"I feel very strongly that Jimmy Carter was a disaster,

he was certainly the poorest president in my lifetime."
 Gerald R. Ford

"C'est pire qu'un crime, c'est une faute."
It is worse than a crime, it is a mistake.

          Antoine Boulay de la Meurthe  (1761 - 1840)

Barely a years has passed during the years Jimmy Carter  was in White House without some new his "mistakes / crime"  bringing to mind Antoine Boulay de la Meurthe's comments on hearing of Napoleon's execution of the Duc d'Enghien in 1804.



Carter's Foreign policy:


- 1978, Iran.

Facing an Islamist revolution, the Shah of Iran sought help from the United States. Iran occupied a strategic place in U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East, acting as an island of stability and a buffer against Soviet penetration into the region. The Shah was pro-American ...  Carter  ordered the aircraft carrier Constellation to the Indian Ocean but ultimately supported the   "regime change"...  Khomeini and his followers swept the country, taking power on February 12, 1979.

The Carter's "regime change" (or  "Iranian Revolution") precipitated the 444 days Iran "hostage crisis", which would last for the rest of Carter's presidency.  In 1980, Carter  planned Operation "Eagle Claw", which was meant to free the hostages in Iran using the Special Forces units. The mission was a failure ...

- 1979, Aphganistan

Carter  & Brzezinski  engineered the Soviet invasion, and, with the support of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the PRC, he created   a campaign supporting mujaheddin in Pakistan and Afghanistan, which were run by Pakistani security services with financial support from the US and Britain.

This policy had the explicit aim of promoting radical Islamist  ... In 1998, Brzezinski was interviewed by the French newspaper Nouvel Observateur on the topic of Afghanistan. He revealed that Carter  support for the mujaheddin had started before the 1979 Soviet invasion and was indeed designed to prompt a Soviet invasion

After 9/11 Carter & Brzezinski were criticized for their  role in the formation of the Afghan mujaheddin network, some of which would later form the Taliban and would shelter Al Qaeda camps

1980, Cambodia

 In January 1980 the Carter  started funding Pol Pot ...  The extent of this support was $85m from 1980 to 1986. During his time in power Pol Pot imposed a version of agrarian collectivization whereby city dwellers were relocated to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labour projects, conceived as a restarting of civilization in "Year Zero". The combined effect of slave labour, malnutrition, poor medical care and executions had an estimated death toll of 750,000 to 1.7 million. His regime achieved special notoriety for singling out all intellectuals and other "bourgeois enemies" to be killed.

The Enemy Within: Hot Summer of 2006


DETROIT (Reuters). A federal judge in Detroit -- Judge Anna Diggs Taylor -- on Thursday ordered the Bush administration to halt the National Security Agency's program of domestic eavesdropping, saying it violated the U.S. Constitution...

Why Detroit?  Detroit – Arab Capital of North America

“Imagine! When I first came to Detroit, I thought that I was still in the Arab world ... I live in an almost Arab city. There are more Arab things to do in this town than in my country.” ... Coming from almost every corner of the Arab world, the Arab immigrants in Detroit have transformed areas throughout the city into replicas of the Arab countries from where they came.

 ... some 10,000 people rallied in the center of metro Detroit's Arab-American community in Dearborn on Tuesday, demanding that the U.S. government put pressure on Israel ... Arab-American marchers carried signs saying "Down, down Israel" ...

"We know that the president is being bought by the Zionist lobby. We know that the (U.S.) Congress is being bought by the Zionist lobby ... " ... a speaker held a portrait of Hassan Nasrallah, Hizballah's secretary-general. The crowd burst into applause.

Rana Abbas-Chami, deputy director of the Michigan Chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, called "... The U.S. is just as guilty as Israel is. History will not forgive, nor will it ever forget, these crimes."

Many people among metro Detroit's Arab-American population say they believe Hizballah ...

  ... Naveed Afzal Haq is charged with aggravated first-degree murder in the death of Pamela Waechter, 58, director of the Jewish charity's annual fundraising campaign. Five other women [one of them was pregnant] were wounded...

"Make no mistake, this was a hate crime," King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng told a news conference. "The attack on these women was an attack on the Jewish community, not only in Seattle but throughout our nation and the world."

The gunman broke into the charity's building on Friday. According to court documents, Haq talked to 911 operators from the office, identified himself by name and said: "This is a hostage situation and I want these Jews to get out."

He later added: "These are Jews and I'm tired of getting pushed around and our people getting pushed around by the situation in the Middle East."

"Hair-Raising" Islamic Ideology Within Our Borders

Forget fighting terror abroad, new research indicates there may be bigger problems in our own backyard!

Not Many U.S. Muslims Blame al Qaeda (AP)

According to a study released May 22, 2007 by Pew Research Center:

- 7% of U.S. Muslims under 30 indicated favorable  view to al Qaeda;

- 26% of U.S. Muslims under 30   answered "Yes"  to   the pollsters  question: "Can Suicide Bombing of Civilian Targets to Defend Islam  be Justified?" 

60% of the   Muslim Americans "do not believe Arab men carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."


 

Think!  One in four younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings of Civilian Targets to defend their religion are acceptable at least in some circumstances,  a poll says.


"It is a hair-raising number," said Radwan Masmoudi, president of the Washington-based Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy, which promotes the compatibility of Islam with democracy.

Who are you, Mr. Buchanan?


Pat Buchanan wrote :
>Nick Burns, No. 3 at State, was at the Herzileah Conference this weekend. "Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon -- there's no doubt about it," Burns told the Israelis. "The policy of the U.S. government is that we cannot allow Iran to become a nuclear weapons state."

Burns was cheered and echoed by ex-Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz: "The year of 2007 is the year of decisiveness. ... The free world doesn't have the privilege to drag its feet on Iran and hope for best."

Democrats failed to stop this war. Can they stop the next one? Or do they suspect and support what they think is coming?
________________________________

Mr. Pat Buchanan was always at the Arab side of the Middle East  conflict.

So, the position of ranking liberals like Barack Obama is more close to his viewpoint then the conservatives ones (like for instance the Newt Gingrich).

After all it is not a parties issue at all. And it is not even the Newt Gingrich personal disagreement with Pat Buchanan.

For example, Pat always told that the US policy at the Middle East  was controlled by "Israel Lobby".

Who is the "lobby" that Mr. Buchanan is talking about?

Why Congress always votes in favor of Israel?

The so called "Israel Lobby" is a Vast Majority of the American People:

RE:  Buchanan's Hypocrisy
Friday, January, 26, 2007 4:56 AM 



Buddy,  you wrote November, 03, 2006 8:02 AM:
"Buchanan is anti Semitic..."
____________

Pat Buchanan worked for President Nixon as a speechwriter. Both of them shared the same negative viewpoints concerning the Jews, but ...

... Richard M. Nixon was the first President who widely open the doors of White house for the leaders of Israel government.

It was Nixon who established the closest relationship between two countires: US and Israel.

Why did Nixon so many efforts in order to set up the strong relationship between Jew's state and USA ?

Because Nixon as a President loved this country and American people more than he personally dislike Jews.

Pat Buchanan most definitely loves this country as well. The only Buchanan 's problem is that he hates Jews more than he loves American people.

Is a reason for him to stay at the position that more close to Arab countries than to Israel.


Ben Shapiro wrote March 12, 2003


Buchanan's favorite targets are what he calls neoconservatives (read: mainstream conservatives), who are "bent on reckless wars, global free trade and open borders."

In the latest issue of his magazine, Buchanan also weaves in his favorite anti-Semitic canard, that neocons are driven by concern for the Jews and want "to conscript American blood to make the world safe for Israel." "We believe the great conservative movement has been hijacked and put into services that would appall the Founding Fathers," Buchanan told the Washington Times in an interview about the magazine. "Neocons are the useful idiots of the liberal establishment," Buchanan reiterated in his Dec. 30, 2002, column.

Buchanan, not the neocons, is the useful idiot of the liberal establishment. He and others like him (notables include Theodoracopulos) are used as straw men by the left. They make it much easier to characterize conservatives as racist and isolationist old white men. If conservatives wish to reach out to new constituencies, they must jettison the Buchananites.

Buchanan's brand of "conservatism" is closer now to the far left than it is to the mainstream right, as shown by his selection of socialist and black nationalist Lenora Fulani for his Reform Party running mate in the 2000 presidential election...

"neoconservative" is an euphemism

Just thought that the Rush Limbaugh's opinion can be taken in consideration as well:

"I'm getting a little tired of these media people speaking in their own code language. A case in point is their use of the term 'neo-conservative.' Whether they choose to hyphenate the label or not, it's a pejorative code word for 'Jews.'“

Anti-Semites Use "Neo-Con" Code Word, Rushlimbaugh.com, April 22, 2003


So, "Buchanan's favorite targets are" always Jews, but sometimes he uses different euphemisms or as Rush called it "Code Word".

"none" writes the best
In order to justify the current position of Pat Buchanan's, he needs to justify the Nazi' position at the WW2 first.

So, he tried to explain that Mr. Hitler and his SS murders actually were not too bad guys at all.

"none" wrote pretty clear about it:

"The main reason for the rise of Hitler was the awful Versailles Treaty ... ... only around two per cent of SS soldiers were war criminals."

That's it. The basic conclusion is always the same: "Blame the Jews!"

The Jews were the main source of all problems for the Germany, and Mr. Hitler was forced by circumstances to found the right solution. Appeared that it works.

Happy End.
________

Bad news: other Jews create the same problems for the US now.

Good news: Mr. Pat Buchanan still remembers the right solution ...

Jimmy Carter's Political History: "The President for Sale"

Money Corrupts. Arab Oil Money Corrupts Absolutely.


Photo

...a photo of the window display of a bookshop in Amman, Jordan, featuring Hitler's Mein Kampf and Carter's Israel=Apartheid book -- both in Arabic. (We don't know what the book in the middle is.)



Jimmy Carter's  Services  Basic Price List:

To understand what feeds former president Jimmy Carter's anti-Israeli frenzy, look at his early links to Arab business:

- Between 1976-1977, the Carter family peanut business received a bailout in the form of a $4.6 million, "poorly managed" and highly irregular loan from the National Bank of Georgia (NBG). According to a July 29, 1980 Jack Anderson expose in The Washington Post, the bank's biggest borrower was Mr. Carter ...

- Agha Hasan Abedi, the Pakistani founder of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), known as the bank "which would bribe God," ...then declared: "we would never talk about exploiting his relationship with the president."

- In January 1978, Abedi paid off ... $3.5 million debt to the NBG, and Pharaon [Saudi billionaire Gaith Pharaon] secretly gained control over the bank... "Of course, the Saudis remained discretely silent... kept quiet about Carter's irregularities... [and] renegotiated the loan to Carter's advantage."

- The President owned 62% of the business and therefore was the largest beneficiary." Pharaon later contributed generously to the former president's library and center.

- Abedi contributed more than $10 million to Mr. Carter's different projects. Even after BCCI was indicted — and convicted -— for drug money laundering, Mr. Carter accepted $1.5 million from Abedi, his "good friend."

- A quick survey of the major contributors to the Carter Center reveals hundreds of millions of dollars from Saudi and Gulf contributors. But it was [drug money laundering] BCCI that helped Mr. Carter established his center.

- Shortly after assuming office, in March 1977, Mr. Carter made his first public statement regarding a Palestinian "homeland." Since then, he has devoted much of his time to denouncing Israel's self-defense against Palestinian terrorism, which he claims is not only "abominable oppression and persecution" of the Palestinians, but also damages U.S. interests in the region.</div>

_________________

The Gift of Friendship is Priceless

In 1990 Carter ghostwrote a speech for Arafat, hoping to polish the Palestinian leader's tarnished image as, at best, being soft on terrorism. Arafat [as his friend Carter ] won the Nobel Peace prize

The Carter Center: Follow the Money!

But it's the financing behind Georgia's Carter Center and the Jimmy Carter Library that raises serious doubts that the former president is, in actuality, a wholly neutral intermediary in the troubled region.

NewsMax has reviewed annual reports that indicate millions of charitable dollars have flowed into the center from His Majesty Sultan Qaboss bin Said Al Said of Oman, Jordan, from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and from the Government of the United Arab Emirates.

Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been donated to the center by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development. H.R.H. Prince Moulay Hicham Ben Abdallah of Morocco has also contributed tens of thousands of dollars.

There are no corresponding contributions apparent from Israeli sources, however.

As the center's literature describes, "The Carter Center and the Jimmy Carter Library were built in large measure thanks to the early leadership and financial support of the Carter Center founders."


Three of those generous Founders:


1. Agha Hasan Abedi

On July 5 1991, banking regulators targeted Abedi's Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), triggering a worldwide financial tidal wave. To date, accountants and lawyers have managed to recoup (discounting fees) $7 billion out of the $12 billion money pit that fueled the BCCI fraud.

Agha Hasan Abedi, a banker and self-styled mystic on first-name terms with Carter, created BCCI in 1972. Abedi had charmed seed money out of Arab sheikhs, organizing camel races and hunting trips. The Bank of America bought into BCCI as a way of buying access to the Middle East, holding a 30 percent stake at one point before dumping its holdings in the late-1970s.

2. His Majesty King Fahd of Saudi Arabia

Last month Saudi Arabia transferred $15.4 million in advance aid to the Palestinian Authority. The transfer was made to a controversial Arab League fund, a product of the recent Arab summit in Beirut. According to Arab spokesmen, the money was hurriedly contributed due to the dire plight of the Palestinian people as a result of "vicious Israeli aggression."

King Fahd, Crown Prince Abdullah and Defense Minister Prince Sultan jointly donated $4.8 million to launch the fund pot, while Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz sent an estimated $800,000 to the families of "155 Palestinian martyrs" killed in the current Israeli offensive.

3. Hasib J. Sabbagh

Sabbagh is the chairman of Consolidated Contractors Co. of Oman, Jordan. He is also the Senior Fellow for the Middle East of the Council on Foreign Relations. Founded in 1921, the Council on Foreign Relations is a membership organization contributing ideas to U.S. foreign policy. The Council publishes Foreign Affairs, a leading journal on global issues.

Individual, foundation, and corporate donors, together with multilateral development assistance programs, support the Carter Center's current annual operating budget of around $30 million. Among the center's announced priorities: promoting democracy, global development, human rights and conflict resolution.

Carter said he has spent much time raising money, but he hopes that a campaign to raise a $150 million endowment will lighten the load. Phil Wise, the center's executive director for operations, said an estimated $110 million has already been raised for the endowment.

Jimmy Carter: The Original Source of Iran's Nuke Threat

Carter Sold Out Iran 1977-1978
by Chuck Morse

As if a light were switched off, the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlevi, portrayed for 20 years as a progressive modern ruler by Islamic standards, was suddenly, in 1977-1978, turned into this foaming at the mouth monster by the international left media. Soon after becoming President in 1977, Jimmy Carter launched a deliberate campaign to undermine the Shah. The Soviets and their left-wing apparatchiks would coordinate with Carter by smearing the Shah in a campaign of lies meant to topple his throne. The result would be the establishment of a Marxist/Islamic state in Iran headed by the tyrannical Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The Iranian revolution, besides enthroning one of the world's most oppressive regimes, would greatly contribute to the creation of the Marxist/Islamic terror network challenging the free world today.

At the time, a senior Iranian diplomat in Washington observed, "President Carter betrayed the Shah and helped create the vacuum that will soon be filled by Soviet-trained agents and religious fanatics who hate America." Under the guise of promoting" human rights," Carter made demands on the Shah while blackmailing him with the threat that if the demands weren't fulfilled, vital military aid and training would be withheld. This strange policy, carried out against a staunch, 20 year Middle East ally, was a repeat of similar policies applied in the past by US governments to other allies such as pre Mao China and pre Castro Cuba.

Carter started by pressuring the Shah to release "political prisoners" including known terrorists and to put an end to military tribunals. The newly released terrorists would be tried under civil jurisdiction with the Marxist/Islamists using these trials as a platform for agitation and propaganda. This is a standard tactic of the left then and now. The free world operates at a distinct dis-advantage to Marxist and Islamic nations in this regard as in those countries, trials are staged to "show" the political faith of the ruling elite. Fair trials, an independent judiciary, and a search for justice is considered to be a western bourgeois prejudice.

Carter pressured Iran to allow for "free assembly" which meant that groups would be able to meet and agitate for the overthrow of the government. It goes without saying that such rights didn't exist in any Marxist or Islamic nation. The planned and predictable result of these policies was an escalation of opposition to the Shah, which would be viewed by his enemies as a weakness. A well-situated internal apparatus in Iran receiving its marching orders from the Kremlin egged on this growing opposition.

By the fall of 1977, university students, working in tandem with a Shi'ite clergy that had long opposed the Shah's modernizing policies, began a well coordinated and financed series of street demonstrations supported by a media campaign reminiscent of the 1947-1948 campaign against China's Chiang Ki Shek in favor of the "agrarian reformer" Mao tse Tung. At this point the Shah was unable to check the demonstrators, who were instigating violence as a means of inflaming the situation and providing their media stooges with atrocity propaganda. Rumors were circulating amongst Iranians that the CIA under the orders of President Carter organized these demonstrations.

In November 1977, the Shah and his Empress, Farah Diba, visited the White House where they were met with hostility. They were greeted by nearly 4,000 Marxist-led Iranian students, many wearing masks, waving clubs, and carrying banners festooned with the names of Iranian terrorist organizations. The rioters were allowed within 100 feet of the White House where they attacked other Iranians and Americans gathered to welcome the Shah. Only 15 were arrested and quickly released. Inside the White House, Carter pressured the Shah to implement even more radical changes. Meanwhile, the Soviets were mobilizing a campaign of propaganda, espionage, sabotage, and terror in Iran. The Shah was being squeezed on two sides.

In April 1978, Moscow would instigate a bloody coup in Afghanistan and install the communist puppet Nur Mohammad Taraki. Taraki would proceed to call for a "jihad" against the "Ikhwanu Shayateen" which translates into "brothers of devils," a label applied to opponents of the new red regime in Kabul and to the Iranian government. Subversives and Soviet-trained agents swarmed across the long Afghanistan/Iran border to infiltrate Shi'ite mosques and other Iranian institutions. By November 1978, there was an estimated 500,000 Soviet backed Afghanis in Iran where, among other activities, they set up training camps for terrorists.

Khomeini, a 78-year-old Shi'ite cleric whose brother had been imprisoned as a result of activities relating to his Iranian Communist party affiliations, and who had spent 15 years in exile in Ba'th Socialist Iraq, was poised to return. In exile, Khomeini spoke of the creation of a revolutionary Islamic republic, which would be anti-Western, socialist, and with total power in the hands of an ayatollah. In his efforts to violently overthrow the government of Iran, Khomeini received the full support of the Soviets.

Nureddin Klanuri, head of the Iranian Communist Tudeh Party, in exile in East Berlin, stated, "The Tudeh Party approves Ayatollah Khomeini's initiative in creating the Islamic Revolutionary Council. The ayatollah's program coincides with that of the Tudeh Party." Khomeini's closest advisor, Sadegh Ghothzadeh, was well known as a revolutionary with close links to communist intelligence. In January 1978, Pravda, the official Soviet organ, officially endorsed the Khomeini revolution.

American leaders were also supporting Khomeini. After the Pravda endorsement, Ramsey Clark, who served as Attorney General under President Lyndon B. Johnson, held a press conference where he reported on a trip to Iran and a Paris visit with Khomeini. He urged the US government to take no action to help the Shah so that Iran "could determine it's own fate." Clark played a behind the scenes role influencing members of Congress to not get involved in the crisis. Perhaps UN Ambassador Andrew Young best expressed the thinking of the left at the time when he stated that, if successful, Khomeini would "eventually be hailed as a saint."

Khomeini was allowed to seize power in Iran and, as a result, we are now reaping the harvest of anti-American fanaticism and extremism. Khomeini unleashed the hybrid of Islam and Marxism that has spawned suicide bombers and hijackers. President Jimmy Carter, and the extremists in his administration are to blame and should be held accountable.

The Libya Controversy


%In September 1978 [when Jimmy Carter became the President  of USA] Billy [Carter] made a highly publicized trip to Libya with a group of Georgia legislators and businessmen eager to make deals. Several months later, he hosted a delegation of Libyans in Atlanta, as they looked for a place to locate a permanent trade mission.

When asked why he was involved, Billy said, "The only thing I can say is there is a hell of a lot more Arabians than there is Jews." He also argued that the "Jewish media [tore] up the Arab countries full-time," and defended Libya against charges of state-sponsored terrorism by saying that a "heap of governments support terrorists and [Libya] at least admitted it"...


A Dubious "Loan"


Once sober, Billy was no longer in demand on the talk-show circuit, so he turned again to his Libyan friends for financial help. In July 1980 he belatedly registered as a foreign agent of the Libyan government and admitted to receiving a $220,000 "loan" for oil sales he was supposed to facilitate.


The press rushed to find out whether the president's brother had hawked his influence with the White House, and a new presidential scandal, "Billygate," was born.

As Jimmy himself later admitted, "He was the president's brother, and therefore fair game."

Jimmy Carter's Glossary

by Joe Mowrey.

... During his term as President, Mr. Carter ordered the CIA to train death squads (benignly labeled "contras") based in Honduras to oppose the Sandinistas after they overthrew the dictator Somoza in Nicaragua.

Nice. This little bit of creative obstructionism was expanded during the Reagan administration and would later become what is commonly known as the Iran-Contra scandal.

After a coup in El Salvador, Carter sent aid and weapons to the El Salvadoran military who proceeded to massacre tens of thousands of civilians. Good work Mr. Carter.

His generous foreign policy initiatives weren't limited to Central America. Carter increased the supply of arms and munitions to the Indonesian government despite their invasion of East Timor. More than 200,000 civilians were slaughtered there, nearly a third of the population.

Remember the Islamic fundamentalist Mujahideen? Carter funded their military buildup in order to entice the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan. This resulted in the complete devastation of that country which led to the rise of the Taliban, friends of Osama Bin Laden, the alleged mastermind of the attacks of 9/11. History has long fingers that touch us in ways never anticipated when its hand is first lifted.

The trail of blood left by the Carter administration has dried to a dark stain which is largely ignored by his admirers. Who was it that supported the Khmer Rouge while they committed genocide in Cambodia? Jimmy Carter.

... Carter endorsed and supported dictator Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines, brutal Pakistani General Zia al Huq, and Saudi King Faud, among other notable human rights abusers.

The list of Mr. Carter's dictatorial pals while he was in office is quite impressive...

    ""San Francisco Chronicle", December 20, 2006. By David Makovsky:


      Carter's book bathes Arab leaders in a very positive light and takes Arab statements at face value but casts the Israelis as often being disingenuous.

      His depiction of Yasser Arafat after becoming head of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in the late '60s emphasizes that he spent much of his "attention to raising funds for the care and support of the refugees and inspiring worldwide contribution to their cause."

      Really? In fact, his group was engaged in the early '70s in a bloody civil war in Jordan, cross-border attacks against Israelis from Lebanon including civilian terror attacks, maintaining a shadowy link to the Munich massacre at the 1972 Olympics, and killing the U.S. ambassador to the Sudan.


The Carter Conspiracy.
December 16, 2006

Why has the Angry Left suddenly decided to resurrect Jimmy Carter and promote him as some kind of saint?

Why is Carter suddenly so full of himself that he writes books like this then refuses to debate?

The answer is simple: Carter is an as-s-hole and the Angry Left is desperate for a hero.

I browsed through the book at Barnes & Noble recently and rather than buying it I wanted to rip it up. Carter’s bias against Israel is so apparent it is loathsome, and his distortion of the facts and glaring inaccuracies in the book make it not even useful as a door stop or paperweight.

... Carter has to be the absolute worst President this country has ever been saddled with.

His administration made every mistake in the book and then some.

His recent public statements and books only serve to remind me of the mess he made of everything. If you want to read an even better rebuttal of Carter’s book and also to see why Carter refuses to debate Alan Dershowitz, trot on over to the Huffington Post and read Dershowitz’s critique of Carter’s book.

Be sure to read the comments of the Carter sycophants from the Angry Left that Huffington seems to attract.

Like Carter, they spew venom and insanity and refuse to listen to any dissenting opinion. Carter himself refuses to debate the very book he supposedly wrote “to stimulate debate”. That is a clear indication to me that he knows his arguments are just as full of crap as he is. Using the word “apartheid” in the title of a book about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is nothing more than a sensationalist, self-aggrandizing attempt to clean up his “legacy.”

Carter should do us all a favor and go into retirement before he goes completely senile. He is already halfway there.


    Jones. Flanders, NJ responded Dec 16:

    Since Jim Carter became the speaker of the left wing liberals, liberalism and anti-Semitism goes hand in hand.

    It is about appeasement of the Islamic terrorists and blame Israel and the Jews for the desire of the Iranian evil and barbarian regime of Ahmadinajad to destroy Israel and repeat the holocaust as called upon him in the 7th century Koran.

    James Baker who provides personal legal services to Saudi Arabia also claimed that reducing the size of Israel to a seven miles width ghetto surrounded by Islamic terrorists would solve the sectarian war in Iraq where Shiite and Sunnis are killing each other with Islamic vendetta since the 7th century.

    Jimmy carter hatred to Israel is so deep that he used in his book ‘unconfirmed’ material [arab street favotite rumors] to make his hateful point for pandering barbarian Islamic terrorists that call for the destruction of Israel.

    Carter the unbiased observer of the Middle East that he claims to be. He has accepted money and an award from Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, saying in 2001: "This award has special significance for me because it is named for my personal friend, Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan."

    This is the same Zayed, the long-time ruler of the United Arab Emirates, whose $2.5 million gift to the Harvard Divinity School was returned in 2004 due to Zayed's rampant Jew-hatred.

    Zayed's personal foundation, the Zayed Center, claims that it was Zionists, rather than Nazis, who "were the people who killed the Jews in Europe" during the Holocaust.

    It has held lectures on the blood libel and conspiracy theories about Jews and America perpetrating Sept. 11.

    Carter's acceptance of money from this biased group casts real doubt on his objectivity and creates an obvious conflict of interest.

The latest example of this moral incoherence can be found in the title of ex-President Jimmie Carter’s book Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid. The use of “apartheid” to describe the measures Israel is forced to take to defend its citizens from being blown up by murderers is obscene...

Carter’s harping on the “Israel lobby,” the latest model of that old “Elders of Zion” calumny in which nefarious Jews rule the world, suggests that Carter may harbor some unpleasant prejudices.

Carter Center Web site's 2004-05 annual report
— the most recent available — the center has received "in excess of $1 million" from characters like Prince Al-Walid bin Talal.

Bin Talal, you might recall, is the Saudi prince who insultingly offered $20 million to New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center. The cash was held out not because the prince cared about terrorism but to rub in that the attack was really a byproduct of the Palestine conflict.

The streetwise Giuliani, who once threw Yasser Arafat out of a New York theater, wasn't fooled by bin Talal's power play and told him to keep his dirty money to himself. Giuliani smelled the quid pro quo and wasn't a man who could be bought.

Carter looks a little different...

Jimmy Carter: Jew-Hater, Genocide-Enabler, Liar
By David Horowitz

... former president Jimmy Carter tours America with a new book that describes Jews as racists and oppressors, and suggests they are also a conspiratorial mafia that intimidates “critics,” controls America’s media and war policy, and are therefore also the source of Islamic terrorism and the Arabs’ genocidal campaign to eliminate them from the map of the Middle East.

In other words, Americans beware of the Jew in your midst.

Here is Carter’s description of the Middle East conflict in his own words, delivered during an interview he gave on National Public Radio during the second day of the Holocaust deniers’ conference in Teheran:

“I have spent a lot of time in Palestine in recent years. … The Palestinians have had their own land, first of all, occupied and then confiscated and then colonized. They’ve been excluded from their own gardens and fields, and pastures and churches. They have been severely restrained in their movements. They have to have different kinds of passes to go through different checkpoints inside their own lands on their own roads. The Israelis have built more than 200 settlements inside Palestine.They connect these settlements with very nice roads for the Israeli settlers, and then superhighways and so forth going into Jerusalem. Quite often the Palestinians are prevented from even riding on those roads that have been built in their own territory. So this has been in many ways worse than it was in South Africa.”

When hundreds of millions of Muslims are calling for the extermination of the Jews of Israel this is more than a lie; it is a blood libel.

It is a lie that Palestinians “had their own land, first of all, occupied.” This is like saying that Texans had their own land occupied by Hispanics, ignoring the fact that Hispanics were there first. The very word Palestine is a Roman appellation for the people called Philistines, who were not Arabs but red-haired sailors from the Aegean. The Jews were there as well.

In short, first of all the Jews were in the land before the Arabs.

Second of all, the Arabs who inhabited the Palestine Mandate in 1948, at the time of the creation the state of Israel, considered themselves Syrians.

Third, the Palestine Mandate was not created on land taken from the Syrians or the Arabs. It was taken from the Turks.

It was not taken from the Turks by the Jews, but by the British and the French. They took it because Turkey sided with Germany in the First World War and, of course, lost. The Turkish empire had ruled the entire region including Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan for four hundred years before Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan were artificially created by the English and the French. Jordan – a state whose majority is Palestinian – occupies 80% of the Palestine Mandate.

So it is a preposterous lie to say that the Palestinians had their own land and that it was occupied by the Jews.

Fourth, the individual plots of land that Jews now own were in the first instance bought from the Arabs who regarded themselves as Syrians and who lived in the area of Israel. The only property that was confiscated was confiscated as a spoil of the aggressive war that five Arab states waged against Israel from the day of its birth. Five Arab armies invaded Israel, a sovereign state, with the declared intent of “pushing the Jews into the sea.” The cry today of the Muslim majority in the Middle East is to “liberate Palestine from the river to the sea.” In other words push the Jews into the sea.

By the standards of occupation and legitimacy Jimmy Carter invokes, Israel has more legitimacy as a Jewish state than Texas does as an American state, rather than a Mexican province.

The fifth Jimmy Carter lie in this lone Jimmy Carter sentence is the claim that the Je
