Carters Shameful Duplicity
If blame for what is happening in the Palistine\Israeli conflict today were to fall on one man, it would be the coward JIMMY CARTER, by far the worst President America and the world has ever endured.

His shameful betrayal in 1979 of the only US ally in the region,the Shaw of Iran, was the beginning of mess with
radical Islam and the madman now in power.

The only good thing about Carters putrifabrications is that every time he opens his mouth,or writes a book' more and more of his absolute failures as president are revealed and exposed by those who know the real jimmy peanut farmer carter.

His cowardice is as much revealed by his refusal to debate his false allegations as it would be if he did.

In public he should hang his head in shame and may the revelations of this book be the end of the carefully crafted " Cater Myths" by the Democratic Party and their media cronies.

Yes,but.... he did win (buy) a Nobel peace prize (price), so did his partner another great piecemaker Arafat!

I am grateful to Professor Dershowitz in his studied and comprehensive review of President Carter's book. It is clear to many individuals that Carter's book is a political position paper. Why don't authors admit by inclusion in the title that their political agenda is the reason for the book? Professor Dershowitz did so, in the title of his book, The Case for Israel. Carter could have called his book, "The Case Against Israel," which would have more honestly captured its raison d'etre.

Bravo on critique of Carter's book
Thank you for your studied comments on Carter and his recent book. He has displayed a closed mind to truth concerning a correct analysis of the Palestinian/Israeli situation. His failure to debate is not surprising since he apparently believes he has all the "correct" answers and does not want to be shown in public to be so far off base.

Genesis 12:3
"I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you." Apparently, Jimmy Carter hasn't read that part of the Bible or he's getting senile.


(7) Andy 12/27/2006 10:32:00 PM
He would be less harmful if antisemitic instead of mistaken
Jimmy Carter isn't brave for beating up on Israel. He's a bully. And like all school-yard bullies, underneath the tough talk and bravado, there's a nagging insecurity and a fear that one day he'll have to answer for himself in a fair fight."
I suspect that fear is believing that in the next world he will have to answer for himself. Judaism defines sin as a mistake. In my opinion Carter is mistaken as opposed to being a rasha. A number of leftist Jews share his beliefs. I believe that he is not an anti-Semite. That is between Carter and God to know for certain. I do believe that he is a danger to Israel. He seems unable to understand that the Arab world will not yet accept a Jewish State in the Middle East as permanent and legitimate. I believe he knows that Israel as a Jewish State has a more moral claim to exist then even the United Sates. Both secular and religious reasons validate the Zionist idea of a Jewish State in Israel. I believe that the Jews need to respond with truth and let the world know they will not go quietly to their death again. Israel is a nuclear power. They should serve notice that they are, if necessary willing to nuke the Mideast and wherever else they deem necessary for survival if faced with destruction.

It's Christianity, Not the NT, That Teaches Antisemitism
I really empathize with Palti (12/27/2006). After all, if I was Jewish, I would believe the same thing. Which is, that the antisemitism that is inherent in Christianty, is derived from the New Testament.

After all, whenever you hear raving Christian lunatics preaching hatred against all things Jewish - including Zionism - and spouting "verses" from the NT, you too would draw the same conclusion.

However, just as there are non-contextual quotes taken from the Talmud to support erroneous claims against Judaism; and Jews themselves, so are there many erroneous non-contextual, even mythological claims; made by Christian antisemites, which are either direct misquotes of the NT, partial quotes, or completely falsified, i.e., nonexistent.

I am not vouching for the entire book (the NT), nor all of its claims, as there are parts that I do not like, nor do I agree with them either (in the light of Torah). However, it [the NT] does include many passages that are not only pro-Israel, but pro-Torah (Written and Oral), and Pro-Judaic. As well as, other portions, that are very supportive of B'nei Yisrael.

To clarify further, many false statements against the Jewish people; and their faith, are allegedly quoted from the NT, but again, a full and close examination of the passages involved, will usually reveal, that the Christian antisemite, has deliberately misconstrued her/his "facts", much in the same way as former president Jimmy Carter has done in his book about, "Palestine".

Since this is not an article about the NT, but rather, Mr. Carter's 'nutty' book, I will stop here, and not include passages from the NT to prove my point.

Just know, that it is Christianity's historical (mostly European, not necessarily American) slant on the NT, and not the book itself, that is anti-Judaic, anti-Israel, and antisemitic.

May mashiach come soon and in our lifetime(s). Shalom

He's Just Nuts!
Oh for goodness sake! People, will y'all do me a favor? Will you please stop blaming the Baptists or the Democrats or anyone else except Jimmy Carter for what he has written?

Some of the letters that have appeared so far are more bigoted than anything Carter has written. So what if a town in Georgia is missing their town idiot? We've got one here in Texas that's got the same problem.

To try to place the blame on Baptists is ludicrous! It shows not just bigotry on the part of the folks who write their diatribes, it shows a complete show of ignorance. Do you have any idea of how many groups call themselves Baptists? Most would blanch at being paired with Carter. They would be downright insulted as most Baptist groups feel that Jew-hate is a sin.

Senile? Yeah. That's it. The guy's senile. Like a fox! So what's his major maladjustment? MONEY! He's an Arabophile! He just loves Arabs. Especially those that fork out a lot of money to get him to write so-called books that are filled with Jew-hate.

Now it is possible that he is insane. I'd feel comfortable with that appellation. To say that you want to start a discussion and then refuse to engage in one is nothing short of nuts. No pun intended.

His Jew-hate is obvious when he refuses to go to any venue in which there are a lot of those filthy Jews. Just the thought must turn his stomach. After all, they do smell different, don't they? Maybe it's the lack of stale beer in the air that disturbs old Jimmy.

By the way, please don't think I hate all Arabs or Muslims. I don't. I take each person for who they are. I've some lovely Arabs living on my street and my wonderful cardiologist is a Syrian. The only people I don't like are bigots who refuse to give anyone a chance.

Well, I've given Jimmy Carter a chance and he's come up short. At the bottom, the man is just another coward, another bully. Poke him with a stick and he'll run away.

In closing, any man who could say that the Israeli/Arab situation is akin to that of Rwanda is simply mad as a hatter and should be put someplace where he can't hurt himself.

It's a sad day when a former president won't discuss something legitimate simply because he's a Jew.

I'd be remiss if I didn't admit that I am in mourning for the Late President Ford. There was a man who could be rightfully called a mench. He will be sorely missed by those who knew him.

Jimmy Carter and the pig
Remember the story of the pig who was lying in a gutter outside a tavern? A drunk staggered out of the tavern, took a look at the pig and decided to lay down in the gutter with him... which prompted the pig to get up, shake himself, and walk off in search of better company.
Righteous gentiles would hardly agree that Jimmy Carter espouses a position that comes from either the Old or New Testament. His position in not only anti-historical but anti-biblical. Because anti-semitism is indefensible to the christians I know, they walked off from Jimmy Carter years ago in search of better company.


(11) palti 12/27/2006 6:36:00 AM
Carter's antisemitism
I was not surprised reading excerpts fromCarter's book.
What drives this man is his antisemitic attitude towards jews that derives from his VERY deep religious faith.
Not all christians are antisemitics, but the onse who are relegiousely fanatic christians (like Jimmy Carter), are the most antisimists among the christians.
Antisemitism is rooted in the NEW TESTAMENT , (what the christians refers to as the HOLY BIBLE , but in fact, the jews OLD TESTAMENT ....is the REAL holy bible), and if someone is a fanatic christian (like Carter), he MUST be an antisemist, like Carter was even when he was president.
I think that every respectable American should be ashamed of that Mr Carter, and condemn him publically.
Palti .......a proud jew from Israel

FOLLOW THE MONEY -- WASH TIMES ARTICLE
Carter's Arab financiers
By Rachel Ehrenfeld
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, and its chairman at that time was Mr. Carter's confidant, and later his director of the Office of Management and Budget, Bert Lance.

At that time, Mr. Lance's mismanagement of the NBG got him and the bank into trouble. Agha Hasan Abedi, the Pakistani founder of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), known as the bank "which would bribe God," came to Mr. Lance's rescue making him a $100,000-a-year consultant. Abedi then declared: "we would never talk about exploiting his relationship with the president." Next, he introduced Mr. Lance to Saudi billionaire Gaith Pharaon, who fronted for BCCI and the Saudi royal family. In January 1978, Abedi paid off Mr. Lance's $3.5 million debt to the NBG, and Pharaon secretly gained control over the bank.

Mr. Anderson wrote: "Of course, the Saudis remained discretely silent... kept quiet about Carter's irregularities... [and] renegotiated the loan to Carter's advantage."

There is no evidence that the former president received direct payment from the Saudis. But "according to... the bank files, [it] renegotiated the repayment terms... savings... $60,000 for the Carter family... 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.

When Mr. Lance introduced Mr. Carter to Abedi, the latter gave $500,000 to help the former president establish his center at Emory University. Later, 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 BCCI that helped Mr. Carter established his center.

BCCI's origins were primarily ideological. Abedi wanted the bank to reflect the supra-national Muslim credo and "the best bridge to help the world of Islam, and the best way to fight the evil influence of the Zionists."

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.

By the time BCCI was shut down in July1991, it operated in 73 countries with a deficit of $12 billion, which it had managed to hide with wealthy Arab shareholders and Western luminaries. Among them Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahayan of Abu Dhabi, who gave hundreds of millions of dollars to Yasser Arafat and Palestinian terrorist groups, and who branded the United States: "our enemy number one"; Former head of Saudi foreign intelligence service, and King Faisal's brother-in-law, Kamal Adham — who with another Saudi, the banker of the royal family, Khaled bin Mahfouz, staged BCCI's attempt to illegally purchase the Washington-based First American bank, in the early 1980s.

True to its agenda, BCCI assisted in spreading and strengthening the Islamic message; they enabled Pakistan's nuclear ambitions, and helped the Palestinian leadership to amass a $10 billion-plus fortune, used to further terrorist activities and to buy more influence in the West.

BCCI founders also supported the Islamic fundamentalist opposition to the Shah of Iran, and saw it as an opportunity to undermine Western influence in the Gulf. They assisted the revolution financially, reinforcing their position within the leadership of the Iranian revolution. Ironically, the success of that revolution cost Mr. Carter his presidency.

BCCI's money also facilitated the Saudi agenda to force Israel to recognize Palestinians "rights," convincing Egyptian president Anwar Sadat to sign the Camp David Accords in September 1978. Since then, Mr. Carter repeatedly provided legitimacy to Arafat's corrupt regime, and now, like the Saudis, he even sides with homicidal Hamas as the "legitimate" representative of the Palestinian people.

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Mr. Carter again laid responsibility for U.S. bias against the destitute, depressed and (consequently) violent Palestinians on American policy makers' helplessness, over the last 30 years, against the menacing tactics of the powerful American-Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC).

However, it seems that AIPAC's real fault was its failure to outdo the Saudi's purchases of the former president's loyalty. "There has not been any nation in the world that has been more cooperative than Saudi Arabia," the New York Times quoted Mr. Carter June 1977, thus making the Saudis a major factor in U. S. foreign policy.

Evidently, the millions in Arab petrodollars feeding Mr. Carter's global endeavors, often in conflict with U.S. government policies, also ensure his loyalty.

Rachel Ehrenfeld is the director of the American Center for Democracy.

WHY I AM ALSO LEAVING THE LEFT
after reading this Arabic anti zionist propaganda sounding word for word like a Hezbolliar, after seeing my own Senator Nelson give comfort and conversing and KISSING Assad (posterior), after seeing the California Lefties hate fest of anti Semitism trussed up as anti Zionism,(www.zombietime.com) after reading day after day in our media that Fatah Nazis are "moderate", and that somehow negotiation or diplomacy with criminals who have no intention of peace are being courted by Dems, I will NEVER vote Democratic EVER AGAIN. I hated Bush, never once voted for a Republican since 1968, yes he lied about WMD's but now that he is telling the truth about the "axis of Evil" no one will listen. I am a liberal on domestic issues and a hawk on war in the ME. I see very few choices among Dems and am disgusted at the coddling of Muslims in the USA, making plans to undermine us under our noses. I have never been more ashamed to say I am an American.
I have seen the demonizing of Israel as a planned campaign by Hamas and other terror organizations and it is working on average Americans who ignorance and apathy is astounding. Whose jew-hate needs so little to catch fire.
Holocaust 2 is already taking palce in Africa, Islamic aggressions are not being checked as the Germans walked over Austria no one thought they would go furthur, people laughed at the funny ridiculous Hitler, we are headed for Holocaust Redux and no one will speak against Islamic Fascism. If you do you are labeled racist.
I expect to hear this garbage from Arabs but to find it embraced and nurtured by a seeming humanitarian Christian, I cannot say how disappointed I am... UGH.
Go Dershowitz, I will keep spouting the truth too and pray that more people begin to hear it. NEVER AGAIN.

Thanks Alan Dershowitz for Providing Balance
When a former US President writes, it would ordinarily evoke a feeling of confidence in a very large number of Americans. That is scary when it applies to Carter's book! If an ordinary citizen were to make counterclaims, the President's version would be given more credence. But Mr. Dershowitz is a Harvard Professor, educated, well read, and intellegent, so his comments are very believable.
I cannot fathom why President Carter would be so transparent in his disdain for Israel - there is no balance given (as I have read via all reviews of his book, which I refuse to read).
Carter claims that Dershowitz is biased (because he is a Jew?) and cannot be debated. That thinking is bigoted. Can parents not be trusted to see that a child does wrong? Carter seems to wish to DISMISS the facts and the feelings of Jews when it comes to Israel, but has absolutely no problem accepting the Palestinian's version, as though it is not slanted in the slightest.
I know I did not read the book. But I have read plenty of books on the Holocaust, enough to know that one leader can mislead many. Apatheid is so different from the situation in Israel that it is clearly used as an inflammatory word, nothing else. Is Carter's Southern background the reason for this comparison? You bet it is!

Historical distortions
I'm very shocked and disappointed that Jimmy Carter--a former President, Naval officer, state governor, and Annapolis graduate--would stoop so low as to re-write history in such a nonsensical way.

I listened to him on a radio program and was appalled at his false dichtomy between "strong" Israel and the "weak" Palestinians. Talking about the general struggle in the Middle East involving Israel, he failed to mention Hezbollah, backed by powerful Iran. Willful ignorance or anti-semitism?

I think it's a third case: the growing hatred of the state of Israel on the Left, which is why I've heard (from the Michael Medved Show) that Dershowitz's new book project is tentatively titled, "Why I Left the Left."

Perhaps it's time for more supporters of Israel to think about doing so.

Carter gave his support for Hamas after the terrorist organization won big in the January, 06 parlimentary elections. Therefore, these revelations concerning Carter's good buddy and Nazi-lovin' Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan doesn't suprise me in the lest. Westerns such take notice of such revelations concerning someone like Carter: He gives lip-service of supporting a Jewish state of Israel, but he preaches from the same podium that anti-Semites and Jew-haters speak from. It should be evident that anyone (Jew or gentile) who anyway supports Israel's vicious enemies in their cause is a vicious enemy of Israel themselves, plaim and simple!

In my heart, I always knew that Jimmy Carter was an anti-semite and he proved it now. How ironic that he won't debate those whom he knows can prove him wrong. He is not fooling anyone except those who would want to distort the truth like he is.

Disappointed with Carter
It's very painful to see someone I used to admire and respect shooting himself in the foot as badly as President Carter has here. Whether it is due to senility or just an inability to deal with the reality of the Mideast, he should stick to the one thing he still does well -- building homes for the poor -- and keep his mouth shut about those things he clearly does not understand. Kudos to Prof. Dershowitz for bringing the sad truth to the public eye.

Bravo, Professor Dershowitz!
Thank you for bringing this issue into the limelight. (Former) President Carter is worse than a hypocrite -- he's a bigot hiding behind a "diplomatic" facade. You are correct; the surest sign of a plagiarist and pseudo-intellectual is someone fearful of having his falsehoods exposed in an open debate forum. Keep after him Professor!
