Despite writing about Jimmy Carter's hatred of Jews and Israel for over a decade, when I heard last week that Jimmy Carter's cancer had spread I felt bad for the man, his family, friends and prayed that he would be free of pain till the end. To be honest I began to agonize what I would write about when he died. Usually I ignore the deaths of dishonorable people, the two exceptions were Helen Thomas who I exposed as an anti-Semite which destroyed her career and John Murtha the late congressional king of pork who disgraced himself and the uniform he wore by making false charges against soldiers honorably serving in Afghanistan.
I pretty much decided I would keep silent. Especially when he started his press conference on Friday revealing that the horrible disease had spread to his brain. Well---that was until a reporter asked him what he would like to see happen before he died, and when he answered the former president slandered the Jewish State (see video below):
In international affairs I would say peace for Israel and its neighbors. That has been a top priority for my foreign policy projects for the last 30 years. Right now I think the prospects of are more dismal than anytime I remember in the last 50 years. Practically, whole process is practically dormant. The government of Israel has no desire for two-state solution, which is policy of all the other nations in the world. And the United States has practically no influence compared to past years in either Israel or Palestine. So I feel very discouraged about it but that would be my number one foreign policy hope.Perhaps it's all the Times he met with Hamas, ignoring their terrorism and declaring they want peace that has clouded Mr. Carter's memory. But the Author of a book with a title calling the Jewish State an apartheid nation forgets history. The truth is that the last Israeli Premier who did not support a two state solution was Yitchak Rabin. Every prime minister since Peres, Netanyahu, Sharon, Barak,
The entire premise of his criticism of Jewish influence on American foreign policy is that money talks. It is Carter, not me, who has made the point that if politicians receive money from Jewish sources, then they are not free to decide issues regarding the Middle East for themselves. It is Carter, not me, who has argued that distinguished reporters cannot honestly report on the Middle East because they are being paid by Jewish money. So, by Carter's own standards, it would be almost economically "suicidal" for Carter "to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine."
(...) If money determines political and public views as Carter insists "Jewish money" does, Carter's views on the Middle East must be deemed to have been influenced by the vast sums of Arab money he has received. If he who pays the piper calls the tune, then Carter's off-key tunes have been called by his Saudi Arabian paymasters. It pains me to say this, but I now believe that there is no person in American public life today who has a lower ratio of real to apparent integrity than Jimmy Carter.Ambassador Marc Ginsburg was Jimmy Carter's deputy senior adviser on the Middle East, and from 1977 through 1980 was White House liaison to the State Department. He has a unique perspective of Jimmy Carter's Middle East dealings. According to the Ambassador, the reason Carter goes out of his way to bash Israel is that he feels American Jews did not kiss his butt enough for all that he did for Israel.
...When former President Jimmy Carter revealed that Israel has more than 150 nuclear weapons, he clearly had a motive, according to his administration’s deputy senior adviser, Marc Ginsberg: “I think there’s no doubt — particularly given the vantage point I had in the White House at the end of his administration — that he resents the way in which Israel and the American-Jewish community have failed to express sufficient gratitude for his efforts on behalf of peace in the Middle East.
“In my judgment, there’s no other explanation,” Ginsberg says.About those Camp David talks most people forget how Carter didn't want them to happen. The truth is when Sadat went to Jerusalem and Israel and Egypt began bi-lateral talks, Carter objected. He didn't care that the peace process already begun by Sadat and Begin might lead to peace, Carter wanted his "Geneva Peace Process" plan or nothing.
(...) “There’s no doubt he knows exactly what he is doing when he’s making these statements, or making misrepresentations that Hamas has agreed to recognize Israel if certain conditions occur, or to the book he wrote [‘Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid’] referring to Israel.”
Carter's hatred of Israel and, by extension, of all Jews (and make no mistake, if you spend any time in the man's presence, his discomfort at being in the same room with someone who merely appears to be Jewish is palpable), is rooted in the man's megalomania, and his unflinching belief in his own rectitude.Here's the bottom line, I am sorry the guy is so sick but that doesn't change the fact that deep in his heart he is an anti-Semitic dirt-bag. As he plays out his last days, I would just like to give the former President one suggestion, perhaps it's time to learn Hebrew, because when he meets his maker he may be a bit surprised about how he feels about Jew-haters.
May he be in hell thirty minutes before Saint Peter knows he's dead.
NOT that it would matter to St. Peter anyway
No mention of regrets of deposing the Shah of Iran and installing the Ayatollah Khomeini and the rest of the mad mullahs who have driven radical Islam and terror around the globe as well as subjecting the people of Iran to 40 years of brutal oppression
Nor is there mention of regrets for enabling the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan which became the rally point and incubator for radical Islam
Nor is there any mention by Carter of regrets for pressuring Anwar Sadat not to crack down on the Muslim Brotherhood radicals who were fomenting unrest in Egypt on bogus human rights excuses.
The Muslim Brotherhood then assassinated Sadat , destroying all hope for Mid East Peace . The Muslim Brotherhood conspirators were then exiled by Egypt to Afghanistan where they formed al Qaeda.
Jimmy Carter gave birth to the plague that is Radical Islam and all he regrets is that the loss of a helio cost him his re election.
That speaks volumes to who and what jimmy carter is about.
I prey his days are short and that he repents before he passes.
Of course , there is little chance of repentance for one as misguided and self righteous as good ol JImmy
Is he dead yet? I’m afraid I’ll miss it.
Expect theatricality - I'm guessing he insists on being buried in a plain pine box and designates civil rights activists as pallbearers.
Having compassion for an ailing ex-president does not preclude despising him as an antisemitic dirtbag bastard.
True, Carter hates Jews, but Satan’s man in the WH has outdone even Carter.
“Carter’s hatred of Israel and, by extension, of all Jews (and make no mistake, if you spend any time in the man’s presence, his discomfort at being in the same room with someone who merely appears to be Jewish is palpable), is rooted in the man’s megalomania, and his unflinching belief in his own rectitude.”
I watched Carter’s cancer presser & I could only think,
“Karma’s a bitch, Jimmah. You reap what you sow.”
Carter won’t be the first public miscreant to die of brain disease, fully aware yet helpless to prevent the inevitable. Teddy Swimmer, anyone?
After finding out that Carter has four brain melanomas, some cruel individual commented, “Long live the new flesh!”
(*) Videodrome
He’s a pisher but, Obama is actually worse.
It is so obvious that cancer attacked his brain.
Wow...one would think that, with the looming prospect of immanent death and judgement, Jimmy would want to make peace with the People who gave us the Bible and our Savior.
Jimmy Carter is a very evil man. I will not mourn him when he dies, and not should any American. His role in justifying Hugo Chavez’ outrageous fraudulent “election” alone was a profile in evil. I despise the man. Who even calls a freaking press conference to announce they have brain cancer? Has he no dignity? Sadly no. Only a massive malignantly-narcissistic ego.
Sad to say I have no sympathy. I know what he has done to my kids world. We have Iran as it is because of him and because we have Iran as it is, this world will someday burn. Billions will suffer and die because of his lack of action and foolish ideas. And let’s not forget what he and the dim’s have done to America. Please leave Carter. Don’t let the door hit ya in the @ss.
He had more time.
Reference caught. Not sure I “got” the movie, though.
Two interpretations to it.
What is agreed on is that an eccentric scientist created a TV signal that when viewed, causes the formation of a deadly brain tumor in the viewer. The tumor alters their perceptions of reality, and makes them suggestible, so that they can be programmed as assassins, until they die.
The scientist and his peers then formed an organization that would broadcast this signal concealed in the worst order of pornography, snuff films, where someone is killed during the making of the film. Figuring that only absolute moral degenerates would watch it, then die of brain tumors.
However, the scientist himself went insane with a brain tumor, turned against the organization he helped create, and became convinced that the brain tumor was the next stage in human evolution, actually changing reality instead of just incorrectly interpreting it.
And this leads to the two interpretations of the movie. Either the rational view, that the brain tumors interfered with the perception of reality by the victim; or the science fiction view that the tumors *did* alter reality.
Gai feifen afenyam, Jimmy.
Yes I thought those comments were absurd too. His biggest regret was the failure of the hostage rescue mission?? And the perceived impact on his reelection changes??? That’s really what he thinks about 35 years later??? unbelievable.
