The 30-year old question. ....and one that's best answered with yet another question: What isn't wrong with Dhimmi Jimmy?
Every time he opens his mouth, Jimmy Carter proves he just wasn't up to the job of President.
I think they don't give up out of principle: that a nation of six million has a right to defend itself in its historic homeland, and a right to expect its neighbors to recognize its right to exist.
A sanctimonius p***k.
Back in the 70's it was common knowledge that the power behind the throne was always carter's witchy wife. Could be that she has something to do with it - or it could be that carter is just an ahole. Or a combo of both.

Simple and obvious:
Jimmy is old and senile.
in 1985, Daniel Pipes reviewed Carter's book Blood of Abraham. Pipes points out Jimmah's "mistakes", most of which are classic Anti-Jew (ancient conflicts over land,human rights for palis, rights that arabs enjoy no where else consequently, equating barbarian with Jew). I will have to take Pipes's word on this since it has been years since I actually read this book.
Carter only reflects the openness available to attacking Israel and consequently Jewish lives because today, it is cheap to do so. When the winds permit, the anti Jew crawls out of his miserable shell and rears his ugly head. The times permit Jimmah to say what he says and the refusal to deal with direct threats to Israel's existence such as coming from Teheran are assisting him.
The anti Jew is strengthened by the climate of appeasement of the arabians and persians and in their own warped minds (J. Baker included)see Israel as the cause and the most to blame for arabian aggression and the infiltration of Europe.
Leftists like Carter and most Jews are leftist absolutists first, and religion is waaaayyy down their list of priorities.
Since Leftism requires the destruction of Western Civilization as a prerequisite of their program, any font of Western Civilization (Israel, the Catholic Church, private property, equality before the law) must be also
destroyed.
Carter is just a bitter, self-righteous, hypocritical anti-Semite (among many other similarly wonderful character traits). The fact that he's come out of the closet about it so much in the last few years may be a symptom of the times we're in, or of his travel down the road toward complete senility (or both). I used to think that he was just a good-willed imbecile, but over the last few years I have come to realize that he is a truly malevolent being, a black-hearted hater of the worst sort.
I always despised the simpleton - geez, the moron cannot even correctly say the word "nuclear." How did Rickover ever let a guy who said "nukear" get through the sub program? He never had a clue about the Soviet threat, and his failure to act against the Ayatollas in Iran during the hostage crisis was the cream on the cake. The only good thing that he did was to not touch the gun issue, but I think that he was probably too busy screwing up the country with other things to even bother.
If he was on fire I wouldn't pi$$ on him to put out the flames.
"Peanut Boy" got it handed to him on C-Span!
From the Opinion Journal:
A longtime aide to Jimmy Carter has resigned from the Carter Center think tank, calling the former president's new book on Israel and the Arabs one-sided and filled with errors," the Associated Press reports. "Kenneth Stein, the Carter Center's first executive director and founder of its Middle East program, sent a letter that bluntly criticized the book to Carter and others."
Power Line has the text:
President Carter's book on the Middle East, a title too inflammatory to even print, is not based on unvarnished analyses; it is replete with factual errors, copied materials not cited, superficialities, glaring omissions, and simply invented segments. Aside from the one-sided nature of the book, meant to provoke, there are recollections cited from meetings where I was the third person in the room, and my notes of those meetings show little similarity to points claimed in the book. Being a former President does not give one a unique privilege to invent information or to unpack it with cuts, deftly slanted to provide a particular outlook.
Stein says he'll elaborate on these points "in due course." The Jewish Virtual Library has some quotes from Carter's presidency that show he has changed his tune on the Mideast.
This is from a Feb. 25, 1980, speech to United Jewish Appeal National Young Leadership Conference:
I am opposed to an independent Palestinian state, because in my own judgment and in the judgment of many leaders in the Middle East, including Arab leaders, this would be a destabilizing factor in the Middle East and would certainly not serve the United States' interests.
And this is from a "White House joint conference" the following month, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt:
We oppose the creation of an independent Palestinian state. The United States, as all of you know, has a warm and unique relationship of friendship with Israel that is morally right. It is compatible with our deepest religious convictions, and it is right in terms of America's own strategic interests. . . .
We are committed to Israel's right to live in peace with all its neighbors, within secure and recognized borders, free from terrorism. We are committed to a Jerusalem that will forever remain undivided with free
How much of the Jewish vote in 1980 went to John Anderson? As a liberal Republican, he was well placed to get votes from people fed up with Carter who couldn't bear to think of voting for the offical nominee of the Republican Party.
