Carter's Jew Hate Hits Despicable Low

By G-d, that peanut of a man can't do enough to stab the Jews in the head. He is unfrickinbelievable. How is old is that bag of hate anyway? Pancreatic cancer killed every member of his family except him. His evil is more powerful than the deadliest cancer on earth.

Carter Center on the West Bank Ed Lasky hat tip OCM

Sabeel, a group trying to promote the view that Christians should not offer support to Israel, announces the opening of the Carter Center on the West Bank. This is nothing less than an attempt to weaken Christian support for Israel

This is a new low from you-know-who.

This support is based, in part, on a view that God has a covenant with Jews that Christians are Biblically bound to honor. The Sabeel group has been propagandizing the view that this Covenant between God and the Jews is broken and that Christians (in particular, Palestinian Christians) have replaced Jews as the group that God honors.  Carter has now announced that he supports this effort. Carter has clearly embarked on an effort to erode support for Israel among Christians-this support has become increasingly important to Israel and therefore a target for Carter.

See "Splitting the Evangelicals from Israel" for some background. Also, this.

Today'sWashington Post covers a dynamic within the Evangelical community that may affect its future priorities.

Hat Tip: David Kudish.

UPDATE: Over at the Astute Blogger, Pastorius has some astute observations of this born again Christian. That's really rich.

UPDATE: More fallout from the bag o'bile;

Never Stop Being You, Jimmy

NY Sun: CBS stockholders plan to give it to CBS subsidiary Simon & Schuster over Carter’s “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” slammed for being an anti-Israeli diatribe and “a pack of demonstrable lies” on “page after page.”

These are never simple issues. Personally, I support freedom of speech, especially in the case of Jimmy Carter, who digs the hole deeper every time he opens his mouth. Paying him to do so and profiteering off it is another matter.  Publishing untruths, also to be frowned upon.

But if the result is to demonstrate to the world and amplify Carter’s self-beclownment, then serious publishers and their shareholders must ask themselves whether a higher purpose is not in fact being served

"(Christian) support (for Israel) is based, in part, on a view that God has a covenant with Jews that Christians are Biblically bound to honor"...it's surely based in part on these theological considerations, but I think there's another simpler and probably more powerful explanation:

Anti-Israel attitudes in the U.S. originate largely in academia. Evangelicals are less influenced by the force field of academia than are many other groups in American society--for example, I doubt if the typical Evangelical watches a whole lot of PBS or listens to a whole lot of NPR. Thus, these individuals are relatively immune to the anti-Israel propagandizing, and this is also true for those in the same social groups who are not particularly religious.

I think Carter got his judenhass from that famous populist, Tom Watson. Watson was a vicious anti-Semite who pushed for the lynching of Leo Frank. The evidence points away from Leo Frank murdering Mary Phagen and the janitor Conley as the perpertrator, but it was more advantageous culturally for a northern Jew to be found guilty of the crime.

"There's no need to fear; UnderZog is here!"

Frank was subsequently proved innocent. He was so not guilty. Another Dreyfus Affair.

According to Wikipedia, James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. was born October 1, 1924. I would not be surprised to hear that he is senile, or that he is quickly becoming senile.

But, I do not want to put down all old folks: one my brothers-in-law is a lot older than his wife is (my oldest sister). He is pushing 90, and is very informed, bright, and alert; unlike Jimmah, his junior, who continues to show his uninformed bigotry, and general small mindedness.

Unless dementia set in over 30 yrs ago senility is not the issue. Dhimma C. attempted to make the Israeli-pali issue his legacy.

He failed in every other domestic and other foreign policy he attemped.

F**k 'im.

The left is terrified (TERRIFIED) of anything they cannot control through the smoke and mirrors of manipulation and deception. Carter and Komrads are petrified of the love that exists between conservative Christians and Jews and that this might fracture their political coalition. "Born-again" (sic) grinnin' Jimma must resort to his M.O., gossip, rumormongering, and bearing false witness against Christians and Jews, along with the establishment of "carter centers" (sic) as a defensive misinformation counter attack.

"This support is based, in part, on a view that God has a covenant with Jews that Christians are Biblically bound to honor. The Sabeel group has been propagandizing the view that this Covenant between God and the Jews is broken and that Christians (in particular, Palestinian Christians) have replaced Jews as the group that God honors. "

I just looked over Sabeel's website and I did not find evidence to this claim. Furthermore, the congruence of Christianity and liberation movements is not new. Sabeel seems to be a group which supports peaceful engagement with Israel, supports a two-state solution, and supports an end to the violence that both Israelis and Palestinians suffer. This is from the website. You disagree, then prove me wrong.

Now, if Sabeel supports peace and empowerment for Palestinians, it is therefore a group worthy of support. Support from the Carter Center. Support from Jews.

You attack Carter as an anti-Jewish. Carter was a great friend of Israel. I see you attack him for withdrawing support for the Shah. I do not know that he actually withdrew support from the Shah of Iran. But the Shah was a brutal dictator...every bit as bad as Saddam Hussein. Yet you attack Carter. Question: Are you Jewish? Do you believe in Jewish principles? It does not seem to me that you are Jewish from this website.

Now, about the quote above. I wish that Christians would not base support for Israel based upon the mythology of the Bible. I wish that they would support Israel because Israel is a democracy. And their support of Israel should include encouragement to find peaceful, dignified solutions to its security problems and a demand that Israel never give up the quest for righteousness in its actions and policies.

The evangelical support of Israel based on the idea that the Jews are the “Chosen people” is rather icky. No Jew I know believes that we are “more special” than others. This claim goes against the universalism of G_ds message to his children. It goes against the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. In short, its stupid.

And to the poster above who says that anti-Israel attitudes in the US comes from Academia, I just have to say … no. Anti-Israel attitudes in the US come from anti-Semitism. And that, my friend, is embedded in the Christian religion.

I have to disagree with the previous poster. In my years in the American Baptist Church, before moving from home, and finding a home in the Presbyterian Church, I have NEVER heard anything that is anti-Semitic. My old Baptist preacher is over 90, and he has never uttered anything that could be considered anti-Semitic within my hearing. My father was attempting to read through the whole Bible before he died last fall. He commented at one time that G_d was mad at the Jews for screwing up so many times. I pointed out that He also forgave them time after time after time.

I am no Bible scholar, but what I have read so far, doing what my father started, indicates that the Jews were the chosen people, that they screwed up more times than any would like to admit, but G_d still stood by them after they admitted their errors.

That being said, I also agree with a poster way up the column who said that Israel should be supported because they are a recognized country by the UN, and their right to exist is already established by law, therefore, no other country has the right to call for their elimination.

Since old King Saud let the Wahabbis gain strength and "legitimacy" in the big sand box, the Muslims who might have been more like the C and E Christians (Christmas and Easter!) if they could, now they are afraid to point out the knucklehead with the gun, because someone else is lurking to squeal on those who just want to live in peace, and wish death/martyrdom for the knuckleheads. When someone is waiting to slit your throat, after slitting the throat of your children, parents, grandparents, etc. in front of you, and perhaps raping ALL the females of any age in front of you, it is no wonder that there are few who will come forward with information! You really have to admire those Iraquis who DO provide information, because they do so at the risk of their lives and the lives of all of their extended families.
