When Humanitarianism Ends: Jimmy Carter's Disturbing Request on Behalf of a Nazi War Criminal (Judean Rose)

Disclaimer: the views expressed here are solely those of the author, weekly Judean Rose columnist Varda Meyers Epstein. Jimmy Carter died, but few Jews mourn him. Carter’s animus toward the Jewish people is by now, legendary. Elder of Ziyon offered an overview Carter’s overt Jew-hatred in Jimmy Carter, antisemite. Saving the worst for last, Elder detailed Jimmy Carter’s plea...

There is no inoculation for the virus of Jew-hatred

My post about Jimmy Carter's antisemitism last week prompts a question: but what about all the wonderful things he has done?One cannot argue that Carter has not been sincere when he works with Habitat for Humanity, for example. His Middle East work may be influenced by his antisemitism, but he has worked on many other worthy causes. How can those things fit together?But one...

Jimmy Carter, antisemite.

The announcement that Jimmy Carter is entering hospice care at his home is prompting a wave of fawning pre-obituaries about what a wonderful humanitarian he is.No one is talking about his antisemitism.Carter's animus towards Israel is legendary, but the source of that hate is not his progressivism or humanitarianism, but old fashioned Christian antisemitism.For decades, Jimmy...

David Friedman's "Sledgehammer" -- Should All US Ambassadors to Israel Have Law Degrees? (Daled Amos)

By Daled AmosFrom the time that Donald Trump won the election in 2016 -- and even before then -- there was nothing he did or said that was not open to criticism. After all, he had never held public office before and had no experience in government. A similar criticism was applied to his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.An online post on The National Review in 2020 called Kushner...

Jimmy Carter twists words of UNSC 242 in NYT op-ed

Jimmy Carter wrote yet another tendentious op-ed for, who else, the New York Times. The first paragraphs show yet again that he is simply a liar. We do not yet know the policy of the next administration toward Israel and Palestine, but we do know the policy of this administration. It has been President Obama’s aim to support a negotiated end to the conflict based on two...

No one showed up to protest Carter at Cardozo. No one.

Not one single protester showed up to Cardozo to express outrage that Jimmy Carter was receiving an award. A few disappointed counter-protesters were there, however, with nothing to counter-protest: There was a small crowd of reporters and curious students there as well. Meanwhile, other Jewish organizations expressed their outrage. Too bad they couldn't actually send...

The story made The New York Times: When editors of The Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution, a scholarly publication from the Benjamin N. Cardozo Law School, decided to bestow this year’s International Advocate for Peace award on former President Jimmy Carter, they sought to honor his decades as a mediator and humanitarian. But in the process, they ignited a sizable conflict...

Posters for Jimmy Carter protests at Cardozo

If anyone who plans to protest needs a poster...there's a Kinko's at Union Square. If you don't know what a Gharqad tree is, you need to read the Hamas charter...

In February, 1982, Syria's president Hafez al-Assad murdered between 30-40,000 people in the city of Hama. A year later, in March 1983, Jimmy Carter referred to the mass murderer as "a close personal friend" who he has a "special relationship" with. He expressed the hope that if Assad would come to the negotiating table, he could be on the same side as the Egyptians, Palestinians,...

Video: Jimmy Carter blowing off Noam Shalit in 2010

I had never seen this before. What a humanitarian, huh? (h/t Laur...

After being pretty much my own story for days, this is finally getting some legs: YU issued a fairly predictable statement: ...President Carter’s presence at Cardozo in no way represents a university position on his views, nor does it indicate the slightest change in our steadfastly pro-Israel stance. That said, Yeshiva University both celebrates and takes seriously...
