Tinti’s got it. This is a proxy scandal, of course. It’s genuine malfeasance if true and deserves to be exposed, but our glee in reporting it derives less from the fact that he got caught ripping someone off than that it leaves a black mark on a book with an anti-Israel agenda. Which it deserves. Here’s Carter’s op-ed in the LA Times today about the “apartheid” in Palestine; in a vast sea of anti-semitism, religious intolerance, and violent incitement, Jimmy Carter’s eyes find themselves returning again and again to the poor babes who elected a genocidal goverment earlier this year. Scum:
The book describes the abominable oppression and persecution in the occupied Palestinian territories, with a rigid system of required passes and strict segregation between Palestine’s citizens and Jewish settlers in the West Bank. An enormous imprisonment wall is now under construction, snaking through what is left of Palestine to encompass more and more land for Israeli settlers. In many ways, this is more oppressive than what blacks lived under in South Africa during apartheid. I have made it clear that the motivation is not racism but the desire of a minority of Israelis to confiscate and colonize choice sites in Palestine, and then to forcefully suppress any objections from the displaced citizens. Obviously, I condemn any acts of terrorism or violence against innocent civilians, and I present information about the terrible casualties on both sides.
Dershowitz should challenge him to debate the issue in the Saudi Arabian synagogue of his choice.
The Wiesenthal Center has posted a petition addressed to Carter. Meanwhile, the prime minister of Palestine promised Iran today that Hamas will never, ever recognize Israel.

Good one, Allah.
But the problem is that ripping off Ross’s maps is a minor crime in the context of this horrendous book.

Heh. Apartheid.
Another in the long list of things Jimmy Carter, while president, did nothing effective about but ca’t stop talking about to save his own life.

Saudi Arabian synagogue….HA, good one!

If I ever said or created something that Jimmy Carter thought it worth plagarizing, I’d probably keep very quiet about it.

I wish they would give the complete truth. Palestinian Christians have no problem living in and with Israeli’s. They are productive and peacful. It is the radical Palestinian’s that need to be caged.
The Palestinian Christians have never commited an act of terrorism against Israel.

heh.
… that synagogue is over on 123 Pluralism Street; Mecca, Saudia Arabia.
… just across the street from the Baptists and around the corner from the Catholic cathedral.
… you know, down by that new bikini shop.

I followed the link to the Wiesenthal center to send a letter to Carter. After I had edited the letter to say “Dear President Deushbag, F!@# you, you lying anti-semetic deushbag. Why can’t you just stick to building houses instead of licking the anuses of every tinpot dictator in the world. Oh by the way F!@# you.” In the end I thought better of sending it. Besides it not like he would actually listen to a Jew that likes Israel.
God Carter really pushes my buttons.

“Choice sites?” One would think the Israelis are just after the areas with the nicer views, maybe to put up some ritzy condos. But I seem to recall that those to whom these sites were viewed as most “choice” were actually the belligerent Arab states that used them as launching-off points for their repeated attempts at armed exterminations of the Israeli people.
The only thing “choice” about territories seething with unhappy Arab civilians and terrorists is that they at least aren’t also seething with columns of Syrian and Egyptian tanks.

I think the better letter to Wiesenthal Center might be a suggestion to go get some sympathy for their anguish from the politicians that they vote for.

That constipated old man ought to be opressed.
Hilts on December 8, 2006 at 3:07 PM
Carter’s entire Presidency was plagiarized!

I thank God everyday that the United States still stands after that debacle that was the Carter administration.

Carter is a generic old man.
Wade on December 8, 2006 at 7:10 PM
I’d have to disagree with that one. Mr. Peanut’s Presidency was uniquely pathetic.
“Saudi Arabian Synagogue!” Is that like “Carter’s Presidential Demeanor?”

Carter is a senile old man, and none of his people will tell him to STFU. For real class, look at what Ronald Reagan did when he knew he had a problem.
I guess the difference is that Carter has been delusional his whole pitiful life.

“Firstly, I think I’m big” — Mr.
BeanCarterSo many Presidents, including this one, haven’t focused enough to try to resolve the Middle East Conflict and then spend the rest of their ’sane’ (debatable for this subject) lives to make up.
Also, it’s likely that this conflict will never be solved, unfortunately for all of us.

With any luck the bunny will get him this time.
