Ex-President Jimmy Carter has recently asked Jews
for forgiveness.
Among his other sources of conflict with members of
the Tribe are his persistently, one-sided takes on
Arab-Israeli issues culminating in his book equating
Israel with the former apartheid regime of South
Africa.
Carter claims that the fact that his grandson is now
running for office in their home state of Georgia
has nothing to do with his apology. He states that
Jews only make up 2% of the county where his
grandson lives--about the same percent that Jews
make up in the nation at large--and so uses this as
further evidence of the integrity of his intentions.
Hogwash!
Now, before I go any further, let me say that I
voted for Carter in the '70s.
I liked his approach to environmental concerns. I
believed that, given the way man has trashed this
planet, any further mistakes--if they had to be
made--needed to be on the side of caution and sane
conservation.
For a number of reasons--especially after the Iran
fiasco--I soon came to regret my decision.
I'll never forget watching the Democrat National
Convention on television a while back, and watching
Carter chasing after that other hero of the Arabs,
general anti-Semites, and the ultra left.
Yes, there was Mr. "Apartheid Israel" kissing the
derriere of his Hollywood producer comrade, Michael
"Israel is one of the three top evils in the world"
Moore.
Birds of a feather, peas of the same pod, and so
forth.
Like other Gentile politicos, the Democrat, Carter,
has received millions of dollars from Arabs for his
help in demonizing Israel and Jews. Ex-Secretary of
State James f_ _ _ the Jews, they don't vote for us
anyway Baker III, a Republican, is his worthy
counterpart. Both have plenty of company. |

Arab-Israeli Conflict in Greater Perspective. by

Well, I have a way
Jimmy can put this all to rest...sort of.
Since he is a man of the world whose books do indeed
reach millions and influence world opinion, I have a
new assignment for him--one which he should not have
had me have to assign to him.
After all, for decades now, if Israel took one too
many breaths, he was there to investigate,
criticize, and dissect it under the high power lens
of moral scrutiny. Most often, his critiques were
given little or no context whatsoever. Jewish
victims were constantly blamed themselves when
issues such as blown buses, checkpoints, the
security barrier, and such were discussed.
Constantly, Arabs were given a virtual free pass in
Carter's assessments.
While constantly indulging in such hypocrisy, Carter
acted deaf, dumb, and blind regarding what was
happening in the region surrounding the nation of
the Jews--his perpetually favorite target.
So, since he couldn't figure out that he needed to
do this himself, here's his assignment. If he
completes it, his words of apology to Jews might
gain some credibility.
Jimmy, your first task is to travel to re-visit your
friend, Bashar al-Assad, the butcher of Damascus and
author of the "Hama Solution's" son, in Syria.
I'm sure that the last time you guys met, the word
"Kurd" never left your lips...while you were
discussing mutual disgust regarding the nation of
the Jews.
So, since you worry so much about Arab rights and
conditions--which are harmed precisely because they
want that tiny, sole nation of the Jews dead--you
must now, at long last, demand that "Arab" Syria
stop murdering and subjugating its millions of
Kurds. The latter are not even allowed to speak
their own language, have been forcibly Arabized for
decades--yet I don't recall a peep about their
plight ever being uttered from your lips. Only
America's toppling of Saddam changed things for the
better for "Arab" Iraq's millions of Kurds. Again,www.ekurd.netnot
a peep out of you about them, nor concern over their
brethren in the Turkish and Iranian portions of
Kurdistan either...some thirty five million
perpetually used and abused stateless people. Why
hasn't their plight caught your attention?
The second part of your assignment will take you to
"Arab" North Africa.
Since you are allegedly so concerned about human
rights, you will finally have to break your
troubling silence about the plight of another truly
stateless people (Arabs have almost two dozen
states; "Palestinians"--no matter how you define
them--are Arabs), the thirty million or so Imazhigen/Berbers,
who predate their Arab conquerors by millennia and
who, like the Kurds, have had their own language and
culture outlawed by Arabs and who have been murdered
if they have resisted. All of these things are
happening in the here and now. Amazigh parents being
told they must name their children with Arab names
and other such goodies.
Why the silence?
If this was Israel doing one tenth of this , you'd
be writing another book about those nasty Jews.
Okay, moving on.
Your next assignment has you moving just a bit south
and east into the Sudan.
While Darfur in the west has been making the news of
late, the forced Arabization of the south by the
north has been going on for centuries and exploded
once again in the '60s.
Where has Carter been while this Arab enslavement,
genocide, and such against black Africans (and not
only in the Sudan) has been going on? And, unlike
the most of the south, the blacks in Darfur are also
Muslims...so, this goes beyond a religious jihad and
truly involves Arab racism, pure and simple. Many
quotes from black victims have testified to this.
And where has he been when millions of native Copts
in "Arab" Egypt suffered this same subjugation,
intimidation, Arabization, murder, and such? Or
regarding the plight of the Middle East's native
Jews-- those whom Arabs call "their" kilab yahud...Jew
Dogs. One half of Israel consists of such Jews from
"Arab" lands...the other half of the refugee problem
Carter doesn't seem to know or care about.
Alright...it's time to bring this to an end.
So, here's the deal, Mr. Carter...
Write your book and give your speeches and write
your articles taking Arabs to task for the crimes
they have committed against everyone else in the
region besides themselves--real crimes, not measures
Israel has been forced to take to merely survive
Arab slaughter--and those Jews who care (many don't,
so they will support you right now) will take you
seriously.
My new book gets into all of this head on. Please
