Jimmy Carter's hatred and enmity toward the Jewish people, as well as his active support of terrorist groups who are dedicated to destroying Israel has always been at complete odds with his claim to be a Christian follower of Jesus and a Sunday School teacher.

Jimmy Carter Center Sued For Providing Taxpayer Support To Hamas

By Robert Spencer
Published on: April 28, 2018

Jimmy Carter’s unstinting hatred for Israel has paved the way for a lawsuit filed against his nonprofit taxpayer funded Carter Center.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Monday that the Z*****t Advocacy Center is alleging in a suit that former President Jimmy Carter’s nonprofit organization, the Carter Center, “has used taxpayer funding to provide material support to international terrorist groups, including Hamas.” Given Carter’s longstanding and abundantly established hatred for the Jewish state, this allegation is no great shock. Nonetheless, the specter of an American President’s foundation funding a jihad terrorist group demonstrates how far we have fallen.

The Z*****t Advocacy Center further alleges that the Carter Center “received more than $30 million in taxpayer grants while violating federal statutes barring it from using the cash to provide material support to terror groups.” Not only that: “The plaintiffs maintain the Carter Center has violated the law by hosting designated terrorists at is facilities, as well as by providing various forms of assistance to the Palestinian terror group Hamas and other known terror entities.”

No one who has watched Carter over the years can really be surprised. Back in 2008, Carter claimed that Hamas was prepared to accept the right of Israel to “live as a neighbor next door in peace.” He had no grounds for saying so, and it wasn’t remotely true, but this claim helped him perpetuate the fiction that the Israelis, not the Palestinians, were responsible for the failure of all peace talks and the ongoing tensions between the two.

Two years before that, Carter published the notorious book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, in which he ignored the jihad imperative to destroy Israel, and the numerous maximalist and even genocidal declarations from Palestinian leaders, and painted an outrageous fantasy of a peaceful Palestinian people, ennobled by suffering and besieged by a rapacious Israeli war machine that was imposing apartheid policies in the name of a false need for security.

In a review in the Huffington Post (of all places), Alan Dershowitz eviscerated Carter’s book, pointing out that in order to make his case, Carter not only had to ignore and misrepresent present-day realities, but rewrite history as well:

Carter repeatedly claims that the Palestinians have long supported a two-state solution and the Israelis have always opposed it. Yet he makes no mention of the fact that in 1938 the Peel Commission proposed a two-state solution with Israel receiving a mere sliver of its ancient homeland and the Palestinians receiving the bulk of the land. The Jews accepted and the Palestinians rejected this proposal, because Arab leaders cared more about there being no Jewish state on Muslim holy land than about having a Palestinian state of their own.

He barely mentions Israel’s acceptance, and the Palestinian rejection, of the U.N.’s division of the mandate in 1948.

He claims that in 1967 Israel launched a preemptive attack against Jordan. The fact is that Jordan attacked Israel first, Israel tried desperately to persuade Jordan to remain out of the war, and Israel counterattacked after the Jordanian army surrounded Jerusalem, firing missiles into the center of the city. Only then did Israel capture the West Bank, which it was willing to return in exchange for peace and recognition from Jordan.

Carter repeatedly mentions Security Council Resolution 242, which called for return of captured territories in exchange for peace, recognition and secure boundaries, but he ignores the fact that Israel accepted and all the Arab nations and the Palestinians rejected this resolution. The Arabs met in Khartum and issued their three famous “no’s”: “No peace, no recognition, no negotiation” but you wouldn’t know that from reading the history according to Carter.

Many find it odd that the renowned architect of the Camp David Accords would stoop to all this; but it must be remembered that at Camp David, Israel gave up a great deal in exchange for little more than promises – promises that have been repeatedly broken. Jimmy Carter’s record of hostility toward the Jewish state spans his entire career. He has never publicly recognized that it faces the same jihad foes that attacked America on September 11, 2001, and counsels policies of appeasement and accommodation that, if fully implemented, would only embolden the jihadis and further weaken Israel.

And so that now it is being claimed in a court case that the Carter Center has been aiding Hamas. Longtime Jimmy Carter watchers can only agree: of course he has.

This world would be much better off if Carter and McCain would just go meet their maker.

As usual Robert Spencer is right on target. Thank you for posting this.

I hesitated, NPP, as I thought it might be old news, but Jimmy Carter has earned all the t***hful exposes' we can possibly provide him.

He has caused the United States tremendous loss of life, property, money and peace of mind by being an abject coward during 1979, the year the Iranians besieged our Embassy in Iran, and took the entire staff hostage.

He could have stopped the Iranian aggression against us then. Had Ayatollah Khomeini's "revolution" been brought to a screeching halt at that time, it would have prevented them murdering hundreds of our servicemen in Iraq and in Afghanistan in the years since, through their own Revolutionary Guard, and through training and equipping Shi'ite m*****as.

Many of our men would be alive today.

Instead, for forty years, we have endured videos of the Iranian so-called parliament chanting "Death to America," while our imbecilic media mumbles, "well, I wonder what they really mean by that?"

It's really a great shame Jimmy Carter didn't stick to growing peanuts.

He was pretty good at building affordable housing, at least according to the "progressives" However there were numerous complaints that he stuck around only long enough to get the photographer to take pictures. That doesn't surprise me, after all he was a politician wasn't he.
