Even as Islamic Hitlerites gather in Iran to deny the first Holocaust of the Jews and to plot the second, former president Jimmy Carter tours America with a new book that describes Jews as racists and oppressors, and suggests they are also a conspiratorial mafia that intimidates “critics,” controls America’s media and war policy, and are therefore also the source of Islamic terrorism and the Arabs’ genocidal campaign to eliminate them from the map of the Middle East.
In other words, Americans beware of the Jew in your midst.
Here is Carter’s description of the Middle East conflict in his own words, delivered during an interview he gave on National Public Radio during the second day of the Holocaust deniers’ conference in Teheran:
“I have spent a lot of time in Palestine in recent years. … The Palestinians have had their own land, first of all, occupied and then confiscated and then colonized. They’ve been excluded from their own gardens and fields, and pastures and churches. They have been severely restrained in their movements. They have to have different kinds of passes to go through different checkpoints inside their own lands on their own roads. The Israelis have built more than 200 settlements inside Palestine.They connect these settlements with very nice roads for the Israeli settlers, and then superhighways and so forth going into Jerusalem. Quite often the Palestinians are prevented from even riding on those roads that have been built in their own territory. So this has been in many ways worse than it was in South Africa.”
When hundreds of millions of Muslims are calling for the extermination of the Jews of Israel this is more than a lie; it is a blood libel.
It is a lie that Palestinians “had their own land, first of all, occupied.” This is like saying that Texans had their own land occupied by Hispanics, ignoring the fact that Hispanics were there first. The very word Palestine is a Roman appellation for the people called Philistines, who were not Arabs but red-haired sailors from the Aegean. The Jews were there as well.
In short, first of all the Jews were in the land before the Arabs.
Second of all, the Arabs who inhabited the Palestine Mandate in 1948, at the time of the creation the state of Israel, considered themselves Syrians.
Third, the Palestine Mandate was not created on land taken from the Syrians or the Arabs. It was taken from the Turks.
It was not taken from the Turks by the Jews, but by the British and the French. They took it because Turkey sided with Germany in the First World War and, of course, lost. The Turkish empire had ruled the entire region including Syrian, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan for four hundred years before Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan were artificially created by the English and the French. Jordan – a state whose majority is Palestinian – occupies 80% of the Palestine Mandate.
So it is a preposterous lie to say that the Palestinians had their own land and that it was occupied by the Jews.
Fourth, the individual plots of land that Jews now own were in the first instance bought from the Arabs who regarded themselves as Syrians and who lived in the area of Israel. The only property that was confiscated was confiscated as a spoil of the aggressive war that five Arab states waged against Israel from the day of its birth. Five Arab armies invaded Israel, a sovereign state, with the declared intent of “pushing the Jews into the sea.” The cry today of the Muslim majority in the Middle East is to “liberate Palestine from the river to the sea.” In other words push the Jews into the sea.
By the standards of occupation and legitimacy Jimmy Carter invokes, Israel has more legitimacy as a Jewish state than Texas does as an American state, rather than a Mexican province.
The fifth Jimmy Carter lie in this lone Jimmy Carter sentence is the claim that the Jews have colonized anything. “The Israelis have built more than 200 settlements inside Palestine.”
Why is it wrong of the Jews to live in the West Bank? (The 7000 Jews of Gaza, of course, have already been expunged as result of the Arabs’ genocidal hate.) Why can’t Jews have settlements in the West Bank?
The answer is because the Palestinians Arabs are filled with a racist and theocratic hate towards the Jews. They can’t tolerate a non-Muslim, non-Arab people –however small a minority — living in their midst. (The 7000 Jews of Gaza – out of a population of 1.2 million – were law-abiding and peaceful and created a horticultural industry that produced ten percent of Gaza’s gross national product. But they were Jews. And that was intolerable to Palestine’s Nazis. So they had to be removed.)
Contrast Carter’s attack on Jews living in the West bank as “colonizers” who must be expelled with the fact that more than a million Arabs live in Israel, where Israel provides them with more rights – including the right to vote and elect Arab members of Israel’s government – than any Arab who lives in any Arab state in the Middle East.
There is indeed a wall now between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. But it is not a wall to keep Arabs out of Israel because they are Arab, as Carter maliciously maintains. There are more than a million Arabs living in Israel. There are indeed checkpoints in the West Bank and into Israel and obstacles to Palestinians crossing them. But this is not because the Israelis discriminate against Palestinians because they are Muslims or Arabs.
It is because too many Palestinians have shown themselves to be bloodthirsty, murderers who have been indoctrinated by their religious leaders and their government to believe in a sick Islamic fantasy that it is their Muslim duty to kill Jews by blowing themselves up; and that, if they do so, they will go to heaven along with 70 members of their family; and, that, if they are lucky enough to be male they will be rewarded by 72 virgins on the other side.
On this side they will be regarded as martyrs and saints and honored by their government. Sixty-percent of Palestinians support suicide bombing and this sick, genocidal agenda – which is shared by all members of the Palestinians’ democratically elected government – to kill the Jews.
To ignore these facts and to invert them, as Jimmy Carter does, is to mark yourself as a moral defective.
To take on as a mission the spreading of lies that enable Islamic Nazis to carry out their final solution is the epitome of the evil that America’s fifth column left and its reprehensible ex-President represent in our time.
The truth hurts if you are a slimy jew.
Carter is correct and the jews days controlling the USA are almost over.
The winds of rightous change are blowing.
Hi Scott,
I have good news for you!
First, I don’t know where your hatred comes from (other than Satan).
The good news is Jesus died for your sins, including the hatred of Jewish people, and through His death, burial, and resurrection you can be forgiven.
All you need to do is recognize your sin sgainst a holy God, believe Jesus died for your sins and rose from the grave, and receive Him as your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-13).
When you do that you will be forgiven of your sins, have a home in heaven waiting for you, and will have a changed life here on earth (2 Cor. 5:17). The changed life will give you a love for all people, as God has a love for all people.
If you reject Jesus the eternal lake of fire awaits you (Rev. 20:15).

I don’t blame Jewish people, I blame the government of Israel, they are their own worst enemy.
How sad that the Jew haters come out.
Jimmy Carter is afraid to debate. He lied about being invited to a debate. He could not hold his own in a debate. Instead he issues libels using the prestige of his former office to issue his libels.
He is a classic Jew hater. Sorry, this name calling “slimey” that the gentleman above uses, is not helpful.
Jimmy Carter should in no wise be considered a Christian. His actions are contrary to all of Holy Scripture. He is an abortion promoting, homosexual promoting, hater of Jews, certainly NOT a follower of Christ Jesus, The King of The Jews.
The completely irrational and totally unmerited hatred of Jews is obviously inspired by Satan and his minions of evil demons. There is not any other possibly explanation for the immense increase of the hatred of Jews in recent times. The Jews truly are God’s chosen people and thereby the target of evil inspired hatred.
Soon the world’s nations will march against Israel, but Almighty God will rescue them. The evil people of the world will be destroyed. All of this hatred of God’s chosen people, the Jews, is a sign that the end of this age is coming very soon and shows that all that is written in The Holy Bible is true. The LORD bless Israel. Come quickly LORD Jesus, come.
Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated? Carter may not have been the best politician, but he was an honest, philanthropic, Christian man. Despite his shortcomings in finding the right words, he was one of the United States’ most intelligent presidents. He spent more time crafting methods of alternative energy sources and peace treaties between Middle Eastern countries than coming up with deceptive words to hide the truth from the American people. Nowhere in his description of how the situation was in Palestine did he say anything about hating Jews or supporting genocide. He simply disagrees with their methods of national security. I’m currently a high school student and maybe I don’t know enough to say anything, but I’ve been studying US History all year and so far, Jimmy Carter is one of my favorite presidents.
Do you guys know the differences among Jews? Did you know there are secular Jews? Do you know the difference between Jewish people and Zionists? You should inform yourselves and come to understand so you can respect people as human beings.
Shalom Tim,
Having grown up in a secular Jewish home, celebrating only the major Jewish holidays, studying Jewish culture, history, and Bible for close to 40 years, I am fairly conversant with all streams of Judaism and the Jewish people.
For example, Reform Judaism started in Germany in the 1790s but took root and blossomed in the early 1800s in the US. Reform Judaism was started in objection to the strictures of Orthodox Judaism which was the only Judaism until Reform (although many forms of Orthodox Judaism were available). In the 1880s, Rabbi Solomon Schechter started Conservative Judaism believing Reform Judaism has essentially “thrown out the baby with the bath water.” In the 1920s Reconstruction Judaism was started.
One does not have to be Jewish to be a Zionist. I know many Gentile Christians who are Zionists. William Blackstone was a Gentile Christian minister in the late 1800s who had a love for Israel, was a Zionist, and was a player in moving the powers to be toward the first Zionist Congress and ultimately the establishment of Israel.
So, where do I need to inform myself? Also, what makes you think I don’t respect people as human beings (although this is a nonsensical statement)?
Let me ask you a question? Who does the Jewish prophet speak about in Isaiah 53?
In Messiah,
