Drop Dead Jimmy Carter By Irwin N. Graulich January 4, 2010 http://www.michnews.com/Guest_Commentary/ig010410.shtml Sorry Mr. President--I just don't forgive you. How dare you think you can demonize one of the most moral nations in history--and get away with your crimes. How dare you blame Jews for your pathetic world view, which gave credibility to the most evil characters on the face of the planet. Your apology is worthless. President Jimmy Carter will undoubtedly be known as the worst president in American history. He allowed the Shah of Iran to fall and the evil Khomeni to gain power, giving Muslim extremism the fuel to spread like cancer throughout the world--ultimately leading to 9/11. His presidency was a true calamity from interest rates skyrocketing to 21.5% to the disastrous rescue attempt of the US embassy hostages, to the Carter "malaise" he created throughout America. A total catastrophe and tragedy would sum up the Carter administration at its best. I mean, a born and bred true Polish anti- western antisemite in the tradition of those who aided the Nazis, actually became his National Security Advisor---Zbigniew Brzezinski. Carter's cute little "al chayt" prayer of forgiveness is as impressive as Jeffrrey Dahmer's apology cries. The ex-President finally realizes what a total putz he is--so what? "We must not permit criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel," Carter wrote recently. Please Jimmy, save those platitudes for your wife. You cannot write books filled with outright lies about Israel and Jews, going on lecture tours and media interviews--fraudulently accusing Israel of apartheid, occupation, war crimes, terrorism, obstacles to peace, targeting innocents and other despicable labels. And then you beg for forgiveness? I mean is that a joke Jimmy boy? Ex-President Carter recently met with Hamas--the modern day version of the Nazis. Chamberlain redux? No, Carter is much, much worse. What Jimmy Carter has done is join the list of well known historical antisemites to create a new type of Jewish Blood Libel. With tremendous passion and foolishness, Carter pretty much alone gave credibility to the "Israel Blood Libel," which propagated throughout mainstream Western democracies, especially in Europe, to falsely accuse Israel and Jews of using Arab/Muslim blood to expand Israel's territory. In a similar vein to his fellow antisemites throughout history, Carter focused on the blood of children in Gaza and the West Bank, as if Israel purposely targeted non Jewish children to explain their horrific deaths. The fact that terrorists stationed their weapons and missiles in schools was totally irrelevant to the Jimmy Carter immoral psyche. These Jewish Libel accusations by someone who was an ex-president of the United States gave instant credibility to the lies coming out of the Arab and Muslim world. The original Jewish Blood Libel gave rise to attacks on Jews from the first century through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, right up until the Nazi era. It was pretty much Jimmy Carter who created the modern day scenario which spurred attacks on Jews in France, England, Spain, Belgium, Mumbai, and many other countries. It was obvious to Jews throughout history that the Jewish Blood Libel was all based on lies because the Jewish Bible, the Torah contains many specific laws against using blood in any way--even animal blood. This same Bible is filled with laws pertaining to the sin of harming innocents. Therefore, this concept of being extremely sensitive to hurting innocent people has become dominant in the Jewish psyche and behavior. Thus, when Palestinians, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, et al all accuse Israel of purposely targeting innocents, Jews worldwide know that this Jew Hatred is based on pure lies. However, as we know about lies, if it is repeated often enough, people, especially Europeans and the Left begin to a believe it as a fact. That is the tragedy facing both America and Israel today--the 2 most moral nations of modernity. Is there a nation in the history of the world, who during a war instigated against it, actually dropped brochures, made phone calls and sent emails warning innocent civilians to leave an area that was going to be attacked? Only Israel has cared so much for "the lives" of innocent people, even people who hate it and wish it destroyed. However, due to Carter's Christian faith, he actually believes that all Jews should and will actually forgive him, showing a major difference between Judaism and Christianity about sin and forgiveness. Since Jesus' death atones for the sins of those who have faith in Him, Carter mistakenly thinks that all Jews will ultimately forgive him and move on. However, only non-Jewish Jews like Abe Foxman of the ADL, who have almost no knowledge of Judaism, will forgive Carter for his massive evil. According to Judaism, God Himself cannot forgive anyone for sins against another person. The only way that Carter can actually be forgiven, would be to go to every Jew worldwide and ask for forgiveness--not make his blanket empty announcement, because his grandson is running for office in a Jewish district in Georgia. What is ironic about Carter is that he has committed the same "libel accusations" on America, creating the American Blood Libel. Carter's comments over the last decade have included the rhetoric that "America is a torturer at Abu Ghraib, has performed criminal acts by water boarding in Guatanamo, we're occupiers in Iraq and colonialists, we attack Arab countries for Halliburton or for oil," etc. etc. Some day we can all expect an empty Carter apology to America. So for the damage that Jimmy Carter has caused to both Israel and America, I do not forgive him and neither do many millions of other Jews or Americans. The best I can do for one of the most horrific American men of the past 3 decades is say, "Drop Dead Jimmy Carter," and then you can ask your maker for forgiveness. Copyright by Irwin N.
