Did anyone notice that 11 Brandeis students took up Jimmy Carter’s challenge to ““visit the occupied territories for a few days to determine whether I have exaggerated or incorrectly described the plight of the Palestinians?” To top it off, Carter reportedly picked up a large chunk of the trip’s $28,500 cost.
The students’ itinerary was published in the Brandeis “community ne
wspaper,” The Hoot: “The delegation spent their first three days in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, where they toured Mt. Zion, the Jewish Quarter, and the Armenian Quarter, and visited Brandeis’ sister school, Al-Quds University and its Center for Political Prisoners’ Affairs. Continuing through Bethlehem, Hebron, Mas’ha, and Ramallah, the delegates then slept with host families in the Deheisheh refugee camp and met with Palestinian Authority presidential runner-up Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, Amal Jadou, the U.S. foreign policy advisor to PA president Mahmoud Abbas, and Omar Barghouti and Jamal Juma, both involved in the Palestinian boycott/divestment campaign. The trip concluded with a two-day stay in Neve Shalom, a mixed Jewish-Arab border community called the ‘Oasis of Peace.’”
Carter’s Center is known as the recipient of millions of dollars from the governments of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Oman and from several prominent Arab leaders, foundations and families, including the “Saudi BinLadin Group.” Did Carter really shell out for the trip, or did he ask one of Saudi buddies to spill out some pocket change?
Carter’s Church Preachings against the Pharisees, Israelis, Jews and Israelites
Carter’s infamous book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid generated widespread debate on whether Carter was an anti-Semite. His anti-Semitism and anti-Israel credentials are now proven in the recently released CD audio series Sunday Mornings in Plains: Bible Study with Jimmy Carter. Published by Simon and Schuster, the CD records Bible lessons over the last 10 years. In a S & S video promo, Carter explains that his lessons relate current events to the Bible.
The following is a recent press report with Carter’s quotes:
“So with impunity, and approved by the Pharisaic law, they [the Pharisees] could avoid taking care of their needy parents by a trick that had been evolved by the incorrect and improper interpretation of the law primarily designed by religious leaders to benefit whom? The rich folks. The powerful people.”
During another Bible lesson Carter discussed the Jewish attitude toward non-Jews. “[‘Uncircumcised’] was an epithet, a highly discriminatory phrase… How would you characterize from a Jew’s point of view the uncircumcised? Non-believer. And what? Unclean. What? They called them dogs, that’s true.”
Michael Miller, a former activist for the Anti Missionary Institute, found that at times Carter actually conflates ancient and modern Jewish history by mistakenly calling Israelites Israelis or Judea Israel. In one example, Carter says, “God would save the Israelites, they would sign a firm commitment or contract or covenant. The Israelis would what? Violate the covenant, break their promises to God. They would be punished.”
