GQ is supposed to be about men’s fashion or something, but today the Left is politicizing everything everywhere, and so GQ is indulging in some fulsome nostalgia for this superannuated anti-Semite. Back in 2008, Carter claimed that Hamas was prepared to accept the right of Israel to “live as a neighbor next door in peace.” […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Carter Center Sued for Providing Support to Hamas
Jimmy Carter’s unstinting hatred for Israel paved the way. My latest in FrontPage: The Washington Free Beacon reported Monday that the Zionist 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 […]
Carter Center sued for providing support to Hamas, defrauding taxpayers
Jimmy Carter’s unswerving and consistent hatred for Israel paved the way for this. “Carter Center Sued for Providing Support to Terrorists, Defrauding Taxpayers,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, April 23, 2018: The Trump administration is seeking the dismissal of a suit alleging the nonprofit helmed by former president Jimmy Carter has used taxpayer funding […]
Jimmy Carter, Lord Caradon, the Palestine Mandate, and U.N. Resolution 242 (Part III)
The real ”key words” of Resolution 242, as crafted mainly by Lord Caradon, are those about the need for “secure and defensible borders.” Carter doesn’t even mention this phrase, which Lord Caradon thought was the most important provision of the Resolution. For Carter surely knows that the pre-1967 lines he wants Israel to be forced […]
Jimmy Carter, Lord Caradon, the Palestine Mandate, and Resolution 242 (Part II)
Jimmy Carter treats a sentence from the non-binding preamble to Resolution 242 as if it were a binding part of the Resolution itself. He thinks that the phrase about the “inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war” applies to Israel, when examination of the Mandate for Palestine reveals that it is Jordan, not Israel, […]
Jimmy Carter, Lord Caradon, the Palestine Mandate, and U.N. Resolution 242 (Part I)
The glad news is that Jimmy Carter is again bringing peace to the Middle East, by saving Israel from itself, as he has tried so many times before, and without a moment to lose. He wants to make sure that the American government, while still under Obama, joins 137 other countries in recognizing a country […]
Jimmy Carter wants UN to impose a Palestinian state by fiat, with US recognition
In a cynical gesture repeated each year, the UN observes the “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” on Nov. 29, turning a positive anniversary into a pretext for Israel-bashing and antisemitism. Jimmy Carter has taken full advantage of this “cynical gesture,” going so far as to call on Obama to “recognize ‘Palestine’ before he […]
Iran propaganda video hits Obama for dissembling about ransom-for-hostages deal, crows about humiliating US
This is the propaganda video Iran released in February, humiliating the Obama administration and bragging about the hostage deal they made. It shows the cash, etc., and further exposes how Obama has been lying to the American people about this deal. Video thanks to our old friend Rebecca Bynum. Thanks to AMCT for providing the […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The Non-PC Reason Iran Lies to Obama and the West
Over at PJ Media I discuss Iran’s rationale for its ongoing and constant practice of deception: Newly declassified State Department cables revealed that, in January 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini sent a secret message to the Jimmy Carter White House. He promised that if Carter did not stand in the way of the mullahs taking power in […]
How Ayatollah Khomeini suckered Jimmy Carter
The Ayatollah Khomeini was using taqiyya in its classic sense. The concept of taqiyya as such is specifically Shi’ite, developed during the time of the sixth Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq, in middle of the eighth century, when the Shi’ites were being persecuted by the Sunni caliph al-Mansur. Taqiyya allowed Shi’ites to pretend to be Sunnis in […]
A Reversion to the Law of the Jungle
“What we today call the policy of appeasement was in fact the refusal on the part of the civilized leaders of France and England to abandon the politics of reason. They were sincerely convinced that by reasoning with Hitler, by making compromises with him, they could avoid the horrors of reversion to the law of […]
