CARTER and His Magical Mystery Tour

OPINION

I just wanted to say a Happy Pessach , Hag Shamach to people around the world. This week we are graced or cursed to have our old friend Ex President Carter traveling around Israel and talking to members of HAMAS. In honor of the president who brought you the birth of Islamic fundamentalism through his mishandling of the 1979 Iran Hostage Crises and the Fall of the SHAH. I decided to reprint this article From August 2007 about Mr. Carter and his Carter Center of Peace receiving donations from some governments and people that might want to change American foreign Policy.

God’s Warriors Former President Jimmy Carter Speaks

Last night I saw the first part of God’s Warriors on CNN presented by Christine Amanpour. I had a feeling that this was going to be anti Israel and I was right. I listen to Ex President Carter and I emphasis Ex speak on how bad the settlements are and they are basically the root of all the problems in the Middle East. Coming on the heels of his widely in my opinion Anti Israel book “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid” I was not surprised on the anti Israel rhetoric during the interview. I was however very angry at him blaming Israel for all the problems of the Middle East and the way that CNN proclaimed him as an expert.

Must I remind CNN that Ex President Carter was partially responsible for rise of Islamic Radicalism by failing to retaliate against Iran for the taking of the 50 American Hostages in 1979, and failing to support the Shah of Iran forcing him into exile.

What is Ex President Carter’s motivation? Why is he so Anti Israel. Quite honestly I have no idea. But a couple of interesting facts come to mind. The Carter Center that the ex president runs is a organization that was formed to promote conflict resolution. A noble gesture, however a quick look at some major contributors came up with some surprises. Below is a link to the report look also at page 37.

Partial List of Donors

Bakr M. Bin laden of the Bin Laden Group Yes that Osama Bin Laden's Family

Kingdom of Saudia Arabia

Suadi Fund for Development

Goverment of the United Arab Emirates

Sultanate of Oman

"His Royal Higness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Abdulaziz Al Saud Fund"

Now I am not going to speculate here and it’s just a opinion but I wonder if there is not some motivation for the Anti Israel stance, maybe some influence from some of these contributors. Just a curious point I wanted to point out this coincidence, a coincidence that cannot be ignored. I wonder why this fact was not investigated by CNN during the Gods Warriors special?
