Israel Pays the Jihad a Jiyza: it is Now Officilally a Dhimmi State – Atlas Shrugs

Now they are paying the jiyza to the Islamic (OIC) driven UN. To what end? For what? What are they buying? A five minute reprieve from the world’s most reviled and bloodthirsty bully?

So Sad, Too Bad: Egypt Thwarts Anti-Israel Americans’ Christmas Protest

Given that Palestinian Christians (and every other sort of Arab Christian) are under attack from the Muslims around them (as I detailed last week and do every Christmas), it’s kind of comical to read the story of Dorothy Ritter.

gosh I just love it when Debbie tells me these stories that have a happy ending

Israel-Hating Hags Dorothy Ritter & Kim Redigan Failed

Ritter, a Dearbornistan Christian “chick” (who looks like she has season tickets to the WNBA if ya know what I mean),

BAH WAH AH AH AH AHHA AHA!

…wasted her Christmas flying to the Gaza Strip to protest the “evil Zionist Israelis.” She went there not to protest the persecution, killings, bombings, and other violent attacks by Gaza Palestinian Muslims on Christians (which have driven almost all of the Palestinian Christians out of Gaza), but to protest Israel for “blockading” Gaza from getting terrorist supplies and reinforcements.

here is the proof that the people of Gaza are starving and suffering…

If the animals in Gaza actually dared to stop their violent attacks and murders of innocent civilians, they wouldn’t be blockaded. This is war. You don’t help your sworn enemies blow you up.

But the joke was on this brushcut-encrusted Ellen-Degeneres-in-twenty-years-look-alike. After wasting Christmas and flying halfway around the world, she was prevented from engaging in her silly “protest” by the Egyptians. Same for Dearbornistan Heights-based Kim Redigan, another brushcut idiot who spent Christmas trying to protest against Israel, but failed epically.

So sad, too bad. I hope the falafel was good. . . and I wish them a pleasant Flight 253 back to Detroit, or better yet, a delicious “lunch in Tul Karem,” before they leave for home.

I usually like to add something to these posts where I pretty much take another blog and reblog it, but I have nothing to add

other apologies I’d like to see Carter make

Jimmy Carter has consistently and falsely claimed that during the Camp David negotiations Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin agreed to a settlement freeze to last the duration of subsequent peace talks, and that Begin violated this unwritten agreement. via camera.org

For example, in an op-ed published in the Washington Post in 2000, Carter claimed:

Prime Minister Begin pledged that there would be no establishment of new settlements until after the final peace negotiations were completed. But later, under Likud pressure, he declined to honor this commitment, explaining that his presumption had been that all peace talks would be concluded within three months. (Washington Post, Nov. 26, 2000)

Carter makes a similar charge in his book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, though with some subtle differences:

Sadat always insisted that the first priority must be adherence to U.N. Resolution 242 and self-determination for the Palestinians, and everyone (perhaps excepting Begin) was convinced that these rights had been protected in the final document. All of us (including the prime minister) were also confident that the final terms of the treaty would be concluded within the three-month target time. Everyone knew that if Israel began building new settlements, the promise to grant the Palestinians “full autonomy,” with an equal or final voice in determining the ultimate status of the occupied territories, would be violated. Perhaps the most serious omission of the Camp David talks was the failure to clarify in writing Begin’s verbal promise concerning the settlement freeze during subsequent peace talks. (p. 50; emphasis added)

While the first passage implies that it was Begin’s expectation alone that the subsequent peace talks would be concluded within three months, the book passage indicates that all participants had that expectation. This contradiction aside, in both passages Carter clearly charges that Begin broke a promise to impose an open-ended settlement freeze.

Carter’s long standing claims about the settlement freeze have been accepted by other experienced Middle East observers. For example, in an otherwise quite hostile review of the book in the New York Times, Ethan Bronner, a former Middle East correspondent for the Boston Globe, wrote:

To see the narrowness of Carter’s perspective, it is worth returning to 1979, the year of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty that resulted from Carter’s Camp David mediation as president, a hugely significant accomplishment. Carter rightly accuses Menachem Begin, then Israel’s prime minister, of deception regarding the expansion of West Bank settlements. Begin promised to freeze the settlements. Not only did he not do so; he had no intention of doing so. (New York Times, Jan. 7, 2007)

But did Prime Minister Begin make such a promise to freeze the settlements, and then violate it? The answer is no he did not – Begin promised and delivered a three month freeze, and further, Jimmy Carter knows this.

Here’s the proof. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Camp David Accords, the Carter Center on Sept.17, 2003 held a symposium in Washington, DC. Participants included Mr. Carter, Samuel Lewis, who had been the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, William Quandt, who had been a staffer on the National Security Council, and Aharon Barak, who had been Israel’s Attorney General. Ambassador Lewis brought up the question of the settlement freeze, and Barak stated that he was in the relevant meeting, had been the only one taking notes, and that his notes showed that Begin had agreed only to a three month freeze. Off camera Carter is heard to state, “I don’t dispute that.” William Quandt then added that while he had not been in the meeting, Cyrus Vance, who had been, told him immediately afterwards that Begin had agreed to a three month freeze, but they hoped to get it lengthened the next day. Neither Carter, nor Barak, nor Quandt indicated that Begin had ever agreed to extend the freeze. Here’s the sequence from the symposium:

So, confronted with the evidence in 2003 Jimmy Carter admitted that Begin had agreed to only a three month settlement freeze, but now Carter revives his false charge that Begin violated a promise to impose an open-ended freeze.

In doing so, Jimmy Carter is once again violating his promise never to lie to the American people.

Carter: Grandson’s race not reason enough to apologize | JTA – Jewish & Israel News

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Jimmy Carter is asking the Jewish community for forgiveness — and insists it’s not simply because his grandson has decided to launch a political career with a run for the Georgia state Senate.

By Ron Kampeas · December 22, 2009

Jason Carter, 34, an Atlanta-area lawyer, is considering a run to fill a seat covering suburban DeKalb County should the incumbent, David Adelman, win confirmation as President Obama’s designated ambassador to Singapore.

The seat, which is university heavy — Emory, among others, is situated there — also has a substantial Jewish community.

oh noes… quick think of something. do you think an apology will work? Would Jesus Apologize?

The senior Carter outraged Jewish leaders with his book “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid,” and they strongly criticized the former U.S. president for what appeared to be his likening of Israel’s settlement practices to apartheid and seeming to place the brunt of the blame for a lack of peace on Israel.

well of course he had to apologize. we just got used to treating an X president like Pete Rose

On the subsequent book tour, Carter further enraged many Jews by intimating that the pro-Israel lobby inhibited an evenhanded U.S. policy.

would it be better if we just let you libel us?

Such bad blood could potentially translate into problems for Carter’s grandson as he considers launching a political career.

how Biblical. the son is responsible for the father. Collective punishment. no wonder Dhimmi Carter got scared

But in an interview with JTA, Carter insisted that ethnic electoral considerations were not reason enough to reach out to the Jewish community, although he did not outright deny that it was a factor.

ok… then detail what you did wrong Jimmy. the haters will only assume you are playing politics. go on Jimmy. the mike is yours right now

“Jason has a district, the number of Jewish voters in it is only 2 percent,” he said, chuckling.

yes but those Jews are too powerful ;^) …maybe it’s because they aren’t cowards like Jimmy

In a statement issued through his campaign manager, the younger Carter said the statement was not connected to his campaign.

so then explain what is going on with the family… and hey Carter exaplain why you didn’t speak out against Grandpa.

“While I was very happy to see my grandfather’s letter, it was completely unrelated to my campaign. The letter is a product of discussions with some of his friends in the Jewish community that have been going on for a long time.

it isn’t a discussion. it is your grandpa being a senile angry old man picking on victims. face it… the family history is full of weak leadership. Iran was Grandpa’s doing.

I, like many others, see this as a great step towards reconciliation,” Jason Carter said in the statement. “As for my campaign, I intend to reach out to all people in District 42 and work hard to earn their trust and their votes. Ultimately, this campaign will focus on the people of this district and the issues that a good advocate in the Georgia State Senate can affect, including fixing a broken transportation system, getting the economy moving again, and providing a first-class education to our kids.”

change the subject…. like the fact that your family defamed a people for defending themselves for a decade is second bannana. apology not accepted now.

It seemed clear, however, that Jason Carter saw the apology, issued earlier this month through JTA, as a means of outreach. The younger Carter has been trying for days to reach Liane Levetan, a former state senator and CEO of DeKalb County, and as soon as they connected Tuesday, he directed her to the JTA Web site to read the letter.

“I wanted to let Jason know that I really and truly understand his position that he loves his grandfather, but you can love someone and not agree with their points of view and actions in certain areas, and Israel is my area,” Levetan told JTA in an interview after her conversation with the younger Carter.

Levetan is one of 14 Jews who split with the Carter Center in 2006 after the publication of “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid.” The split with the center, which promotes peace and helps alleviate poverty, clearly pained her; she had known the Carters for years and had assisted Rosalynn Carter in expanding education for the mentally disabled when Carter was Georgia’s governor in the 1970s.

“I admire the Carter Center; Mrs. Carter did a lot of good things for women,” said Levetan, the daughter of Holocaust survivors. “But first I’m a Jew.”

again… the question remains. why didn’t the younger Carter speak out before? Is this leadership that he can’t speak out against senile family members?

Abraham Foxman, the Anti-Defamation League’s national director, said he was not disturbed that the former president’s reaching out to the Jewish community might have been triggered in part by his grandson’s political aspirations.

oh shut up Abe… you let this enabling crap go on as well.

“If it turns out that President Carter’s love for his grandson brought about an epiphany in his relationship with the Jewish people, that’s fine,” said Foxman, who has criticized Carter over his statements on Israel. “I don’t care what stimulated him to re-examine his bias toward the Jewish people. If it’s his grandson and his understanding that his grandson’s relations to the Jewish community will help him succeed — I don’t think we have the right to judge.”

In his interview with JTA, the elder Carter acknowledged that the negative impressions about his book and book tour had ruptured his relations with the Jewish community. Jewish friends, including Atlanta Rabbi Alvin Sugarman, prominent Atlanta lawyer Miles Alexander and Stuart Eizenstat, who was Carter’s chief White House domestic policy adviser, urged him to reach out to the Jews.

notice that Carter is only concerned with his power and not with the harm he has done. ABE WAKE UP!

He attempted to do so by arranging a talk at a synagogue or another Jewish venue, Carter told JTA, but was rebuffed. Hence he opted for the Christmas-Chanukah plea for forgiveness for any stigma he may have caused Israel.

maybe because you really aren’t apologizing Jimmy… just say what you did wrong. not the effect of it

“We must recognize Israel’s achievements under difficult circumstances, even as we strive in a positive way to help Israel continue to improve its relations with its Arab populations, but we must not permit criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel,” Carter wrote in his statement. “As I would have noted at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but which is appropriate at any time of the year, I offer an Al Het for any words or deeds of mine that may have done so.”

“Al Het” refers to the Yom Kippur prayer asking God forgiveness for sins committed against Him. In modern Hebrew it refers to any plea for forgiveness.

but you are a public figure Jimmy. it isn’t just between you and g-d. tell us what you said specifically that was damaging.

Asked what in particular he might have done to stigmatize Israel, Carter referred to the title of his book. The former president said that he had attempted to conflate into a single title his belief that Palestine, not Israel, should control the West Bank, and that apartheid, not peace, would prevail were that not to happen. Apartheid was a predictor, he said, not a description; such an outlook was not inconsistent with Israeli leaders and pro-Israel groups.

details… details… details Jimmy. what about the inside of the book? let’s go over what is really going on in Judea. why is Obama now attempting ethnic cleansing on Jews. why are Muslim settlements allowed while Jewish settlements are not allowed?

“I never intended or wanted to stigmatize the nation of Israel, even though I have disagreed with the settlement policy all the way back to the White House,” he said.

he lied back then too apparently because he libeled Israel back then too by claiming a settlement freeze would last longer then in did for the run up to the peace talks that didn’t lead to any peace for Israel. It just made it harder to blame a power like Egypt and turned it into Guerilla war. It was peace without the means to enforce any peace. worse then WAR!

This apology cum defense has frustrated Jewish leaders in the past. Carter seems overly focused on the title, they say, and does not deal with what they say are the book’s distortions.

yes… that is putting it mildly

While Carter remained focused on the title in the interview with JTA, he appeared to have internalized criticisms that he was one-sided and unfair to the pro-Israel lobby.

internalized? what does that mean? he’s lying again! he’s sorry he didn’t make a more distracting argument because he was too honest about his own Anti-Semitism. He’s only sorry that he was caught.

He said he was pessimistic about current peace prospects, partly because Israel continued to build settlements — but also because of the Palestinian leadership’s “recalcitrance” in insisting on a total settlement freeze and its rejection of Israel’s partial settlement freeze as sufficient grounds to restart talks.

how about the Muslim settlements Jimmy? Jerusalem was two thirds Jewish in 1948

“The Israelis have said they’re not going to discuss East Jerusalem and are still constructing settlements in the West Bank, the Palestinians refuse to negotiate,” said Carter, who travels frequently to the region. “The recalcitrance on the part of the Palestinians and Israeli settlements — I don’t see at this moment a way to bring an end to the impasse.”

notice he doesn’t mention Bibi’s 10 month freeze

Carter said he never meant to convey the impression that the pro-Israel lobby silenced criticism of Israel, only that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee was the “most influential lobbying group” and that presidents including himself and congresses have historically been “totally committed” to Israel’s security. He was grateful for the rise of J Street, saying that the dovish group’s views were aligned with his own.

Double talk and praise for J street. Carter does like a mirror. what is wrong with a good cause being powerful Carter?

“My pre-eminent foreign policy objective,” Carter said, “has been peace in the Middle East” fueled in part by his affection for Israel. He said he remained committed to helping release Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier held captive by Hamas since June 2006, and noted that he had helped relay two letters from Shalit’s parents to the captured soldier, and one letter from Shalit to his family.

it didn’t help Jimmy. It just enabled more terrorism and gave the idea of freeing thousands of murderers more momentum.

Jewish groups that had led criticism of Carter welcomed the outreach — and adopted a wait-and-see pose.

“Over the years NJDC has taken issue with what we perceived to be President Carter’s one-sided criticism of the State of Israel,” Ira Forman, the CEO of the National Jewish Democratic Council, told JTA. “We think only fair that when the former president asks for forgiveness for any criticism that may have stigmatized Israel that we should respond in kind. We appreciate President Carter’s ‘Al Het’ and encourage him to keep these sentiments in mind as he speaks in the future about the State of Israel.”

another enabler coming from Jewish groups. the Jews should tell Carter to go away.

The younger Carter has downplayed his grandfather’s views in what will primarily be a race — likely to take place in March, if Adelman goes to Singapore — fought on local bread-and-butter issues.

again… why didn’t you speak out before Jr. if you knew Grandpa was wrong?

“You and I both know that the Georgia Senate doesn’t set Middle East policy. And I don’t think anybody would want it to,” he recently told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Still, the elder Carter launched his first bid for the governor’s mansion from a state Senate seat, and Jason Carter likely also has greater ambitions.

It would make sense for him to reach out to Jews, said Joy Malkus, the research director for JACPAC, a Chicago-based pro-Israel political action committee. She recalled the similar experience of Jesse Jackson Jr., the congressman who had to overcome Jewish animosity to his father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Jews in Jackson’s district were “naturally somewhat skeptical,” she said, and Jackson worked hard, through visits to Israel and cooperation with the local federation, to overcome the skepticism.

“From what I remember at the very beginning when he ran,” Malkus said, “we really had to talk to people, and say, ‘Yes, we did sit down with him, and he had a position on Israel, and he worked with federation,’ and people had to be somewhat assured that he was going to be a friend.”
