Recently, Jimmy Carter’s grandson, Jason Carter, said this about his grandfather: “This is a good man who has done remarkable things with his life and has taken the opportunities that he was given and used them to do good.” Others beg to differ, particularly regarding Carter’s longstanding animus toward Israel.
Jimmy Carter, like so many others who have repeated the “two-state solution” mantra since Oct. 7, 2023, has for years been hellbent on arriving at a “solution” to the Arab-Israeli conflict. But what makes Jimmy Carter think there is a “solution” to the Arab and Muslim war against Israel? The evidence supports quite a different view. I don’t think there is a “two-state” or three-state or n-state “solution” to a conflict that will continue forever, because it is based on Muslim hostility to a Jewish state, whatever its dimensions, on land Muslims once possessed, and, still more infuriating, located in the midst of Muslim Arabdom.
That a conflict cannot be “solved” does not mean it is not manageable. Right now, possessing both the Golan and the entire West Bank, Israel can manage militarily. El-Sisi’s Egypt is clearly more worried about the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorists in the Sinai, and Hamas in Gaza. Egypt has been, like Israel, destroying the tunnels into Gaza and, like Israel, it has instituted a partial blockade on Gaza. El-Sisi has publicly admitted to cooperating with Israel in the Sinai, against both Hamas and the Islamic State. As for Syria, while Assad may have won his civil war, he still has to deal with nearly half the population that has either fled, or been displaced; his country lies mostly in ruins, and hundreds of billions of dollars will be required to rebuild. Assad and the Alawites are unlikely to risk everything they have managed to hold onto by taking on Israel. They have no resources – soldiers, war materiel, money – to spare. Saudi Arabia and the UAE both see Israel in a different light, no longer as an enemy but as an ally against the menace of an aggressive Shi’a Iran. And the Saudis, especially, are fed up with Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinians constantly whining for more suppor. The Crown Prince has told Abbas to accept whatever “deal” he is offered; it must have dawned on Abbas that the Palestinian cause is no longer at the center of Arab interests. They have too much else – Iran, the Islamic State, the Muslim Brotherhood — to worry about.
Right now the greatest threat to Israel comes from Iran, as it once came from Egypt and Syria. But despite the warming of relations with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Bahrain, and Oman, Israel cannot count on those good relations becoming permanent. It has to always keep in mind the Arab and Muslim masses, for whom It remains a permanent affront. Muslims Israel does not become less of an affront if it is pushed back, as Jimmy Carter wants it to be, to the armistice lines of 1948-49. The two metaphors the Arabs routinely use for Israel are that it is a “knife” in the heart of Arabdom, or a “cancer” within the Arab body. You don’t pull a “knife” only part-way out, nor excise only part of a cancer. You have to remove the whole blade, cut out the whole tumor.
Carter’s obsession with pushing Israel back to the pre-1967 lines, his completely ignoring the Mandate for Palestine, his misreading of Resolution 242, his unshakeable belief that Israel should entrust its security to Hamas, or to the likes of Mahmoud Abbas, doing his no-one-here-but-us-accountants impersonation – all this suggests that behind the sweet habitat-for-humanity smile, and the treacly self-righteousness, and the Sunday School unctuousness, Jimmy Carter suffers from a well-known pathological condition. It’s called antisemitism. Meanwhile, if you want to really understand the legal, historic, and moral claims of Israel, begin by reading the Mandate for Palestine, especially the Preamble, and Articles 4 and 6. Look at the Mandate maps, to see what was to be included in the future Jewish National Home. And then, to understand what U.N. Resolution 242 actually means, you should turn not to Jimmy Carter, but to the man who was most responsible for drafting that resolution, that is, the commonsensical Lord Caradon.

Egypt was not destroying tunnels in Gaza. The IDF soldiers in Rafiah uncovered dozens of tunnels crossing into Egypt, some of them are wide enough to drive a truck through. It is now clear that Egypt made huge profit from smuggling arms and other materials into Gaza.
Michael Mostofsky says
A Southern Democrat who is an antijew? Not exactly unique.
Allan Goldstein says
Jimmy Carter will truly be surprised when he wakes up in Hell. Just like every other piece of shit in his family.
Steve says
Including brother Billy, the Libyan foreign agent
.
TruthLaser says
He campaigned for governor with segregation forever George Wallace. He told white voters he would never be controlled by a bloc vote. He knew his Georgia drawl would make “bloc” sound like black.
Steve says
He then said at his inauguration as Governor in 1970 “the time for segregation has passed” (you think so, Sherlock?). Peanut Dhimmi is a prodigious liar, much like Dementia Joe.
Philip Reinstein says
Carter was indeed an antisemite. We know that by his actions, not by his mealy-mouthed words.
Allan Goldstein says
“Habitat for Humanity” has not built ONE single home for any Jewish refugee.
Not ONE.

That entire Carter family was always full of shit. Jimmy’s mother was taught by the evil “christian” behind the Leo Frank lynching.
Jimmy even refused, decades later (after the truth came out), to grant a posthumous pardon to the framed and lynched Jew Leo Frank. There is a tiny plaque where the Democrats murdered him.
In the anti-Semitic frenzy which followed the Frank lynching, fully HALF of the Jews living in Atlanta fled north. To this day, Jews dislike Southerners — my family included — and see the anti-Semitic frenzy as a pogrom.
.
Listen to Tom Lehrer’s song “I Wanna Go Back To Dixie” to get the full flavor of what the worthless “christian” Jimmy Carter and his family did to us Jews …
Mo de Profit says
He ain’t seen no lynchin’ for years!
When was that written?
Allan Goldstein says
1953? 1956? Before I was born.
Shai Ben-Tekoa says
Tom Lehrer was popular in the late 1950s for his wit. A professor of mathematics I think at MIT, he did these satirical songs to entertain people at parties. What he is mocking here is the segregated South.
Allan Goldstein says
His story has come out in drips and drabs.
While in the military he worked for the NSA — before anyone had heard that there was such an agency — but the fact that nuclear bombs had been invented and were being tested was obviously known to the public (even as work on them was still top secret) so Tom’s cover was he was a math whiz working on top secret bomb development and ask no more questions.
The NSA is now known, the work he did for them is now many years ago, and he now admits to having worked for them when they were new.
… Or perhaps that is all still yet a lie. 🤫

I always thought “The Vatican Rag” was his best!

Evil is a double whammy in Jimmy Carter. It’s true he is a fierce anti-Semite
but he is also an anti-American AKA a Globalist. In fact, along with Zbigniew
Brzezinski and David Rockefeller – one of the earliest founders of today’s
globalism. And all behind his folksy facade of phony smiles and homespun
hypocrisy so aptly described by Mr. Fitzgerald in this article.
One only has to follow the technocracy trail of Carter and the Trilateral
Commission so clearly explained in the works of author Patrick Wood to
understand how the Globalist Communists of today have been able to
endanger America,Israel and Europe the way they have. The way Carter
clings to life he might very well outlast decrepit Joe Biden – but all those
Globalists will eventually wind up in the same hell.
Patrick Wood is an esteemed friend of FPM and has been a guest in the
past on the Glazov Gang.
The suffering and fright that American Jews are experiencing in our
country today must thrill Jimmy Carter – especially since it’s under the guise
of alleged Israeli oppression of Palestinians. And especially since Carter is
the one who got the wrecking ball of Gobalism rolling over sovereignty and
freedom in the first place. The idea of a borderless, one-world government
digitally controlled by unelected technocrats must make him drool.
john blackman says
jimmy carter is a peanut . oh ! and he also grows them . the only contribution he has made to america .
Blackdog says
all of the above comments miss the point. jimmy always liked the arabs but he started trumpeting their causes when his bank book was filled after his term.
Douglas lane says
He is the one responsible for everything wrong now. Hope he stays alive to see his handiwork reach fruition
Maha says
I had forgotten Carter wasn’t dead yet. He’s 99, but apparently is too disassociated to be aware of the world now.
Atikva says
This bad, worse than bad, US President is at the root of today’s turmoil in the Middle East when he faciitated the installation of the ayatolahs’ tyranny in Iran – while shamelessly abandoning the former terminally-ill Shah. Sure, he wasn’t the only one, other western countries, including France, who welcomed, protected and set free the Khomeini monster, are guilty. But it is a US Democrats government, again, that shamed us.
owensgate says
There will NEVER be an Arab Islamic nation on Hebrew land. Says the Creator of the Universe, the Judeo-Christian God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The UN can take that to the bank. Peanut head’s first misunderstanding. His second, giving our canal back to Panama.
AZCOWBOY says
Howdy Doody Junior’s (and that’s insulting Howdy Doody) political hero was one Tom Watson, no, not the golfer, but a Populist candidate for President just before the turn of the 20th Century and a notorious demagogue who was the catalyst for the lynching of Leo Frank. He chortled, “Let Jew Libertines take Notice” as Frank dangled from the tree. He would also turn on the Blacks he originally cultivated, turned into both a U.S. Senate Democratic and KKK member before he thankfully croaked. Carter originally campaigned as a KKK acolyte, then having some sense, realized that would not go over well in an increasingly de-segregated South, so Howdy Doody Jr. reinvented himself as a born-again bigot (he never stopped hating Jews). No surprise Zbig Brezinzski (Polish Slut Mika’s daddy) was his national security adviser as he was a not-so-closeted anti-Semite himself.
May Howdy Doody Jr. croak soon.
DeputyDawg says
It was Jimmy Carter, Democrat, Georgia, who pushed the Shah of Iran out of power. We all know what happened: The U.S. embassy takeover, the bungled rescue attempt, the ascent of the Ayatollah Khomeini and radical Islam. It was Ronald Reagan, Republican, California, who secured the unconditional release of the embassy hostages, even before he took the oath of office. Iran is now the leading sponsor of terrorism worldwide, all thanks to Jimmy Carter, Democrat, Georgia.
Ted Harrison says
During the negotiations for the 1979 Egyptian Israel peace treaty, Sadat had accepted positions which Carter then told him not to and to demand further concessions which he got.This really highlights Carter’s animus towards Jews and Israel. Looking back on the Desert One debacle, further highlights this. In 1979 Israel was probably the world’s expert in desert warfare. Carter chose not to consult an ally, as he would have had to have asked Israel for help. Instead the sand took down one of the helicopters. The rest is history.
Boot-Gal says
Ah yes, the roots of Jimmy’s antisemitism as promulgated by their illustrious “reformers” conveniently seeking in Christian replacement theology substituting themselves for the Jewish people. Readily consumed by this peanut farmer and others like him hook, line and via a fully paid internment in Geihinnom!
G-d made an eternal covenant with the Jewish people, and eternity is above his pay grade!
