Yet only Carter has been so anti-Israel, and only Israel has consistently been Carter's target. That indicates that the problem is deeper than any particular policy incident.</p>
<p>Because Christianity is so closely related to and heavily based on Judaism, it is impossible for a religious Christian to simply be indifferent towards Jews. One can either be enthusiastically pro-Jewish like George Bush and the evangelicals, or else rabidly anti-Jewish like Christian anti-Semites of the past... and like Jimmy Carter.<br />

At an art theatre, yet. For only a few weeks. Lack of interest.</p>
<p>His book probably sold better because of the ruckus over the title than anything inside. It is a superficial book, with objectionable content on nearly every page. Precisely that made it hard to read, and I doubt that all who bought it, read it.</p>
<p>Mention Carter, however, and everybody thinks 'a saint, what about habitat for humanity?' They know of his charity work, but only the committed anti-Israel side actually values his biased statements. In that regard he is dangerous - like any well-respected anti-Semite, his stuff will be quoted for years to come, and borrowed to bolster other writers' points of view.</p>
<p>I do not hope he dies soon. A state funeral would bring him and his ideas fully into the lime-light, with effusive praise from everyone. <br />
I hope instead that he has a long, slow, and humiliating decline. I want the last thing anyone remembers of that man to be dribbling, drooling, and befouled pants.</p>dfb1968 commented on 'The Vela Incident - The thorn in Jimmy Carter's side'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5529ab9bf88342008-05-27T17:37:20Z2008-05-27T17:37:20Zdfb1968I agree with psachya.

Plus, in 1979, he was screwing up about 74 other things, so I doubt this even made the radar much.</p>psachya commented on 'The Vela Incident - The thorn in Jimmy Carter's side'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55281741288332008-05-27T13:11:33Z2008-05-27T13:11:33ZpsachyaNaw, I think ol' Dhummy* is just an old-fashioned anti-Semitic dirtbag.

He doesn't need an excuse to dump on the Israelis, but he'll take one wherever he can get it.</p>
<p>*I meant to write "Dhimmy", but my finger slipped. Upon reflection, I decided to keep it the way it was.</p>Jameel @ The Muqata commented on 'The Vela Incident - The thorn in Jimmy Carter's side'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5529998ab88342008-05-27T10:48:28Z2008-05-27T10:48:28ZJameel @ The Muqatahttp://muqata.blogspot.comI'm curious if there criminal charges that can be filed against Carter in the United States for revealing privileged information?<p>I'm curious if there criminal charges that can be filed against Carter in the United States for revealing privileged information?</p>
