Jimmy Carter Was No Friend of Israel

Yep!  It’s kind of tradition to say nice things about the dead and maybe try and ignore the nasty things they did.  Hooray!  Jimmy Carter taught Sunday school for years!  Hooray!  Jimmy Carter built houses for poor people!  Booo!   Jimmy Carter wrote a book about the non-existent “Palestinian people” and accused Israel of apartheid!  Booo!  Carter had meeting with Hamas!  A demonic hoard of Muslim terrorists who dream of doing Satan’s work.

Jimmy Carter’s death has unleashed a predictable flood of tributes. From his humanitarian work to his “commitment to peace,” the accolades are rolling in. But let’s not mince words: for anyone who cares about Israel and the future of the Jewish people, Jimmy Carter’s legacy is not worthy of praise. It is a stain—a decades-long campaign to undermine the Jewish state and empower its enemies. And yet, some Jewish organizations, most notably the American Jewish Committee (AJC), cannot resist their compulsion to whitewash Carter’s record.

In their official statement on Carter’s passing, the AJC declared, “Jimmy Carter’s decades-long commitment to advancing peace earned him a place on the world stage as a respected statesman and humanitarian. We will always be grateful for his role in facilitating the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty.” That’s it? No mention of his anti-Israel rhetoric, his toxic “apartheid” slander, or his cozying up to Hamas leaders who have Jewish blood on their hands? The AJC’s statement is not just tone-deaf; it’s a betrayal.

Carter’s record on Israel is infamous. His 2006 book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, accused Israel of imposing apartheid on Palestinians—a libel that delegitimizes the Jewish state and fuels the very antisemitism that Jewish organizations claim to oppose. Carter’s meetings with Hamas, an organization dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews worldwide, were not about “peace.” They were about legitimizing terror.

Jewish organizations like the AJC should have been leading the charge to call Carter out. Instead, they fell over themselves to avoid offending the memory of a man who spent decades undermining Israel’s existence. The AJC’s spinelessness is not unique; it exemplifies the broader failure of establishment Jewish organizations to stand up for Jewish honor and Jewish pride.
