Jimmy Carter on the take from the Arab Lobby

Maybe my sarcasm is misunderstood. OK. I edited the thread starter to add clarity.

Wow. Just wow.

Mysteriously, the websites in question neglect to provide a list of those public speakers who speak highly of Israel and have contributors like AIPAC, AJC, etc.
 
I think the point is that Carter is getting millions from Arab sources which in turn shades his once even-handedness in his opinion of Israel. He comes across as "Mr. Sincere" and I feel this "awe shucks" image is false.

And this point is sheer, 100% BS.

The Carter Center (which has distanced itself from Carter's book, you'll notice) receives millions from all sorts of sources, including the Government of the United Kingdom. (Which, you will notice, is pro-Israel.)

You'll have to do more than just point at the Center getting funds from Arabs and scream "conspiracy."

Bush received millions of dollars from Jewish sources. That must be why he supports Israel, right?
 
GW Bush has accepted the assistance of the Qatar government and the Saudis, he must support the bombing of the world trade center. (New Godwin's law, i have mentioned 9-11)

There's no evidence suggesting Bush is a peanut. Although we do know he's an enemy of the pretzel. Their salty plans require his demise. I may not support (m)any of Bush's policies, but I stand firmly behind him in the War on Pretzels. Unless the pretzels are victorious, in which case, I for one welcome our new pretzel overlords.
 
Really weak, at least the Frontpagemag
In particular, Carter claims that critics are compromised by their support for Israel, their ties to pro-Israel lobbying organizations, and -- a more pernicious charge -- their Jewish background.

No citations just an allegation. that is proof allright.
In interviews about his book, Carter has seldom missed an opportunity to invoke what he calls the “powerful influence of AIPAC,”

Context? reference?
Cherry picking?

Allegation, no evidence.
that it is the lobbying group, and not his slanderous charges about Israel, that is mainly responsible for mobilizing popular outrage over Palestine. In a related line of defense, Carter has singled out “representatives of Jewish organizations”

Reference, citation?
in the media as the prime culprits behind his poor reviews

Citations? Evidence?
and “university campuses with high Jewish enrollment”

Where, how, when, what did he say.
as the main obstacle to forthright debate about his book on American universities. (Ironically, when challenged last week by Alan Dershowitz to a debate about his book at Brandeis University, which has a large Jewish student body, Carter rejected the invitation.)

More guesses and speculation, sorry, how about some citations and source material?

All Hail, cream cheese and chocolate sauce!
 
Didn't Carter do more to secure Israel than pretty much anyone before or since by brokering a lasting peace agreement with Egypt?

Remember this was only 10 years or so after the 8 days war, and Israel and Egypt were bitter enemies. I suspect Began knew darn well that he was risking his life by signing the peace agreement with Israel, but Carter was able to get him to do it anyway.

He does support the idea that you & I will continue to be able to buy gasoline, etc. But blather on if bush-bashing floats your boat (got sails? or oars? :) ).
 
The OP implied he, personally, was getting the money. It a charitable trust that is getting the money, set up by him and named after him. If you can demonstrate that he is personally profiting from this, that would be a scandal.

The Carter Center is a non-profit organization founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.
The Atlanta-based Carter Center has helped to improve the quality of life for people in more than 65 countries. In partnership with Emory University, the Center is committed to advancing human rights and alleviating unnecessary human suffering.
The organization's Board of Trustees is chaired by John J. Moores.
The Carter Center is located in a 35-acre park approximately two miles east of downtown Atlanta. The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum, which is adjacent to the Center, is owned and operated by the National Archives and Records Administration of the federal government. The Center and Library are known collectively as The Carter Presidential Center.
The Carter Center is guided by five principles:
1. The Center emphasizes action and results. Based on careful research and analysis, it is prepared to take timely action on important and pressing issues.
2. The Center does not duplicate the effective efforts of others.
3. The Center addresses difficult problems and recognizes the possibility of failure as an acceptable risk.
4. The Center is nonpartisan and acts as a neutral in dispute resolution activities.
5. The Center believes that people can improve their lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources.
The Carter Center collaborates with other organizations, public or private, in carrying out its mission.
The Carter Center observes international elections, works for reduction of the stigma of mental illness, strengthens national, regional, and international systems dedicated to democracy and human rights, and spearheads programs to eradicate several diseases common in Latin America and/or Africa, such as Guinea worm.

THAT's IT! Carter is secretly channeling the "Guinea Worm" money into his personal account. "Guinea-gate."
 
I'm not really sure what the rationale is here. Someone believes that Carter is being critical of Israel in order to attract more donations to the Carter Center?

No. The rationale here is that my thread is about that Jimmy Carter is sucking the financial teet of the "rich Arabs" and travelling hither and yon dissing Israel and America and I think he is a phony passing himself off as an "awe shucks I'm just a good ol' boy" even though he used to be the president. The problem is my links suck and I need more proof and I tried to read his book and I started to and it angered me and I need to work through this and try to read it again although I did read his Blood of Abraham I think it was and I think he was cool with the Hebrews back then.

Ok, so when he supports your views, he's a good and honest guy, but when he doesn't support them anymore, it must be because he's taking bribes?

I think if someone is straight by the age of 61 (when he wrote Blood of Abraham) it's going to be damn hard to corrupt that person.

Really.. I haven't read his new book yet, but I really find it more likely that he's still an honest person, who just changed his mind on some subjects.

I've seen him interviewed since the new book came out, and I don't see him affecting a "good ol' boy" persona. I don't see him trying to play down his intelligence. Do you have any examples of him passing him off as something he's not? Like him or not, my impression is that he's bright and sincere (thought I'll look at any evidence supplied to the contrary).
