Israelis should appreciate President Jimmy Carter with a statue at Ben-Gurion Airport

The Israelis should kiss his feet, he is the only man in the difficult Jewish
history who brought a real sustainable security to Jews; he removed a major
enemy of Israel by forging a friendship agreement with Egypt. Carter is a peace
maker, and has the balls to do the right thing. I wish Obama was man enough to
stand up to Netanyahu to get him to do the right thing; instead he buckled to
Netanyahu, who is not good for Israel’s long term security, neither his actions
will mitigate the rise in Anti-Semitism across the globe.

President
carter locked Begin and Sadat in a room and told them to come to agreement or
rot in there. It took tremendous courage on his part, despite the attempts by
right wing lobby to derail his work and the end his courage and wisdom won for
Israel. Israelis should be grateful to their savior and honor him by building a
statue in his name at Ben-Gurion Airport.

The book he wrote on Apartheid in Israel is good for Israel in the long run;
you cannot bury your head in the sand and deny it. Apartheid is not good for
Israel, as it was not good for America or South Africa. Apartheid is expressed
in so many ways, including the stinky attitude that does not value the lives of
Palestinians and justifies killing them; they can be spared.  I am concerned about the abnormal guilt laden
people Israel will have in the future.  It is not good for Israel. Talk to Iraqi
veterans, Vietnamese Veterans and thoughtful Israeli soldiers and others, they
know injustice towards others impairs their mental balance. 

A good
Jewish Scholar disappointed me severely. He and I worked together on a few
projects, and then he disappeared and would not return my calls or emails. One
day at a Synagogue I was a greeter; he walked in, saw me and walked away in a
hurry, as if I were a land mine.  I was
not going to let that happen and ran up to him. He did not like a bit, when I pointed
that as a scholar like him, should give me a reason for his cold shoulders. He
looked at me with disgust and said, “Take that xxx xx x xxxxx Carter off
your website” then I will talk with you.  He did not want to
elaborate and simply walked away and I kept looking at him in disbelief; such a
hatred for your savior?

President
Carter is being attacked on facebook again, “He accuses Israel of
committing “deliberate attacks on civilians.” And responses were
like, “Major. Asshole”,”Nasty old man, a liar as well as a
fool.”  Someone wrote Fxxx him. This is disgusting.  Those few
men who ‘curse’ him should repent and pray for him. No one has done more good
to Israel than Jimmy Carter. None!

 Of
course, a majority of good decent Israelis respect and honor him, but we don’t
hear much from them, and all we see on the internet is ugliness displayed
towards him. Evil persists if we don’t speak up, and we have to speak up to
bring awareness to the moderate Jews that they need to speak up.

I am glad Jimmy Carter has the vision and foresight to call on US, EU to recognize
Hamas,
indeed, I am writing a piece, it is good for Israel to have working
relationships with its purported enemies and friends, if not who will they make
peace with? Duh!  It is time for the
right wingers to sit on the side lines, and watch good things happen without
their animal instincts.  Let Jimmy Carter
be in the middle again, God has blessed him to be a peacemaker. May he bring
security to Israel and Justice to the Palestinians, Amen!
