Jimmy Carter Offers Jews An ‘Al Chet’& Asks For Forgiveness
The Yeshiva World ^ | December 21, 2009 | Dov Gordon

Posted on 12/21/2009 8:24:28 PM PST by lbryce

Former US President Jimmy Carter is asking for forgiveness of the Jewish community for forgiveness for any stigma he may have caused Israel.

“…..I have the hope and a prayer that the State of Israel will flourish as a Jewish state within secure and recognized borders in peaceful co-existence with its neighbors and with all the Moslem States, and that this peaceful co-existence will bring security, prosperity and happiness to the people of Israel and to the people of the Middle East of all faiths.

“We must recognize Israel’s achievements under difficult circumstances, even as we strive in a positive way to help Israel continue to improve its relations with its Arab populations, but we must not permit criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel. As I would have noted at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but which is appropriate at any time of the year, I offer an Al Het for any words or deeds of mine that may have done so.”

No, Al Chet is not the name of some left-wing operative :-). "Al Chet" are the Hebrew words for "I have sinned".
Hey Jimmy, boy. This letter won't cut it. Something along the lines of an emotionally wrenching "I have sinned" mea culpa, with tears and all, the way Jimmy Swaggert did it, is a good place to start.

Carter is a bipolar, antisemitic d-bag.

So Carter is now acknowledging that he’s been a bigot all these years?

He’s an idiot that cause great harm to Israel and to world security.

Now, I wonder which political advisor pushed him to do this? It didn't just come out of the blue from the sanctimonious old Jew-hater

No. Sorry. Not even then — Swaggart lied too.

WHy is Carter saying this now? Or, is he? What kind of angle has he got? What’s he after?

Any self-respecting Israeli (any Jew, for that matter) ought to see through this man by now. DON’T trust him. Forgive him, perhaps. But trust? NO.

Yeah Carter, you’ve made it a practice to make stupid comments regarding Israel for decades. Now you think one measly little note should suffice.

Tell you what, retire to anonymity and I’ll give it some consideration you worthless expletive deleted.

I am surprised to see this. Glad to see it. It is a start.

Now let's see if it means anything.

Actions first, then ask for forgiveness. Let’s see what Carter will do.

Dear Jimmy,

Go to hell. The sooner, the better.

Sincerely,

Israel and all her friends.

“WHy is Carter saying this now?”

I of course do NOT know the answer, but after the successful missile test in Iran, perhaps he’s trying to assuage his own guilt by making amends to the Jewish people before the nutcases in Iran launch on Israel.

But then too Jimmuh Cahtah is old enough to be dead, so maybe he’s trying to clear things up before his demise...who knows.

It does seem odd, unless he’s sewing up loose ends. Perhaps he’s dying. Other than being paid to say this, by some Jewish interests in a puff speech, there doesn’t seem to be a good reason for such an odd “apology” at this late date. My guess is that he just got some bad news from his doctor.

carter is a truly despicable human being and is devoid of any redeeming qualities.

A perfect example of a modern Democrat.

Seeing how he blew his nose on Gen. 12:3, he’s going to need more than a note of forgiveness from the Israelis.

I can guarantee you one thing. I won’t be watching and/or videotaping his funeral like I did Reagan’s.

Maybe I’ll surf into it just to see the hate filled scowl on Rosilen’s mug like she had at Reagan’s funeral.
