"We must not permit criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel," Carter said in a letter sent to a wire service for Jewish newspapers.

Carter writes in an open letter to the Jewish community this week that he hopes the new year will bring peace between Israel and its neighbors. He says "we must not permit criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel."

(Or maybe not...) Jimma, when not spooning with Hugo Chavez, has said and written many bad things about Israel. He has substantially blamed Israel for much of what is wrong in the world and for just about all that is wrong in the Holy Land. In his book “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid," Carter called Jewish settlement practices "apartheid" and substantially blamed Israel for every rock thrown and rocket launched by a Palestinian. But now he is really, really sorry. Carter issued this apology for any feelings he may have hurt with his reflexive anti-semitism. Continue Reading...

But, right now, Americans are more fearful and more uncertain about the future of their country, than they were during the years that Carter was President (1977 - 1981).
