Suddenly Peanut Farming Doesn’t Seem So Bad

Things aren’t looking so hot for old Jimmy Carter. The attack rabbits look to be swarming.

Fourteen more directors of the Carter Center up and resign the other day, on account of old Jimmy is a lying liar:

In your book, which portrays the conflict between Israel and her neighbors as a purely one-sided affair with Israel holding all of the responsibility for resolving the conflict, you have clearly abandoned your historic role of broker in favor of becoming an advocate for one side. The facts in dealing with the conflict are these: There are two national narratives contesting one piece of land. The Israelis, through deed and public comment, have consistently spoken of a desire to live in peace and make territorial compromise to achieve this status. The Palestinian side has consistently resorted to acts of terror as a national expression and elected parties endorsing the use of terror, the rejection of territorial compromise and of Israel’s right to exist. Palestinian leaders have had chances since 1947 to have their own state.

Now it seems that the old rabbit hunter, in his campaign against the evil Jooos, has personally profited to the tune of tens of millions of dollars from Arab sources.

Rachel Ehrenfeld, in a thorough and devastating article on “Carter’s Arab Financiers,” meticulously catalogues Carter’s ties to Arab moneymen, from a Saudi bailout of his peanut farm in 1976, to funding for Carter’s presidential library, to continued support for all manner of Carter’s post-presidential activities.

Lovely.
