I made aliyah from New York City 29 years ago in 1978, when Carter was president. One of the perks of making aliyah was that I no longer had to look at Carter’s tooth filled visage every time I turned around. I would cringe every time I heard Menachem Begin say “my friend Jeemy”, which was far too often. One could clearly see from Carter’s body language that he despised Begin, whereas he loved Anwar Sadat. The reason, of course, was that Begin was Jewish and Sadat, like Carter, was an enemy of the Jewish People and State.  

After all, it is Carter’s belief that the Jews killed Jesus and as an eternal punishment for this supposed act, the Jews became pariahs, wandering from country to country in a hopeless search for a home. This is how Carter feels it should be. How then, he asks, is it possible for the Jews, after 2,000 years of homelessness, the culmination of which was the wonderful (from his point of view) Holocaust, come back home to their own country? Surely there must be some mistake because the return of the Jewish People to Zion goes against everything that Carter was taught and believes in. The return of the Jewish People to Zion could make one think that the G-d of the Jews is the only real G-d, and that all other so-called gods are fakes. This is why Carter will do anything to make things “right”. He will even leave his pampered life to try to make peace between two crazy groups of terrorists in the hope that they will destroy the Jewish State, because his privileged position means nothing to him as long as the Jewish State and People continue to exist.  

There is another infamous figure in history who felt just like Carter does. I refer, of course, to Haman. It states in the Book of Esther, Chapter 5, Verses 11 and 13, as follows: “And Haman told them of his glory and wealth … and how the emperor raised him above all of the emperor’s other ministers and servants. … And yet none of this has any meaning to me as long as I see that Jew Mordechai sitting at the emperor’s gate” (emphasis added). Well Jimmy Carter, you are destined to succeed as well as Haman did, because there is a G-d in Heaven and He is the G-d of the People you hate, the eternal People of Israel.
