Click here to read a collection of Carter's insults against Jews and the Jewish religion. He describes Judaism as degenerate, inaccurate and wrong. Its leaders would allow tricks in the religion for the benefit of rich Jews to circumvent the morality of the 10 commandments. He compares Jews to the Taliban. He teaches that Jews don't pray directly to God, nor do they understand their own Bible. Christianity has superseded Judaism and is superior to it. Carter describes the selfishness and lack of ethics among those who don't accept Christ. In fact, he says that the "Israelites" willfully rejected God’s standards of the proper life according to Jesus.

Click here to read how Carter admits his inclination to select bad news about people he doesn't like--even news that might not be true--and his awareness that he exalts himself by damaging their reputation. Although we accuse him of being anti-Semitic, this section shows his own confession of this moral transgression. However, his remedy for slander is to practice Christian love, which he defines as being only for the benefit of other Christians! In other words, Jews are not entitled to relief from his bigotry unless and until they convert to Christianity, at which point they will no longer be Jews!

Click here to read how Carter spreads his slander that Jews are hostile toward non-Jews: Against all contrary evidence, Carter persists in expressing his obsession with the false and defamatory idea that Jews are hostile to non-Jews. As an excuse to persecute Jews, anti-Semites have often denounced Jews for being a threat to the moral order of the world in general and Christians in particular.

Click here for a collection of ignorant mistakes: Not only should Carter be discredited for being a bigot (so that his pronouncements about Israel will be undermined for being untrustworthy), he should also be discredited as a Bible authority. This section discusses his many mistakes, anachronisms, and areas of ignorance in biblical matters. Even his slips of the tongue (Freudian slips?) reveal a pattern of anti-Jewish bias. Not all his errors are merely the result of ignorance. He frequently demonstrates his willingness to contradict himself for the sake of making Jews look bad.

What is anti-Semitism? When is anti-Zionism anti-Semitic, and how can Jimmy Carter be an anti-Semite? We cannot determine whether someone is anti-Semitic until we have an educated understanding of anti-Semitism. The problem with most conventional but uninformed ideas about anti-Semitism is that they leave people shocked whenever anti-Semitism raises its venomous voice in the world. The purpose of this section is to make sense of recent manifestations of anti-Semitism in the western world, such as the anti-Zionism of the political left.

Click here to read how Carter blames Jews for the death of Christ. This is the classic anti-Semitic charge of the centuries. Even the Vatican reversed centuries of Catholic tradition by declaring in this century that Jews should not be accused of the death of Christ. While Carter does not explicitly utter the phrase: "the Jews killed Christ," he frequently warns us that their actions led to--and were responsible for--the crucifixion.

Click here to read about Carter's modern blood libel: accusing Israeli snipers of intentionally killing a young Christian man who served the church where Christ was born. During the Middle Ages, the idea that Jews targeted Christian boys for slaughter became a popular provocation for the execution of countless Jews. For hundreds of years, Jewish communities were terrorized by the consequences of this absurd but widely-believed accusation. Although most Christians eventually learned to discredit this calumny, Carter regurgitates this malicious, medieval anti-Semitic slander in our time.
