President Carter’s Al Het http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/president-carters-al-het/ President Carter sent a message to the Jewish community through JTA. We briefed it, but here it is in its entirety (transliterations intact): en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-12-21T;21:43:01-05:00 Comment by Benjamin Margalit benjapage@gmail.com This apology is fraud. The word Apartheid is connected to a governing system and has no connection to religion whether the government separates church and state, or not. Why then does Carter use such a deep religious tone in his attempt to pacify when the damage he perpetrated had no religious connection? A- Israel’s welfare does not interest him. B- the path has opened for the employment of pressures on the Israeli government to inluence further restraints by US rabbis (Abraham Foxman - ADL example) C- A religious apology appears more final, and does not call for physical backup. And so we have been dealt with a double-triple insult: A- The book stays on the shelves - and maybe now even sell better. B- A new book denouncing the insulting book will not be published C- The word Apartheid will be more connected to Israel than to South-Africa This apology is fraud.
