CAMERA responds to Carter http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/camera-responds-to-carter/ CAMERA’s Andrea Levin has sent President Carter a letter responding to his apology to the Jewish community. en-us aeden@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-12-24T;23:56:00-05:00 Comment by Yosef Hartuv yosefandmelody@gmail.com A couple of quick notes on Carter’s apology to Jews (on which I also wrote a more lengthy Hebrew piece for this coming weekend): 1. Jewish organizations have to congratulate him and pretend to believe him. Jewish writers don’t. 2. Jewish politicians and Israeli politicians have to act as if he means what he says. Jews with no political aspirations don’t. 3. For him to deny that it’s all about the grandson’s race - namely, to deny the obvious reason for his mea-culpa - is just Carter being Carter.
