Alan Dershowitz about Carter's antisemitism.
"Recent disclosures of Carter’s extensive financial connections to Arab oil money, particularly from Saudi Arabia, had deeply shaken my belief in his integrity. 2)

When I was first told that he received a monetary reward in the name of Shiekh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahayan, and kept the money, even after Harvard returned money from the same source because of its anti-Semitic history, I simply did not believe it. 3)

How could a man of such apparent integrity enrich himself with dirty money from so dirty a source? … 4)

The Zayed Centre for Coordination & Follow-up, a think-tank funded by the Shiekh & run by his son, hosted speakers who called Jews “the enemies of all nations,” attributed the assassination of John Kennedy to Israel & the Mossad & the 9/11 attacks to the US’ own military, 5)

& stated that the Holocaust was a “fable.” (They also hosted a speech by Jimmy Carter.) To its credit, Harvard turned the money back. To his discredit, Carter did not. 6)

These millions, some of which even went to bail out the Carter family peanut business in the late 1970s, help us understand how someone so seemingly smart can be so silly, and how someone so pure can be so biased." 7)

I disagree with the conclusion that Jimmy Carter was merely bought. By his actions and deeds he is both antiIsrael and antisemitic. As the professor would say, "If it walks like a duck...." 8)
