Is Desert Schmuck an Antisemite? Or just a dumb schmuck?
DesertPeace: "'ANTI SEMITISM.....ANTI SEMITISM.....' The 'cries of wolf' get louder and LOUDER..... but no one is listening.
Abraham Foxman of the ADL would be wise to learn a new song... the one he 'sings' constantly is quite boring.
All this is about a new statement by Jimmy Carter... a statement saying ' that Israeli policy in the West Bank even worse instances of apartheid than once held sway in South Africa.'"

But what did Abe actually say?

The book has sparked strong criticism from Jewish figures in the United States. Abraham H. Foxman,
national director of the Anti-Defamation League, has said that some comments from the former president border on anti-Semitism.

"When you think about the charge that he has made that the Jewish people control the means of communication, it is odious," Foxman was quoted as saying last week. "If the Jews controlled the media, how come he is traveling around the country speaking about this book on talk shows?"

Basically he showed the Carter, failure as a president, is also a failure at telling the truth.

Is that what Desert Schmuck is so upset about?

Rather sad for an ex-president and a Nobel (for political purposes only) Peace prize winner to state that the Palestinians have it rougher than the Africans in the former whites only country of South Africa.

It has kept the Palestinian suicide bombers out. More important than the inconvenience of some other palestinians.

I read Abraham H. Foxman's Never Again? last week. It was a much better read than I expected. I thought the book was rather good. I got it at a used book store a few weeks ago for I think it was $6 hard cover they had several copies.

I’m not sure what the name was. I was in a mall near Buffalo NY a month or so ago and got it at an outlet mall with a used book store around the back. I just came back from Florida the other day and went into books-a-million at the Saw Grass Mall. I didn’t see it there. The book is a few years old.

They did have some other great Judaica reading but I got Relativity By Einstein the special and the general theory. So far so good. Thought provoking and only $7.95.

It certainly was a welcome decision. I am hopeful that most Israeli citizens abhor the violence and what is done to contain it, while realizing that there is no other realistic choice.

Have they been corrupted or are they never perfect enough?
