News & Events - December 2006

In Jimmy Carter's new book, he makes false accusations against Israel.

He claims that in 1967 Israel launched a preemptive attack against Jordan. The fact is that Jordan attacked Israel first, Israel tried desperately to persuade Jordan to remain out of the war, and Israel counterattacked after the Jordanian army surrounded Jerusalem, firing missiles into the center of the city.

Carter repeatedly claims that the Palestinians have long supported a two-state solution and the Israelis have always opposed it. Yet he makes no mention of the fact that in 1938 the Peel Commission proposed a two-state solution with Israel receiving a mere sliver of its ancient homeland and the Palestinians receiving the bulk of the land. The Jews accepted and the Palestinians rejected this proposal, because Arab leaders cared more about there being no Jewish state on Muslim holy land.

Abba Eban famously called the 1967 lines “Auschwitz borders,” and he did so for a reason: they are indefensible

I'm looking at how many people exploit peoples beliefs for monetary gain...and boy are they gaining:

Here's a guy who's got more money than god doing basically the same thing:

These types of flamboyant preachers are making billions of dollars a year tax free on the backs of the working class, the elderly, and people who would normally know better...the graft is unmeasurable..

Wasn't that just sad. Weirdly, it touched me. I was so disappointed when the dad died. I was hoping he would be found alive. Did that story saddened you?
