The 39th President of the USA, despite his role in mediating the 1979 Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, was denounced as an anti-Semite following the publication of his 2006 book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, which went on to become a New York Times bestseller.<\/p>\n<p>After a fierce backlash, Carter explained why it was so difficult for US politicians to discuss America\u2019s relationship with Israel and the policies of the Zionist state openly and honestly, which we are not accustomed to from our leaders. But he broke the mould whene he revealed: \u201cIt would be almost politically suicidal for members of Congress to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine,\u201d he wrote in the Guardian at the time. He urged his fellow Americans to know the facts about the \u201cABOMINABLE OPPRESSION OF THE PALESTINIANS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate purpose of his book, said Carter, was to present facts about the Middle East that are largely unknown in America, to precipitate discussion and help restart peace talks that can lead to permanent peace for Israel and its neighbours. \u201cAnother hope is that Jews and other Americans who share this goal might be motivated to express their views, even publicly, and perhaps in concert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The warning of Israel\u2019s growing influence over American foreign policy has LONG BEEN VOICED. Now, however, we are witnessing just how far, wide and deep the Zionists have embedded their tentacles into not only the political system, but academia, industry, finance and especially the media.<\/p>\n<p>America is a hostage stage. The upcoming 2024 Presidential elections will be the most important elections in American history. If Americans vote for Biden or Trump, humanity is lost and America will have sold its values to the highest and most immoral bidder!<\/p>\n<p>@insan.qtr<\/p>\n<p>English Script:<br \/>\nReporter: Why don&#8217;t Americans know what you have seen?<br \/>\nJimmy Carter: Americans don\u2019t want to know. And many Israelis don&#8217;t want to know what is going on inside Palestine. It&#8217;s a terrible human rights persecution that is far transcends what any outsider would imagine. And there are powerful political forces in America that prevents any objective analysis of the problem in the Holy Land. I think it&#8217;s accurate to say that not a single member of Congress with which I am familiar, would possibly speak out and call for Israel to withdraw to their legal boundaries or to publicize the plight of the Palestinians, or even to call publicly and repeatedly for good faith peace talks. There had been a day of peace talks now in more than seven years. So this is a taboo subject, and I would say that if any member of Congress did speak out as I just described, they would probably not be back in the Congress the next time.<br \/>\nReporter: Who are these forces that you&#8217;re talking about?<br \/>\nJimmy Carter: Well, there&#8217;s an inherent commitment in America, which I share as a Christian of a deep commitment to make sure that Israel is safe and that is headed onto by the very effective work of the American Israeli group called AIPAC, which is performing its completely legitimate task of convincing Americans to support the policies of the Israeli government. And AIPAC is not dedicated to peace, they&#8217;re dedicated to inducing the maximum support in America, in the White House, and in the Congress and in the public media, for whatever policies the Israeli government has at a particular time, and they&#8217;re extremely effective.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ays-arp-under-posts-container ays-arp-elegant-layout \"
