Jhimmi Carter - the shoes keep dropping

While the most embarrassing of ex-Presidents slouches about the country attempting to defend his anti-Israel book and whine about his "hurt feelings", another story comes to light.

A former U.S. Justice Department official disclosed to Arutz-7 that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s advocacy extended beyond the PA Arabs, when he interceded on behalf of a Nazi SS man.

Neal Sher, a veteran of the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigation, described a letter he received from Carter in 1987 in an interview with Israel National Radio’s Tovia Singer. The letter, written and signed by Carter, asked that Sher show “special consideration” for a man proven to have murdered Jews in the Mauthausen death camp in Austria. [...]

Now, following Carter’s book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, Sher has decided to go public with the hope that a public made aware of Carter’s support and defense of a Nazi SS man will help illustrate why the arbiter of the Camp David Accords came out with a book defending the Palestinians after the landslide election of the Islamist Hamas terror group.

“It always bothered me, but I didn’t go public with it until recently, when he wrote this book and let it spill out where his sentiments really lie,” Sher said. “Here was Jimmy Carter jumping in on behalf of someone who did not deserve in any way, shape or form special consideration. And the things he has now said about the Jewish lobby really exposes where his heart really lies.”

What is amazing is that Carter, unlike the other members of the US government lobbied by the Nazi family members, never contacted Sher or his office. Jhimmi never used any of the considerable resources a former President would have at his disposal to research the Nazi family's claims.

Speaking of the SS, when will you be denouncing Reagan for going to Bitburg? How about the Governator's relationship with Kurt Waldheim?

And while we're on the subject of Jimmy Carter:

...the former Executive Director of the Holocaust Memorial Council, Monroe Freedman, who confirmed a WorldNetDaily report that he had received a note from Jimmy Carter complaining that there were "too many Jews" on the Holocaust Memorial Council. Professor Freedman also said that Carter's support for the Holocaust Memorial Council was "principally a political gimmick" based on getting political support from Jews.

"Too many Jews" on the Holocaust Memorial Council. Priceless.
