The latest Carter smear and Anti-Arab racism Posted by Cecilie Surasky under Educational Institutions Not content to just call him an anti-Semite, a plagiarist or a liar, now the shock troops of the necon revolution are accusing our most favorite former president of selling himself to — who else? — those “nasty” Arabs. Did Jimmy Carter do it for the money? That’s the question making the rounds about Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, an anti-Israeli screed recently written by the ex-president whose Carter Center has accepted millions in Arab funding. So begins Claudia Rosett in the outrageous The Question of Carter’s Cash in the latest National Review. Who is Claudia Rosett? And why does she shamelessly use anti-Arab racism to make her attack? (They use the photo above to make you afraid. Very afraid.) Rosett is a paid “journalist” for the prominent neoconservative Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. The group’s friends and advisors read like a who’s who of the necon universe, with everyone from Newt Gingrich, James Woolsey and Jeanne Kirkpatrick (now deceased) to William Kristol, Richard Perle and Gary Bauer. According to Sourcewatch, FDD started out as Emet: An Educational Initiative, Inc., “to offer Israel the kind of PR that the Israeli government seemed unable to provide itself.” (As though one more hasbara group could really solve Israel’s image problems.) But they fell apart, and after 9/11 were reborn as the FDD, with a new identity but a similar more covert mission. Rightweb has even more in-depth information. Muzzle Watch
