Recent disclosures of Jimmy Carter's extensive financial connections to Arab oil money, particularly from Saudi Arabia, had deeply shaken my belief in his integrity. Carter and his Center have accepted millions of dollars from suspect sources, beginning with the bail-out of the Carter family peanut business in the late 1970s by BCCI, a now-defunct and virulently anti-Israeli bank indirectly controlled by the Saudi royal family. If money determines political and public views as Carter insists "Jewish money" does, Carter's views on the Middle East must be deemed to have been influenced by the vast sums of Arab money he has received.

So much for Jimmy Carter, who I always thought was an old style, hillbilly anti-Semite. On the Jewish influence thing, it should also be noted that nearly three quarters of the American people see the difference between right and wrong, and support Israel (perhaps politicians are following opinion polls as well as the big bad Israel lobby?), while only 14% support the Palestinians (almost as low as Olmert's approval rating in Israel).
