Perhaps the saddest part of all is in seeing even the most progressive members of his own party, the so called liberal Democrat leaders; distance themselves from the person that should be held as a leader to emulate.  But what can you expect when Democratic politicians also suck from a tit of the same “Israel Lobby” udder as do Republicans.

This prominent James of today, follower of those James’s of two millennia ago – The Greater, The Lesser and The Just – is breaking ground for us as an evangelist of sorts, except that his gospel is not of “good news” but of “bad news.”  Yet, it’s a gospel of hope not just for Christians, but for Jews and Muslims as well… all children of Abraham.

But bringing these “bad news” of Israel’s occupied territories: the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, should be welcomed knowledge by all Americans, most clueless as to the Palestine reality thanks to the purposely foggy representation by American media of the Middle East.  Let’s not tag Mr. Carter as an anti-Israel provocateur, something which he is not.  Let’s have for the first time ever in this country a thorough and honest debate on the issues that create this conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, and make America part of the solution instead of being the lion’s share of the problem.

President Carter did walk the high wire once before during his presidency as he addressed the problems of energy waste (gluttony) to an American audience that has never been receptive to any type of criticism, and have never forgiven him for that.  And to this date, his honesty in the late 70’s on the consumption and importation of oil continues to be masked by portraying him, and his presidency, in a very low regard.  Criticism of Israel in his recently published book seems to be just as unwelcome almost three decades later.

After second thoughts, perhaps Saint James of Plains should be honored in the future not as an American politician-martyr, but as the Patron of Truth… not just in America but throughout the world.

Ben Tanosborn an editor of MWC News, after completing graduate studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he set out for a career in international business that would take him to five continents, expose him to several cultures and make him realize the importance for any and all Americans to become goodwill ambassadors for the United States.
