# Jimmy Carter: A Jewish Tragedy

### Summary
> Jimmy Carter, a leader who could have gone down in Jewish history as a second Truman, will be recalled, if at all, as another Bernie Sanders. More like Bernie Madoff.

#### Relevant Discussions
**1. Impact on Jewish Relations:**  
"He embraced Khaled Mashal, Ismail Haniyeh, and other terror chiefs."

**2. Critique of Policy:**  
"Carter wasn’t satisfied with merely libeling Israel; his final decades were devoted to whitewashing Hamas and presenting it as an organization opposed to terror and dedicated to peace."

**3. Perspectives on Legacy:**  
"The man whose legacy could have been cherished by future Jewish generations will be at best forgotten, if not reviled."

### Noteworthy Commentary
- *"From a mere misreading of 242, Carter descended into a dark obsession with Israel, casting it as the source of all Middle Eastern instability."*
- *"Yet Carter wasn’t satisfied with merely libeling Israel. His final decades were devoted to whitewashing Hamas."*

#### Conclusion
"Our talent for remembering is particularly salient today after the death of former President Jimmy Carter."
