«As decades-old tapes from his Church Sunday school lessons reveal, former President Jimmy Carter's bias against the Jewish state may come more from an old fashioned Christian animus toward Judaism than from concerns over the situation of Palestinians. Carter taught Christian students in Plains Georgia that Judaism teaches Jews to feel superior to non-Jews, that Jewish religious practices are tricks to enhance wealth, and that current Israeli policy toward Palestinians is based on these "Jewish" values and practices.Carter at Cardozo: It's Not the "new-Anti-semitism" – It's the Older Kind
In a series of sermons Carter recorded between 1999 and 2003 that were published as a CD set by Simon and Schuster called "Sunday Mornings in Plains," Carter attacks modern Israel by retreading ancient anti-Semitic tropes that go back to the early church fathers and the Judaism/Christianity schism that gave birth to a millennia of Christian persecution of Jews.
