Just a reminder why former President Jimmy Carter continues to beat out President Barack Obama as Israel’s Public Enemy No. 1.

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter told a Baptist Convention he will return to Gaza this month "to try to let the world know what's happening to the people there." Carter previously has labeled as an "atrocity" Israel’s sanctions on Gaza in response to rocket fire on Israel.
In his Middle East tour two months ago, Carter spoke at Cairo University and accused Israel of "starving to death" Gaza residents. The former president said at a U.N. school graduation ceremony in Gaza City that "the citizens of Palestine are treated more like animals than like human beings."
The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) criticized media for repeating Carter's comments without any attributions to an Israeli response or reference to Hamas as a terrorist organization, which has attacked Israeli civilians with more than 10,000 mortar shells and rockets over the past several years.
