JIMMY CARTER IS AT IT AGAIN

Now Carter is helping to raise funds for the Islamic Society of North America, a group that has been accused by the Justice Department of funneling $12 million to Hamas

It doesn’t surprise me that arguably the worst U.S. president ever would help raise funds to be used against Israel, since the pious fool almost always sides with the Palestinians against the Jewish state.

AUTHOR EHRENFIELD: JIMMY CARTER NEVER MET ‘ISLAMIC TERRORIST HE DIDN’T LIKE’

Terrorism expert Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld on Thursday slammed former President Jimmy Carter for his planned speech at a fundraiser for a terrorism group linked to Hamas, telling Newsmax TV that "Mr. Carter has never met an Islamic terrorist that he didn’t like."

"Mr. Carter started his involvement with, as far as I know, with several nefarious characters even before he was elected president, when he was governor, and his peanut business was in trouble," Ehrenfeld, the director of the American Center for Democracy, told "America's Forum" host J.D. Hayworth.

"It goes back to the days even before BCCI, the Libyans, the Saudis, had bailed his business out. So from then, he and his family had been living on Saudi largesse and others," Ehrenfeld said of the Democratic president. "The older he's gotten, the more supportive he has become of … others who are really not supporting anything that is written in the American Constitution.

"He was a big champion of Hamas — and, apparently, he has been known, actually, to be very anti-Semitic," she added. "So, combined with that, he's having a ball."

Carter, 89, who has long supported Hamas in its struggle with Israel, will speak this weekend at an event in Detroit sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The group has been implicated by the Justice Department in a scheme to funnel $12 million to Hamas.

Other speakers at the event at Cobo Hall are unindicted co-conspirators Jamal Badawi, who was named in 2007 in the Holy Land Foundation Trial, and Siraj Wahhaj, who is listed for his involvement in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

News of Carter's participation in the event was first reported by Breitbart News. His presence could violate federal laws that make it a crime for any U.S. citizen to provide material support to any group designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz told Breitbart that Carter's actions, in raising funds for the ISNA, place him "very close, if not across the line," of criminal behavior.

Ehrenfeld is the author of "Funding Evil: How Terrorism Is Financed and How to Stop It."
