Carter "Nauseated" By Jewish Settlements

In his canonical work on anti-Semitism, Sartre famously described how pathological anti-Semites - even if they seemed perfectly reasonable on the outside - could not help but be physically repulsed by Jews. But we're sure that Jimmy Carter is the exception to that rule, and that he's just a very strong anti-Zionist:

Carter noted that he and his wife Rosalynn had visited the Palestinian territories on three occasions in recent years. "I was amazed and almost nauseated to see the encroachment by Israel on Palestinian land and the persecution of the Palestinians," he said, citing 205 fortified Jewish settlements in "choice places" in the West Bank. Rosalynn commented that the wall built by Israel to separate the two sides, but condemned internationally, was "shocking." "I would like to see good faith talks begin between the Israelis and Palestinians to bring peace and justice (for both)," said Carter, who spearheaded the first Mideast peace talks at Camp David in 1978.

Yeah, we would too. But many Palestinians find Jews literally too dirty to talk to. It's a real problem, that kind of anti-Semitism.
