While former president Jimmy Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid generated many accusations of bias and anti-Semitism, another Jimmy Carter work published last year, three sets of audio CD's of Bible classes he delivered in his hometown church in Georgia, has largely passed under the radar.

And yet these CD's, published by Simon and Schuster in 2007 based on lessons Carter delivered in 1998, 2001 and 2003, feature a disturbing number of subtle and not so subtle anti-Jewish and anti-Israel statements - plus a fair dose of falsehood and ignorance...

...Undoubtedly, some of what Carter says in these CD's derives from the New Testament. Nonetheless, Christian Media Analyst for CAMERA (Committee for Middle East Reporting Accuracy) Dexter Van Zile said, "Most responsible Christians can tell the difference between an affirmation of Christianity's religious truth and the denigration of the Jewish people. And most Christians have learned that they no longer have to go around beating up on the Jewish people to affirm their religious truth. Unfortunately there are times when it looks like Jimmy Carter hasn't learned that lesson."

Also, Van Zile added, Carter "seems to basically think that the New Testament is an accurate description of Judaism even in the 21st century." He makes no effort to restrict his characterization of Jews and Judaism to the Second Temple era.

In his analysis of the CD's, Miller found that at times Carter actually conflates ancient and modern Jewish history by mistakenly calling Israelites Israelis or Judea Israel. In one example, Carter says, "God would save the Israelites, they would sign a firm commitment or contract or covenant. The Israelis would what? Violate the covenant, break their promises to God. They would be punished."...
