Charles Jacobs: Carter's Ruse - '...Like the early church fathers, with whom he evidently feels kinship, Carter condescends Judaism as a religion. His mission to the Jews is not simply a matter of politics but religious redemption, theirs and his. Until Jews (Israeli and otherwise) comport themselves in a biblical manner and then find redemption through the blood of Jesus they will, in his eyes, remain jailers and worse. Negotiating with Hamas is merely the first step on Israel's road to Damascus. It is a trip that Israelis are unlikely to take.'
