Jim Baker, Making Neville Chamberlain Proud

Hat tip Infidel Blogger and LGF

Jim Baker, Saudi Arabia's lawyer has long been viewed as a “soft anti-Semite” of the old country club or ‘Jimmy Carter' variety. A real WASP's WASP. Far too smooth and sophisticated to be crude about it, he does seem to view the roots of all evil in the world as emanating from Jews, and particularly from Israel. So, if one allows Baker to head up an “Iraq study group”, it’s a pretty good bet that he will find a way to place the burden of what’s going on in Iraq (or any place for that matter), on Israel, which is hundreds of miles away and dosn't even share a border with Iraq. Baker would like to "flip" Syria using Israeli currency in the form of the Golan Heights, much in the way that Chamerlain hoped to "flip" Hitler with Czechoslovakia's Sudatenland, and we all know how well that turned out. A few revolting examples from the Baker study group:

RECOMMENDATION 16: In exchange for these actions and in the context of a full and secure peace agreement, the Israelis should return the Golan Heights, with a U.S. security guarantee for Israel that could include an international force on the border, including U.S. troops if requested by both parties.
What does the Iraqi insurgency have to do the Golan Heights? Leave it to Baker to make the connection.

RECOMMENDATION 17: Concerning the Palestinian issue, elements of that negotiated peace should include:

* Adherence to UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 and to the principle of land for peace, which are the only bases for achieving peace.
So for the sake Iraq, Israel should surrender more land from its tiny area to another terrorist regime. Again, leave it to Baker.

* Strong support for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority to take the lead in preparing the way for negotiations with Israel.

* A major effort to move from the current hostilities by consolidating the cease-fire reached between the Palestinians and the Israelis in November 2006.

*Support for a Palestinian national unity government. (Which includes the terrorist group Hamas).

Professor Kenneth W. Stein resigns from Carter Center over Carters sleezy new book: "President Carter's book on the Middle East, a title too inflammatory to even print, is not based on unvarnished analyses; it is replete with factual errors, copied materials not cited, superficialities, glaring omissions, and simply invented segments. Aside from the one-sided nature of the book, meant to provoke, there are recollections cited from meetings where I was the third person in the room, and my notes of those meetings show little similarity to points claimed in the book. Being a former President does not give one a unique privilege to invent information or to unpack it with cuts, deftly slanted to provide a particular outlook."
