Jimmy Carter apologized to the Jews for his statements and actions over the past few decades and it was quickly accepted by Abe Foxman from the Anti Defamation League.

Apparently Foxman now has second thoughts and has taken back his endorsement after a recent speech Carter gave in Atlanta.

Carter of course claims he is not discriminating.  His discrimination is in holding Israel to a standard no other nation is held to. No other nation is subject to existential threats, constant debasement at the UN, or is expected to negotiate with parties who not only do not recognize its sovereignty but daily threatens to annihilate its population.

Perhaps Foxman and others could be more discriminating in letting a single moment counter a history of venom. Perhaps he can learn to simply ignore him, as we all should.
