Naomi Biden, daughter of Hunter Biden, shared an Instagram story on her account including a clip of her grandfather, at right, playing Mario Kart in what looks like a small arcade at Camp David. She captioned it “Secret service made the exception and let him drive himself.”
Despite the fact that Camp David didn’t earn Carter the Nobel Prize, Israelis and Egyptians owe him a debt of gratitude for that one (maybe only) good part of his legacy. It would be dishonest and insincere not to acknowledge that, especially when it’s one of the only things on which Carter could rest his hat with any sense of a positive outcome, especially related to the Middle East.
During his presidency, Carter broke a taboo and sent his emissary Andrew Young to meet with the PLO. Carter had no problem emboldening terrorists, whether in Iran, or hiding out in Lebanon and Tunisia, even (or especially) if they were set on harming Israel. Like dancing the two-step, he’d twirl forward two, but then backward one or two more steps.
If one looks at Camp David as the success that it was, on the surface one would not be mistaken for thinking Carter did great things. But while Carter’s presidency ended, his Middle Eastern interference did not. And with this, he revealed a deep seeded antisemitism. One does not become an antisemite in a day. He did not advocate for Jews to be second class citizens, being rounded up and sent to the gas chamber, or anything like that.
However, were there a Nobel Prize in antisemitism, Carter would surely be a winner. His perception of Jews, including his rhetoric and holding Israel to a double standard, demonstrated this in many ways. Carter was one of the first to publicly accuse Israel of apartheid. In doing so, he justified Palestinian Arab terror against Israelis and Jews, blaming the victim. Carter may have been a horrible president but he is no dummy. His choice of words was precise and deliberate.
Carter also associated himself with a group of defunct world leaders known as the “Elders.” One thing they had in common was their hostility toward Israel, as if they were writing a sequel to “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” One can learn a lot about a person by the company they keep. Carter loved being around and emboldening the antisemites.
What is the name of the country retreat of the President of the United States?
Nestled in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland, Camp David has served as a country retreat for the President of the United States and their guests since its establishment in 1942. Originally known as Hi-Catoctin, the site was initially purchased by the U.S. government during World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt sought a place where he could escape the pressures of Washington, D.C., and find solace amidst nature. The name "Camp David" was given to the retreat by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in honor of his grandson, David Eisenhower.
Camp David features a range of facilities. The centerpiece is the Aspen Lodge, a rustic cabin that serves as the President's residence. The lodge has comfortable living quarters, a conference room, and a presidential office. Additionally, there are several guest cabins, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a bowling alley.
While Camp David offers a respite from the demands of the presidency, it has also played a crucial role in shaping American history. Numerous significant events and diplomatic negotiations have taken place within its serene confines. One of the most notable was the Camp David Accords in 1978, where President Jimmy Carter brokered a historic peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. This achievement earned Camp David international recognition as a site of diplomatic triumph.
