Terrorism expert Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld on Thursday slammed former President Jimmy Carter for his planned speech at a fundraiser for a terrorism group linked to Hamas, telling Newsmax TV that "Mr. Carter has never met an Islamic terrorist that he didn't like."
"Mr. Carter started his involvement with, as far as I know, with several nefarious characters even before he was elected president, when he was governor, and his peanut business was in trouble," Ehrenfeld, the director of the American Center for Democracy, told "America's Forum" host J.D. Hayworth. Story Continues Below Video
"It goes back to the days even before BCCI [The Bank of Credit and Commerce International founded by Abu Dhabi]
, the Libyans, the Saudis, had bailed his business out. So from then, he and his family had been living on Saudi largesse and others," Ehrenfeld said of the Democratic president. "The older he's gotten, the more supportive he has become of ... others who are really not supporting anything that is written in the American Constitution.
"He was a big champion of Hamas - and, apparently, he has been known, actually, to be very anti-Semitic," she added. "So, combined with that, he's having a ball."
Carter, 89, who has long supported Hamas in its struggle with Israel, will speak this weekend at an event in Detroit sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America
(ISNA). The group has been implicated by the Justice Department in a scheme to funnel $12 million to Hamas.
Ehrenfeld is the author of "Funding Evil: How Terrorism Is Financed and How to Stop It."

2. Who Was Jimmy Carter?
Jimmy Carter. 39th President of the United States. born 1924.
In office January 20, 1977 - January 20, 1981
Vice President Walter Mondale
Preceded by Gerald Ford
Succeeded by Ronald Reagan
76th Governor of Georgia
His brother was
William Alton "Billy" Carter III (March 29, 1937- September 25, 1988)
owned a gas station, frequently made anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli statements.
He eventually registered as a foreign agent of the Libyan government and received a $220,000 loan. (Edwin P. Wilson claimed he had seen a telegram showing that Libya paid Billy Carter $2 million.)
James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. (born October 1, 1924)Â was a member of the Democratic Party who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981 and was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize. Carter, raised in rural Georgia, was a peanut farmer, served two terms as a Georgia State Senator and one as the Governor of Georgia, from 1971 to 1975. He was elected President in 1976, running as an outsider who promised truth in government in the wake of the Watergate scandal that put President Richard Nixon out of office.
 In foreign affairs, Carter pursued the Camp David Accords, that set up a framework to give the Palestinians autonomy and arm them. This would lead (it was intended) to an independent state while tearing the State of Israel apart from the inside
Israel needed to withdraw from Sinai and turn it over to Egypt, with its oil and mineral resources, and strategic value.
Carter returned the Panama Canal Zone to Panama.
 The end of his presidential tenure was marked by the 1979-1981 Iran hostage crisis, the 1979 energy crisis, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In response to the Soviet move he ended detente, escalated the Cold War, and led the international boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
By 1980, Carter's popularity had eroded. He survived a primary challenge from Ted Kennedy for the Democratic Party nomination in the 1980 election. He lost the general election in a Republican landslide led by Ronald Reagan.
We now learn that Carter was on the Saudi payroll even before becoming President!

3. Iraq breaks months-long jihadist siege

Extracts:
Kirkuk (Iraq) (AFP) - Iraqi forces, aided by US air strikes, have broken through to the jihadist-besieged Shiite town of Amerli where thousands have been trapped for over two months with dwindling food and water supplies.
It is the biggest offensive success for the Iraqi government since militants led by the Sunni jihadist group Islamic State (IS) overran large areas of five provinces in June, sweeping security forces aside.
The breakthrough came on Sunday as the United States carried out limited strikes in the area, the first time it has expanded its more than three-week air campaign against militants outside of Iraq's north.
"The strike near Amerli damaged an ISIL tank and the strike near Mosul Dam destroyed an ISIL armed vehicle. All aircraft exited the strike area safely," a US Defense Department statement said, referring to the IS forces also known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
The mainly Shiite Turkmen residents of the town in Salaheddin province are endangered both because of their faith, which jihadists consider heresy, and their resistance to the militants, which has drawn harsh retribution elsewhere.
UN Iraq envoy Nickolay Mladenov had warned that they faced a "massacre" by the besieging militants.
The operation to free Amerli was launched on Saturday after days of preparations in which Iraqi security forces, Shiite militiamen and Kurdish fighters deployed for the assault and Iraqi aircraft carried out strikes against militants.
Kurdish fighters and Shiite militiamen, meanwhile, clashed with militants who hold Sulaiman Bek and Yanakaja, north of Amerli.
The fighting killed two members of the Kurdish peshmerga forces, one of them a colonel, and 12 militiamen, an official responsible for the nearby Tuz Khurmatu area and a doctor said.
The government's reliance on the thousands of Shiite militiamen involved in the operation poses serious dangers for Iraq, risking entrenching groups with a history of brutal sectarian killings.
The United States announced that it carried out air strikes in the Amerli area, expanding its air campaign outside northern Iraq, while Australian, British, French and US aircraft dropped relief supplies for the town.
"At the request of the government of Iraq, the United States military today airdropped humanitarian aid to the town of Amerli," said Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby.
"The United States Air Force delivered this aid alongside aircraft from Australia, France and the United Kingdom, who also dropped much needed supplies."
The aid drops came alongside "coordinated air strikes against nearby (IS) terrorists in order to support this humanitarian assistance operation", he added.
The American strikes were at least indirectly in support of an operation involving militia forces that previously fought against US troops in Iraq.
The US military also said Saturday it had launched air strikes on IS forces near Iraq's largest dam, north of the militant-held northern city of Mosul.
Kurdish forces retook the dam after briefly losing it to the jihadists earlier this month, securing the source of much of the power and irrigation water for the region around Iraq's second city.
Two suicide bombers targeted security forces on Sunday in Ramadi, a city west of Baghdad where Iraqi forces have struggled to regain control areas from militants.
The blasts killed 13 people and wounded 17, police and a doctor said.
The IS and its allies control significant areas north and west of Baghdad and in neighbouring northeastern Syria.
Washington has said that operations in Syria will be needed to defeat IS, but has so far ruled out any cooperation with the Damascus regime against the jihadists.
It has, however, attempted to enlist the support of long-time foe Tehran, a key backer of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged "a united response led by the United States and the broadest possible coalition of nations" to combat IS.
