Christian Zionist's Crusade Bears Fruit

Bill Berkowitz*

OAKLAND, California, Feb 22 (IPS) - During a recent appearance on the Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" programme, Mike Evans accused former President Jimmy Carter of everything from helping overthrow the Shah of Iran to causing the Russians to invade Afghanistan and provoking the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat.
He also had words of warning for President Barack Obama: listen to Carter at your own peril. "Jimmy Carter has an ideological belief system that Obama has to understand because if he plays that game we are going to have hell to pay for it," Evans said.

The long hard slog that former Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld often talked about in reference to the war in Iraq has been fully embraced by Evans. However, he is primarily consumed with Israel, the Palestinians and Iran.

The media-savvy, well-connected and well-traveled conservative evangelical Christian Zionist - with several bestselling books to his name and a bent for the hyperbolic - has for years opposed Bush's road map to peace in the Middle East, a two-state solution, and a divided Jerusalem. He has also been warning the world about the danger that Iran poses and the necessity of a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities by either the U.S. or Israel.

These days, as the world awaits the formation of a new Israeli government - likely to be headed by Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party and possibly in partnership with Kadima's Tzipi Livni - Evans has honed in on another of his favourite targets: former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

Evans has written a new book titled "Jimmy Carter: The Liberal Left and World Chaos" - the only book thus far published by his TimeWorthy Books - which is a sharp rebuke of President Carter's efforts at working for a peaceful solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict.
