Jimmy Carter was one of the US presidents who wasn’t in the pocket of AIPAC. This was back when his book 'Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid' dropped while he was in Israel, and the title alone made it controversial there.
When Carter said he wanted to go into the Palestinian territory, the Israeli government told him it was too dangerous and they wouldn’t be able to protect him if he went. He went anyway. A former American president walking through with little to no security while thousands of Palestinians were cheering him on.
That moment show how decent and compassionate man he was.

Do you know when you deposit money, you literally lend the bank money?
There’s no such thing as a bank deposit in the way most people think. What you call a deposit is simply a loan you give the bank. You hand over credit, the bank records a debt to you, and that debt shows up as your balance. So you’re the lender.
The same thing happens on the other side. Banks don’t lend money in the ordinary sense. When you take a loan, you issue an IOU, a debt instrument, and the bank buys that security. No cash is transferred. The bank just credits your account. They may say “we’ve transferred it,” but nothing moves. Your account is simply credited. That’s the actual legal status of what people call deposits and loans.

Do you know Germany has paid over €85 billion in public compensation for Nazi persecution victims, most of it to Jewish Holocaust survivors. And just in 2026 they will pay another $1.08 billion allocation for home care, making it one of the largest budgets for home care in the history of Holocaust reparations.
Now you know why the number of living Holocaust survivors keeps increasing every year.
