Carter says U.S. Presidential envoys have been ‘professional lobbyists for Israel’

It's a brave new world. Jimmy Carter goes on Al-Jazeera to talk to Riz Khan, and I can watch him on my computer.  Here's a reference to Dennis Ross and Martin Indyk:

[I]n the previous 16 years, most of the envoys for the president in the Mid East have been openly and publicly committed to Israel's side. Some of them have been professional lobbyists for Israel. George Mitchell is a different person…

Al-Jazeera quotes another statement by Carter:

 "The fact is that very few of
the presidents have been willing to confront Israel's forces in the
United States, politically speaking," Carter said in what appeared to
be a reference to the powerful Israeli lobby.
