>>>Having said that, he's benefitting from an immunotherapy drug, Keytruda, which was developed in Israel... Carter is a strong anti-Israel activist - he supports boycotts, divestments, and sanctions against Israel and has even called Israel an apartheid-like state. So he is essentially lobbying aggressively against the very country whose medical technology is improving his life.

>Sorry to rain on the parade- but Keytruda was not developed in Israel. Originally it was invented by 3 boffins at Organon in Walter's homeland of the Netherlands, then Organon was bought by Shering-Plough in California, then the drug was humanized by Merck, and then Schering-Plough was bought by (merged into) Merck with headquarters in New Jersey. There were clinical trials done in Israel, but in other places too.

Don't let reality spoil a good - well lame actually - story.
