From “Jimmy Carter’s Disingenuous Diplomacy” in The Jewish Press:
Responsible people will ignore Carter’s attempt to tar and feather
Israel with the word “apartheid.” . . . . But Carter has done something even worse in his book: He egregiously misstates both the relevant diplomatic history and the long-standing U.S. diplomatic position, and then he blames Israel for not complying with it — demonizing Israel even more insidiously.
The article reviews the diplomatic history underlying UN Security Council Resolution 242, the Road Map, and the Presidential Letter of April 14, 2004 to Israel.
Like Walt & Mearsheimer, Carter he is entitled to his own opinions, but not his own facts.
UPDATE:
Jason Maoz on “Jimmy Carter’s Jewish Problem”
Carter’s hostility was evident to Israeli foreign minister Moshe Dayan, who in his memoir Breakthrough described a July 1977 White House meeting between Carter and Israeli officials. . . . “Our talk,” Dayan wrote, “lasted more than an hour and was most unpleasant. President Carter … launched charge after charge against
Israel.”
Alan Dershowitz, “The World According to Jimmy Carter” (Hmmm, catchy title)
Palestinian terrorism is virtually missing from Carter’s entire historical account . . . . The long history of Palestinian terrorism against Jews — which began in 1929 when the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem ordered the slaughter of more than 100 rabbis, students and non-Zionist Sfardim whose families had lived in Hebron and other ancient Jewish cities for millennia . . . . [T]he long history of Palestinian terrorism before the occupation, or of the
Munich massacre and others inspired by Arafat. . . . The Carter book is so filled with simple mistakes of fact and deliberate omissions that were it a brief filed in a court of law it would be struck and its author sanctioned for misleading the court.
Michael Jacobs, “Carter’s Book a Distorted View of Israel”
"
Palestine: Peace not Apartheid" is a poorly written, poorly argued, nonsensical little book, and it’s the most dangerous weapon Israel has faced in a year full of fighting.
David J. Forman, “Jimmy Carter, Go Back to Your Peanut Farm”
“I look at the cover . . . and ask myself, would it not have been far more appropriate had Carter, instead of superimposing his own humble presence over the wall, superimposed a replica of the hundreds of memorial plaques that dot Israeli bus stops, restaurants, supermarkets, malls and synagogues where Palestinian suicide bombers carried out their acts of murder?”
The book is, as I said, a libel.
