Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This volume reviews many of the material errors made in Jimmy Carter's book and often repeated in interviews. It includes articles by a number of analysts with expertise in commenting on Carter s policies, statements and perspectives. Kenneth Stein, Dennis Ross, Michael Oren, Alan Dershowitz, Melvin Konner and Rachel Ehrenfeld each offer important insight about the former president's lamentable distortions.
The book is an opportunity to restate essential facts and to underscore the need for reform of publishing houses, such as Simon and Schuster, that violate basic standards of accuracy, while promoting and profiting from such non-fiction books.

I am now quite ashamed of having voted for mr carter,
as well as previously having had a high level of respect for his work.
I had no idea he could lack common-sense and geopolitical awareness to such a high degree. I must ascribe some of this to his age.
Also, I believe that there is now a case to be made for ignoring
any book from the Simon & Shuster editorial environment. I will avoid
Simon & Shuster publications the rest of my life.

I recently saw a documentary on Jimmy Carter which spent a lot of time
on the Apartheid book and this particular issue. The arrogant Dershowitz made several appearances in this documentary.
I confess to really not being able to stand Dershowitz so I am probably
not being fair here. But he along with others start out with the premise
that THIS LAND IS OURS and not all of us start out with this premise at
all. Rather than going through the various arguments in this book (I
don't own it so I don't have it at hand), I will address one of the
issues that Dershowitz brought up and has on many occasions. He said
that the Germans elected Hitler in a fair election and therefore the
Germans deserved what they got including the continuing approbation by
the world. And he is putting the Hamas in the same light. That party
was elected fairly and squarely by the Palestinians and therefore they
deserve whatever they get now.
What I never heard mention in his argument was that until that bulldog
Sharon decided to make his march on the Temple Mount shortly before or
after 9/11, many more Palestinians were dying from attacks from the
Israelis than vice versa. I watched on tv homes being bulldozed because
a suspected criminal was in the home and other horrible atrocities.
I think that the same reasoning applies. Hamas came into power because
of Israeli treatment of the Palestinian people and therefore, by
Dershowitz' reasoning, the Israelis are getting what they asked for.

First of all, aside from all the Palestinians, how many so far A deafening silence: in Israel, is it now okay to kill Americans? (Peacemaking).(implications of recent death and injuries of peace activists in Israel): An article from: Sojourners
The authors of this scary garbage seem to have a lesson right from the worst bigots and racists of horror history. The fact that these writers, ACTUALLY, believe what they have written in this ridiclous book is very, very, very scary!!! Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History
Bottom line is that the Israelis must go back to the '67 borders and stop the daily genocide of helpless Palestinian children. Stop destroying their homes and stealing their land and spirit. Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, New and Revised Edition
This propaganda book tries desperately and pathetically to get blood from a rock and distort the truth. These writers and questionable reviewers are grasping for the good old days, when these kinds of writings were never questioned. Media Control, Second Edition: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda (Open Media)
Fortunately, the truth is now being more and more exposed about the ongoing Palestinian Holocaust. Jimmy Carter's: Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid along with Jimmy Carter Man from Plains were my intro into this whole mess.
Mearsheimer/Wald's: The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy confirmed all of Carterss' writings but took it to a whole other level. Carters' Movie is also incredible!!!
This book is so sad. These authors and reviewers are in a losing cause, as "The truth will set you free." Thank you Mr. Carter, for giving the world more hope for peace. Please read Rachel Corrie, a young American college student who was also murdered by the Israelis while trying to stop yet "ANOTHER CASE OF JEWISH SAVAGERY!

This would be the perfect book---brief, well-documented (unlike Jimmy Carter's patchwork of lies) and accurate---for a recent interlocutor, if only he would read.
We no doubt all know those who lay claim to open mindedness while relying on the basest modern blood libels against the Jewish people, generated by anti-Semites of Islamic and other varieties.
As others here have noted, Israel neither segregates nor discriminates on the basis of race, religion or anything else. This 100-page booklet puts to shame both the former U.S. President and his publisher, Simon and Schuster. The book includes text segments from such luminaries as historian Michael Oren, American Center for Democracy director Rachel Ehrenfeld, former peace negotiator Dennis Ross, former Carter Center executive director Kenneth Stein, and Dexter von Zile.
Chapter one, 37 pages, exposes a host of Carter's most egregious errors concerning international borders, agreements, Jewish settlements, Israel-Arab negotiations and Israel's societal structure and composition.
For example, Carter never mentions the seven refusals of Palestinian Arabs to accept their own state on a portion of Israel's land---in the 1920s, in 1936, in 1948, in 1967, in 1974, in 1978 and in 2000. Meanwhile, however, he virtually ignores nine decades of Arab terrorism against Jewish communities in both the pre- and post-1948 periods, which took upwards of 10,000 Jewish lives while denying even grudging acceptance of Israel's internationally-granted statehood.
Furthermore, despite Carter's claims to the contrary, neither UN Resolution 242, Camp David Accords nor Oslo Agreement requires Israel to withdraw to its 1948 armistice lines. Rather, Resolution 242 asks Israel to withdraw from "territory" in exchange for peace, but leaves the extent of the withdrawal open. Neither does the Camp David Accord define Israel's borders either, instead leaving to final negotiations the resolution of respective boundaries between Israel and the West Bank and Gaza. Likewise, Oslo Agreement Article XVII, 1, (a) includes "borders" as an issue for permanent status negotiations.
Nevertheless, Israel did grant meaningful autonomy to Palestinians; the 1993 Oslo process established the Palestinian Authority, gave it 40% of the West Bank and 100% of Gaza----plus PA governmental political, security, civic, medical, educational and media controls.
All of this notwithstanding (despite Carter's denials), the PLO even now seeks Israel's demise. And counter to both international law and popular opinion, the 1964 PLO charter pronounces the 1947 partition plan and Israel's 1948 establishment illegal; its 1968 charter claims all of "Palestine" --- i.e. Israel, and the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip. Actually, the PLO itself has admitted that it never formally amended either of these documents.
Carter blames Israel for the 1967 war, despite Egypt's unilateral May 1967 blockade of Israel's international Gulf of Aqaba port at Eilat, and its expulsion of United Nations peace keeping forces from the Sinai, where Nasser's commanders massed 100,000 soldiers and thousands of tanks, with the promise to annihilate Israel. The blockade alone was a casus belli, as was the unilateral expulsion of international troops from Sinai. Moreover, despite urgent Israeli requests that Jordan stay out of the fighting, Jordan launched thousands of rockets on Jerusalem, and then launched an aerial war.
U.S. peace negotiator Dennis Ross drew up the maps for Camp David II, and here testifies that the two maps Carter presents as the Palestinian and Israeli "interpretations" of Clinton's 2000 proposal are false as well. The actual maps Ross presented were detailed, specific and very generous, he says---not vague or unjust as Carter pretends.
In 1990, Ken Stein attended on Carter's visit to Damascus, at which the late Syrian President, Hafez al-Assad, swore that Syria would never compromise its sovereignty over the Golan. In other words, far from agreeing to negotiate with Israel over the Golan as Carter falsely claims, Assad totally rejected this request.
Why Carter might so greatly compromise the truth is exposed in an article citing Ehrenfeld's Dec. 21, 2006 piece from the Washington Times, "Carter's Arab Financiers." Indeed, the 2006 Carter Center Annual report revealed its assets of $412.4 million, "a strikingly large figure for a non-profit organization," whose donors include Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the Sultanate of Oman, Saudi Arabia's BinLaden Group, the United Arab Emirates government, and so on.
Such donations rest on a considerable foundation of religious animus for the Jewish people, as brilliantly exposed by Dr. Andrew Bostom's latest scholarship. And they generally come with strings attached.
But Carter's own Christian fundamentalism also serves ... Read More

The subtitle of Jimmy Carter's book on Israel, "Peace not Apartheid", implies that Israel discriminates on the basis of race. This is the very first in a web of lies, distortions and half-truths that render Carter's book nothing but a piece of propaganda. Countering falsehood with fact, this publication contains contributions by inter alia Kenneth Stein, Rachel Ehrenfeld, Dennis Ross, Michael Oren, Alan Dershowitz, Melvin Konner and Dexter von Zile. The very first part exposes the worst of Carter's factual errors about issues like borders, international agreements, settlements, negotiations and the nature of Israeli society.
He deliberately minimizes terrorist violence against Israel and ignores the refusal of its enemies to recognize the Jewish State's right to life. Carter claims that Israel's withdrawal to the 1967 border is specified in UN Resolution 242 and promised in the Camp David Accords and Oslo Agreement. But in truth none of these documents requires a return to those vulnerable pre-1967 armistice lines. Resolution 242 calls on Israel to withdraw from territory in exchange for peace without detailing the extent of withdrawal. The Camp David Accords do not define Israel's borders either but state that negotiations concerning the West Bank and Gaza must resolve, among other matters, the final boundaries. Article XVII, 1, (a) of the Oslo Agreements included "borders" as one of the issues for the permanent status negotiations.
Carter complains that important provisions of the Camp David agreement have not been honored, accusing Israel of never having granted any meaningful autonomy to the Palestinians. But after 1993 the Oslo process established the Palestinian Authority with control of political, security, civic, medical, educational and media institutions. Israel ceded 40 percent of the West Bank and eventually the whole of the Gaza Strip. Carter denies that the PLO has called for the annihilation of Israel. But its 1964 founding charter declares the 1947 partitioning of Palestine and establishment of Israel as illegal whilst the 1968 charter identifies "Palestine" as all of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Israel.
In Carter's revisionist history, Israel is blamed for the 1967 war. He alleges that Israel launched preemptive attacks on Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Jordan on 5th June. But in May that year Egypt expelled the United Nations Emergency Force from the Sinai , deployed 100,000 soldiers there and blockaded Israel's port of Eilat and the Gulf of Aqaba, a vital trade route and oil lifeline. Blockading an international waterway is an act of war under international law. Neither did Israel initiate hostilities against Syria, Jordan or Iraq. When fighting with Egypt broke out, Jordan started shelling the Israeli heartland. Despite this, Israel pleaded with King Hussein to stay out of the war. He responded with aerial attacks.
Two of the maps in Carter's book are titled: "Palestinian Interpretation of Clinton's Proposal 2000" and "Israeli Interpretation of Clinton's Proposal 2000." This is untrue as Dennis Ross, the US peace negotiator who drew up the original maps, explains. And deceptive: any reader ignorant of the origin of the maps would conclude that the Clinton proposals were so vague and unfair that Arafat had no choice but to reject them.
Carter claims that during his 1990 Damascus visit, President Assad showed a willingness to negotiate the status of the Golan Heights, proposing that both sides withdraw from the international border. Kenneth Stein, former executive director of the Carter Center, was present. According to his notes Assad replied to a question by Carter that Syria would never compromise its sovereignty by accepting a demilitarized Golan. Carter claims that Israeli courts consider as admissible confessions extracted through torture. Not so! If an accused claims that confession resulted from torture, the "mishpat zuta" applies - a trial within a trial where the prosecution must prove that torture was not applied. If it cannot be disproved, the confession becomes null and void. All methods of interrogation are subject to the primacy of the defendant's free will.
Articles that I found particularly illuminating are those on Carter's Arab financiers by Rachel Ehrenfeld, on religious issues by Michael B. Oren and on Carter's faith by Dexter Van Zile. Although they may know about the World Council of Churches' hostility to Israel, most Christians are completely unaware of their religion's long history of antisemitism by all three major groups: Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox. For more information, I recommend the brilliant if spiritually harrowing work Christian Antisemitism by William Nicholls as well as Future Israel: Why Christian Anti-Judaism Must be Challenged by Barry Horner. Paul Charles Merkley's comparative study Christian Attitudes Towards the State of Israel is another most informative source.
