Bush and the rapture wackos are on a crusade. Negotiation is cheaper in both blood and treasure.
Please forward widely. Nothing else is more important than a just peace in the Mideast.
Religious fundamentalists (Christian, Moslem, and Jewish) are hellbent on holy war. As are the oil companies.

Palestine Peace Not Apartheid is a New York Times Best Seller written by Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States (1977–1981) and winner of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, and published by Simon and Schuster in November 2006. ^[1] While President, Carter hosted talks between Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin in 1978 that led to a comprehensive peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, and, since his presidency, he has occasionally commented on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

In this book Carter argues that "Israel's continued control and colonization of Palestinian land have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Holy Land."^[2] That perspective, coupled with Apartheid in the titular phrase (which many regard as a subtitle) Peace Not Apartheid and complaints of errors and misstatements in the book, has raised great controversy throughout the mass media and academia and led to a total of 15 resignations from the Carter Center Board of Councilors and even widespread condemnation by representatives of the Democratic Party. ^{[3][4] [5]} Carter has defended his book against various charges ranging from "lies" and "distortions" to "anti-Semitism" while arguing its has received a favorable popular reception by readers "in the real world." ^[6]

[edit] 1 Purpose, main argument, and major points

[edit] 1.1 "The ultimate purpose"

"

The ultimate purpose of my book is to present facts about the Middle East that are largely unknown in America, to precipitate discussion and to help restart peace talks (now absent for six years) that can lead to permanent peace for Israel and its neighbors. Another hope is that Jews and other Americans who share this same goal might be motivated to express their views, even publicly, and perhaps in concert. I would be glad to help with that effort.[6]

"

[ edit] 1.2 Thesis: How to achieve "permanent peace in the Middle East"

Carter identifies "two interrelated obstacles to permanent peace in the Middle East":

[1] Some Israelis believe they have the right to confiscate and colonize Palestinian land and try to justify the sustained subjugation and persecution of increasingly hopeless and aggravated Palestinians; and
[2] Some Palestinians react by honoring suicide bombers as martyrs to be rewarded in heaven and consider the killing of Israelis as victories. ^[2]

To bring an end to what he calls "this continuing tragedy," in Chapter 17 ("Summary"), Carter calls for a revitalization of the peace process following these two "key requirements":

a. The security of Israel must be guaranteed. The Arabs must acknowledge openly and specifically that Israel is a reality and has a right to exist in peace, behind secure and recognized borders, and with a firm Arab pledge to terminate any further acts of violence against the legally constituted nation of Israel.
b. The internal debate within Israel must be resolved in order to define Israel's permanent legal boundary. The unwavering official policy of the United States since Israel became a state has been that its borders must coincide with those prevailing from 1949 until 1967 (unless modified by mutually agreeable land swaps), specified in the unanimously adopted U.N. Resolution 242, which mandates Israel's withdrawal from occupied territories. This obligation was reconfirmed by Israel's leaders in agreements negotiated in 1978 at Camp David and in 1993 at Oslo , for which they received the Nobel Peace Prize, and both of these commitments were officially ratified by the Israeli government. Also, as a member of the International Quartet that includes Russia, the United Nations, and the European Union, America supports the Roadmap for Peace, which espouses exactly the same requirements. Palestinian leaders unequivocally accepted this proposal, but Israel has officially rejected its key provisions with unacceptable caveats and prerequisites.^[2]

[edit] 1.3 "Some major points"

In his recent op-ed entitled "Reiterating the Keys to Peace," published in the Boston Globe on December 20, 2006, Jimmy Carter summarizes what he calls "[s]ome major points in the book":

• Multiple deaths of innocent civilians have occurred on both sides, and this violence and all terrorism must cease.
• For 39 years, Israel has occupied Palestinian land, and has confiscated and colonized hundreds of choice sites.
• Often excluded from their former homes, land, and places of worship, protesting Palestinians have been severely dominated and oppressed. There is forced segregation between Israeli settlers and Palestine's citizens, with a complex pass system required for Arabs to traverse Israel's multiple checkpoints.
• An enormous wall snakes through populated areas of what is left of the West Bank, constructed on wide swaths of bulldozed trees and property of Arab families, obviously designed to acquire more territory and to protect the Israeli colonies already built. ( Hamas declared a unilateral cease-fire in August 2004 as its candidates sought local and then national offices, which they claim is the reason for reductions in casualties to Israeli citizens.)
• Combined with this wall, Israeli control of the Jordan River Valley will completely enclose Palestinians in their shrunken and divided territory. Gaza is surrounded by a similar barrier with only two openings, still controlled by Israel. The crowded citizens have no free access to the outside world by air, sea, or land.
• The Palestinian people are now being deprived of the necessities of life by economic restrictions imposed on them by Israel and the United States because 42 percent voted for Hamas candidates in this year's election. Teachers, nurses, policemen, firemen, and other employees cannot be paid, and the UN has reported food supplies in Gaza equivalent to those among the poorest families in sub-Sahara Africa , with half the families surviving on one meal a day.
• Mahmoud Abbas, first as prime minister and now as president of the Palestinian National Authority and leader of the PLO, has sought to negotiate with Israel for almost six years, without success. Hamas leaders support such negotiations, promising to accept the results if approved by a Palestinian referendum.
• UN Resolutions, the Camp David Accords of 1978, the Oslo Agreement of 1993, official US Policy, and the International Roadmap for Peace are all based on the premise that Israel withdraw from occupied territories. Also, Palestinians must accept the same commitment made by the 23 Arab nations in 2002: to recognize Israel's right to live in peace within its legal borders. These are the two keys to peace. ^[7]

[edit ] 2 Critical reaction and commentary: Brief summary

See main article: Commentary on Palestine Peace Not Apartheid

Critical response to Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid has been mixed. Some journalists and academics have praised Carter for what they regard as his courage in speaking honestly about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a media environment which they believe to be hostile to opponents of Israel's policies. Others have been more negative. According to The New York Times, criticism of the book "has escalated to a full-scale furor," much of which has focused on Carter's use of the word " apartheid" in the subtitle. ^[8] Some of the book's critics, including several leaders of the Democratic Party and of American Jewish organizations, have interpreted the subtitle as an allegation of Israeli apartheid, which they believe to be inflammatory and unsubstantiated. ^{[9] [10]} Some reviewers have accused Carter of engaging in hyperbole throughout the book, placing too much of the burden of responsibility for what he regards as the plight and mistreatment of the Palestinians on Israel, and misrepresenting historical facts. ^{[11] [12]} One reviewer stresses that Carter's "overstatement" in the book "hardly adds up to anti-Semitism," as some American Jewish leaders have charged, and the national director of the Anti-Defamation League later said that he would not "call" the former president himself an "anti-Semite" or a "bigot". ^{[12] [13][14]} Several familiar with Israeli press reportage, including some Israeli politicians, argue that Carter's critique of Israeli policy in the Palestinian territories reflects that of many Israelis themselves. ^[15]

[edit ] 3 Carter's response to criticism of the book

Further information: #Public and other programs pertaining to the book and its reception

Carter has responded to negative reviews in the mainstream media in an op-ed published in the Los Angeles Times (which was excerpted in the London Guardian and elsewhere):

Book reviews in the mainstream media have been written mostly by representatives of Jewish organizations who would be unlikely to visit the occupied territories, and their primary criticism is that the book is anti-Israel. Two members of Congress have been publicly critical. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for instance, issued a statement (before the book was published) saying that "he does not speak for the Democratic Party on Israel." Some reviews posted on Amazon.com call me " anti-Semitic," and others accuse the book of "lies" and "distortions." A former Carter Center fellow has taken issue with it, and Alan Dershowitz called the book's title "indecent."

Out in the real world, however, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've signed books in five stores, with more than 1,000 buyers at each site. I've had one negative remark — that I should be tried for treason — and one caller on C-SPAN said that I was an anti-Semite. My most troubling experience has been the rejection of my offers to speak, for free, about the book on university campuses with high Jewish enrollment and to answer questions from students and professors. I have been most encouraged by prominent Jewish citizens and members of Congress who have thanked me privately for presenting the facts and some new ideas.^{[6] [16]}

According to a December 8, 2006 report by Greg Bluestein of the Associated Press, Carter replied generally to charges by Ross, Dershowitz, Stein, and others that his book contains errors and inaccuracies by pointing out that the Carter Center staff as well as an "unnamed 'distinguished' reporter" fact-checked it.^[17]

In a videotaped clip broadcast as part of the same segment on CNN's The Situation Room in which Dennis Ross was interviewed (December 8 , 2006), Carter responded to Ross's claim that maps in Palestine Peace Not Apartheid derive from maps published in his own book The Missing Peace . Carter said that he has "never seen" Ross's book and that the maps "came from an atlas that's publicly available." ^[18] According to CNN's correspondent Brian Todd, who comments on the video clip presented on The Situation Room on December 8, 2006, President Carter has identified the specific atlas as A Geopolitical Atlas of Palestine (January 2000): "We tried to contact the firm that Carter says he got those maps from, it's called the Applied Research Institute in Jerusalem[,] to see if they got those maps from Dennis Ross. We were unable to reach that company. A spokeswoman for President Carter's publisher, Simon and Schuster, says they are tracking all of these accusations, but they stand by the president's book. . . ." ^{[18] [19]}

On Larry King Live in late November 2006, Larry King quoted Alan Dershowitz's saying that Carter's "use of the loaded word 'apartheid'[,] suggesting an analogy to the hated policies of South Africa[,] is especially outrageous" and asked the former president: "What's the analogy? Why use the word apartheid?" Carter replied:

Well, he [Dershowitz] has to go to the first word in the title, which is "Palestine," not " Israel." He should go to the second word in the title, which is "Peace." And then the last two words [are] "Not Apartheid ." I never have alleged in the book or otherwise that Israel, as a nation, was guilty of apartheid. But there is a clear distinction between the policies within the nation of Israel and within the occupied territories that Israel controls[,] and the oppression of the Palestinians by Israeli forces in the occupied territories is horrendous. And it's not something that has been acknowledged or even discussed in this country. . . . (Italics added.)^[20]

With regard to the criticisms of Kenneth W. Stein, Carter has also pointed out "that Stein hadn't played a role in the Carter Center in 13 years and that his post as a fellow was an honorary title. 'When I decided to write this book, I didn't even think about involving Ken, from ancient times, to come in and help.'"^[17] Carter's biographer Douglas Brinkley has observed that Stein and Carter have a "passionate, up-and-down relationship" and that Stein has criticized some of Carter's previous statements about Israel.^[21] In response to Professor Stein's current criticism of the book, representatives of its publisher, Simon & Schuster, state: "We haven't seen these allegations, we haven't seen any specifics, and I have no way of assessing anything he [Stein] has said. . . . This is all about nothing. We stand behind the book fully, and the fact that there has been a divided reaction to it is not surprising."^[22]

As cited in various news accounts, "Carter has consistently defended his book's accuracy against Stein and other critics"; in a prepared statement, Carter's press secretary Deanna Congileo responds "that Carter had his book reviewed for accuracy throughout the writing process" and that "[a]s with all of President Carter's previous books, any detected errors will be corrected in later editions. . . ."^[23]

In response to the Associated Press's request for a comment on the aforementioned resignations of Stein and fourteen other members of the Center's Board of Councilors, speaking on behalf of both Carter and the Carter Center, Ms. Congileo also provided a statement from its executive director John Hardman, who, according to Zelkowitz, "also fact checked Palestine, saying that the members of that board "'are not engaged in implementing the work of the Center.'" ^{[23] [9]}

After receiving 25,000 petitions against his book presented to him by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, former President Carter sent a hand-written one-sentence note dated January 26, 2007, to the Center's dean and founder, Rabbi Marvin Hier, which the organization posted on its website, in which Carter states: "I don't believe that Simon Wiesenthal would have resorted to falsehood and slander to raise funds." ^[24] (Rabbi Hier's reply to Carter dated February 2, 2007, also appears on the website, reiterating his criticism of the book and declaring that he believes "that Simon Wiesenthal would have been as outraged by your book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, as I was.")

[edit ] 3.1 "A Letter to Jewish Citizens of America"

The Associated Press reports that, "[f]acing continuing controversy over his new book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," former President Jimmy Carter (through the Carter Center) "issued a letter . . . to American Jews explaining his use of the term ' apartheid' and sympathizing with Israelis who fear terrorism." ^[25] Jimmy Carter's "A Letter to Jewish Citizens of America" is posted on the website of the Carter Center."^[26] Further commentaries based on this letter are quoted by Kelly in his article "The Middle East: Are Critics of Israel Stifled?" in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of December 17, 2006.

[ edit] 3.2 "Reiterating the Keys to Peace" in the Middle East

In an op-ed published on December 20, 2006 in the Boston Globe, Carter rejects critics of his book as not actually having addressed the major points contained in it:

"

Not surprisingly, an examination of the book reviews and published comments reveals that these points have rarely if ever been mentioned by detractors of the book, much less denied or refuted. Instead, there has been a pattern of ad hominem statements, alleging that I am a liar, plagiarist, anti-Semite, racist, bigot, ignorant, etc. There are frequent denunciations of fabricated "straw man" accusations: that I have claimed that apartheid exists within Israel; that the system of apartheid in Palestine is based on racism; and that Jews control and manipulate the news media of America.[7]

"

Carter concludes:

"

As recommended by the Hamilton-Baker report, renewed negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians are a prime factor in promoting peace in the region. Although my book concentrates on the Palestinian territories, I noted that the report also recommended peace talks with Syria concerning the Golan Heights. Both recommendations have been rejected by Israel's prime minister. It is practically impossible for bitter antagonists to arrange a time, place, agenda, and procedures that are mutually acceptable, so an outside instigator/promoter is necessary. Successful peace talks were orchestrated by the United States in 1978-79 and by Norway in 1993 . If the American government is reluctant to assume such a unilateral responsibility, then an alternative is the International Quartet (United States, Russia, the United Nations, and the European Union) –– still with American leadership. An overwhelming majority of citizens of Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Palestine want peace, with justice for all who live in the Holy Land. It will be a shame if the world community fails to help them reach this goal. [7]

"

[edit ] 4 Public and other programs pertaining to the book

Carter has said that debate on issues concerning Israel is silenced in the U.S. media because of lobbying efforts by the pro-Israel lobby:

[M]any controversial issues concerning Palestine and the path to peace for Israel are intensely debated among Israelis and throughout other nations — but not in the United States. . . . This reluctance to criticize any policies of the Israeli government is because of the extraordinary lobbying efforts of the American-Israel Political Action Committee [sic] and the absence of any significant contrary voices." ^{[6] [16]}

He stresses that through the debate among others that he hopes this book will stimulate and through his own related public-speaking and media appearances, he hopes to tear down the "impenetrable wall" that stops the American people from seeing the plight of Palestinians.^{[6] [16]}

[edit] 4.1 Brandeis University visit

In early December 2006 Brandeis University invited Carter to visit the university to debate his book with Alan Dershowitz: "Brandeis president Jehuda Reinharz said he agreed with a trustee's suggestion to invite Carter last month [December 2006], if Carter were willing to debate one of his most outspoken critics, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz." ^[27]

But Carter declined that invitation, explaining:

"I don't want to have a conversation even indirectly with Dershowitz. There is no need to for me to debate somebody who, in my opinion, knows nothing about the situation in Palestine." The school's debate request, Carter said, is proof that many in the United States are unwilling to hear an alternative view on the nation's most taboo foreign policy issue, Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory.... "There is no debate in America about anything that would be critical of Israel," he said.^[27]

Dershowitz has criticized Carter's refusal to debate him: "Carter's refusal to debate wouldn't be so strange if it weren't for the fact that he claims that he wrote the book precisely so as to start debate over the issue of the Israel-Palestine peace process. If that were really true, Carter would be thrilled to have the opportunity to debate."^[28]

According to an article entitled "Brandeis Group Pursues Carter Visit: Professors Call Debate an Insult," published in the Boston Globe on December 22, 2006, however:

Patricia Johnston, a professor of classics, said she and many colleagues have offered to chip in perhaps $100 each to pay for whatever travel and security costs a Carter visit would entail. "Who is Alan Dershowitz?" Johnston said. Carter "is the former president of the United States, who has done so much to further the cause of peace in the Middle East and elsewhere. It's an insult to suggest that he should have to defend himself that way." She said she envisioned Carter giving a traditional speech and taking audience questions.^[29]

On December 26, 2006, WCVB-TV (an ABC-TV affiliate), reports that "[a]bout 100 students, faculty and alumni of Brandeis University have signed an online petition to push the administration to bring former President Carter to campus to discuss his new book on Palestine, without being required to debate it." ^[30]

The Boston Globe reports that since it initially revealed "that Carter felt unwelcome on the Waltham campus, people have argued over whether he is unwilling to answer for his views, or whether Brandeis, which was founded by the American Jewish community, can't tolerate criticism of Israel. The latter is a view that some professors hope they can dispel by reviving the Carter visit."^[29] "The main organizer of the effort, according to other professors, is Gordon Fellman, a sociologist who is chairman of Brandeis's program in peace, conflict, and coexistence studies...."^[29] David Gil, a professor of social policy, is suggesting that "Brandeis should choose Carter's book next year [2007-2008] as the work that all incoming freshmen read over the summer and discuss it during orientation. Carter could visit to talk with them about it," Professor Gil says, and he "also has decided to assign the book in his spring [2007] seminar.^[29]

On January 10, 2007, it was reported that President Carter would discuss Palestine Peace Not Apartheid at Brandeis University but that he would "not, however, debate the book with" Dershowitz. ^[9] Brandeis officials reported that Carter would "be the first former president to visit Brandeis since Harry Truman delivered the commencement address in 1957.... It will be Carter's first visit to a university to discuss the book, [Carter's spokeswoman Deanna] Congileo said," confirming also "the president has set no conditions and would answer as many questions as possible"; Carter plans to "speak for about 15 minutes and then answer questions for 45 minutes during the visit." The speech, which occurred on January 23, 2007, was "closed to the public and limited to 'members of the university community only'"; nevertheless, Dershowitz said that he still planned to "attend and question Carter": "'I will be the first person to have my hand up to ask him a question,' he said. 'I guarantee that they won't stop me from attending.'"^[31] On January 18, 2007, Fox News and other news outlets reported that Brandeis announced that while Dershowitz could not attend Carter's speech, after it ended, he would have the stage for a "rebuttal."^[32]

Further information: Alan Dershowitz#Jimmy Carter's book Palestine Peace Not Apartheid

Streaming video of the speech (15 minutes), the question-and-answer period (45 minutes), followed by Dershowitz's rebuttal (one hour), have been posted on the Brandeis University website, as has been a transcript of Carter's remarks and ten of the questions and answers, preceded by a related student newspaper article.^[3]

The day after the speech, on January 24, 2007, The New York Times reported on the program in "At Brandeis, Jimmy Carter Responds to Critics": "Questions were preselected by the committee that invited Mr. Carter, and the questioners included an Israeli student and a Palestinian student.... After Mr. Carter left, Mr. Dershowitz spoke in the same gymnasium, saying that the former president oversimplified the situation and that his conciliatory and sensible-sounding speech at Brandeis belied his words in some other interviews."^[33] According to David Weber, of ABC News, Carter said "that he stood by the book and its title, that he apologized for what he called an 'improper and stupid' sentence in the book [which he acknowledged seemed to justify terrorism by saying that suicide bombings should end when Israel accepts the goals of the road map to peace with Palestinians and which he had already instructed his publisher to remove from its future editions,] and that he had been disturbed by accusations that he was anti-Semitic.... [Carter]...acknowledged...that 'Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid' has 'caused great concern in the Jewish community,' but noted that it has nonetheless prompted discussion."^{[34] [35][5]} An editorial published in the Waltham, Massachusetts newspaper, the Daily News Tribune, concludes: "Carter succeeded in bringing to Brandeis a productive, civil debate." ^[36] Videotaped excerpts from Carter's visit to Brandeis were featured on several national news programs in the United States, such as NBC's morning program Today, along with follow-up interviews with him.^[37]

As a result of the visit, major donors told Brandeis University that they will no longer give it money in "retaliation", said Stuart Eizenstat, a Brandeis trustee. According to Brandeis student Kevin Montgomery, who lead the Student Committee to bring Jimmy Carter to Brandeis, the Brandeis University Development and Alumni Relations office had expected, prior to Carter's visit, to lose $5 million due to the visit. ^[38]

[edit] 4.2 "He Comes In Peace"

According to the Boston Globe, Jonathan Demme "has been filming Carter for three months to compile footage for a documentary about the former president's book and Carter's efforts to increase debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."^[39] Time Out London reports that the film, entitled "He Comes in Peace," "follows the former President as he takes part in a book tour across America to publicise his new tome, 'Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid'."^[40] While it granted camera access to members of the news media for their broadcasts, Brandeis University refused a request from Demme to film Carter's January 2007 speech for the end of the film, citing logistical and legal considerations.^[39]

[edit] 4.3 Carter Center Conversation

On February 22, 2007, former President Jimmy Carter participated in a "conversation" about Palestine Peace Not Apartheid with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright at the Carter Center , moderated by Conflict Resolution Program Director Matthew Hodes. The event became sold out in early January 2007. ^[41]
