"I have been called a liar," Carter said at a town hall meeting on the second day of a three-day symposium on his presidency at the University of Georgia.
"I have been called an anti-Semite," he said. "I have been called a bigot. I have been called a plagiarist. I have been called a coward. Those kind of accusations, they concern me, but they don't detract from the fact the book is accurate and is needed." snip
"Israel needs peace and the Palestinian people need peace and justice and I hope my limited influence will help to precipitate some steps," he said.

Resignation of 14 more Carter Center Board Members
Letters Sent by Carter Board Members
January 11, 2007 10:34 a.m.
Below, the text of two letters sent Thursday, Jan. 11,
by members of the Carter Center Board of Councilors.
Dear fellow member of the Carter Center Board of
Councilors,
This has been a difficult time for us. As members of
the Board of Councilors of the Carter Center we have
endeavored to promote the efforts of the Carter Center
in our community. However, the recent book authored by
President Carter "Palestine; Peace not Apartheid" and
his comments in the press made while promoting the
book have given us pause in our efforts. We are deeply
troubled by the President's comments and writings and
are submitting the following letter of resignation to
the Carter Center. We wanted to inform you, our fellow
Board members, of our actions and encourage you to
contact us if you have any questions regarding our
resignation.
* * *
Dear President Carter,
As members of the Board of Councilors each one of us
has been proud to be associated with the Carter Center
in its noble struggle to repair the world. However, in
light of the publication of your latest book
Palestine; Peace Not Apartheid and your subsequent
comments made in promoting the book, we can no longer
in good conscience continue to serve the Center as
members of the Board of Councilors.
In its work in conflict resolution the Carter Center
has always played the useful and constructive role of
honest broker and mediator between warring parties. In
your book, which portrays the conflict between Israel
and her neighbors as a purely one-sided affair with
Israel holding all of the responsibility for resolving
the conflict, you have clearly abandoned your historic
role of broker in favor of becoming an advocate for
one side.
The facts in dealing with the conflict are these:
There are two national narratives contesting one piece
of land. The Israelis, through deed and public
comment, have consistently spoken of a desire to live
in peace and make territorial compromise to achieve
this status. The Palestinian side has consistently
resorted to acts of terror as a national expression
and elected parties endorsing the use of terror, the
rejection of territorial compromise and of Israel's
right to exist. Palestinian leaders have had chances
since 1947 to have their own state, including during
your own presidency when they snubbed your efforts.
Your book has confused opinion with fact, subjectivity
with objectivity and force for change with partisan
advocacy. Furthermore the comments you have made the
past few weeks insinuating that there is a monolith of
Jewish power in America are most disturbing and must
be addressed by us. In our great country where freedom
of expression is basic bedrock you have suddenly
proclaimed that Americans cannot express their opinion
on matters in the Middle East for fear of retribution
from the "Jewish Lobby" In condemning the Jews of
America you also condemn Christians and others for
their support of Israel. Is any interest group to be
penalized for participating in the free and open
political process that is America? Your book and
recent comments suggest you seem to think so.
In the past you would inject yourself into this world
to moderate between the two sides in the pursuit of
peace and as a result you earned our admiration and
support. Now you repeatedly make false claims. You
wrote that UN Security Council Resolution 242 says
that "Israel must withdraw from territories" (p. 38),
but you know the word "must" in fact is not in the
resolution. You said that since Mahmoud Abbas has been
in office there have been no peace discussions. That
is wrong. You wrote that Yassir Arafat told you in
1990 that, "The PLO has never advocated the
annihilation of Israel" (p. 62). Given that their
Charter, which explicitly calls for Israel's
destruction, was not revised until the late 1990s, how
could you even write such a claim as if it were
credible?
You denied on Denver radio on December 12 that
Palestinian Prime Minister Haniyah said he would never
accept or negotiate with Israel. However the BBC
monitoring service reported just the opposite. In fact
Haniyah said: "We will never recognize the usurper
Zionist government and will continue our jihadist
movement until Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) and the
Al-Aqsa Mosque are liberated. When presented with this
fact you said, "No he didn't say that, no he did not
do that, I did not hear that." These are not points of
opinion, these are points of fact.
And finally, it is a disturbing statement to write:
"that it is imperative, that the general Arab
community and all significant Palestinian groups make
it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and
other acts of terrorism when international laws and
the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are
accepted by Israel." In this sentence you clearly
suggest that you are condoning violence against
Israelis until they do certain things ( p.213). Your
use of the word "Apartheid," regardless of your
disclaimers, has already energized white supremacist
groups who thrive on asserting Jewish control of
government and foreign policy, an insinuation you made
in your OPED to the LA Times on December 8, 2006: "For
the last 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced
the severe restraints on any free and balanced
discussion of the facts." According to Web site
monitoring by the Anti-Defamation League, U.S. white
supremacists have enthusiastically embraced your
suggestion that the Israe l lobby stifles debate in
this country, saying it confirms Jewish control of
government and foreign policy as well as and the
inherently "evil" nature of Jews. If you doubt the
support you are giving and receiving, please refer to:
From there you can get to the postings of four
different White Supremacist organizations that both
support and make use of the contents of your book and
what you have said in public.
As a result it seems that you have turned to a world
of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy. We can
no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising
position. This is not the Carter Center or the Jimmy
Carter we came to respect and support. Therefore it is
with sadness and regret that we hereby tender our
resignation from the Board of Councilors of the Carter
Center effective immediately.
Both letters were signed by the following board
members:

Michael Coles
Jon Golden
Doug Hertz

resolution. You said that since Mahmoud Abbas has been
in office there have been no peace discussions. That
is wrong. You wrote that Yassir Arafat told you in
1990 that, "The PLO has never advocated the
annihilation of Israel" (p. 62). Given that their
Charter, which explicitly calls for Israel's
destruction, was not revised until the late 1990s, how
could you even write such a claim as if it were
credible?
You denied on Denver radio on December 12 that
Palestinian Prime Minister Haniyah said he would never
accept or negotiate with Israel. However the BBC
monitoring service reported just the opposite. In fact
Haniyah said: "We will never recognize the usurper
Zionist government and will continue our jihadist
movement until Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) and the
Al-Aqsa Mosque are liberated. When presented with this
fact you said, "No he didn't say that, no he did not
do that, I did not hear that." These are not points of
opinion, these are points of fact.
And finally, it is a disturbing statement to write:
"that it is imperative, that the general Arab
community and all significant Palestinian groups make
it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and
other acts of terrorism when international laws and
the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are
accepted by Israel." In this sentence you clearly
suggest that you are condoning violence against
Israelis until they do certain things ( p.213). Your
use of the word "Apartheid," regardless of your
disclaimers, has already energized white supremacist
groups who thrive on asserting Jewish control of
government and foreign policy, an insinuation you made
in your OPED to the LA Times on December 8, 2006: "For
the last 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced
the severe restraints on any free and balanced
discussion of the facts." According to Web site
monitoring by the Anti-Defamation League, U.S. white
supremacists have enthusiastically embraced your
suggestion that the Israe l lobby stifles debate in
this country, saying it confirms Jewish control of
government and foreign policy as well as and the
inherently "evil" nature of Jews. If you doubt the
support you are giving and receiving, please refer to:
From there you can get to the postings of four
different White Supremacist organizations that both
support and make use of the contents of your book and
what you have said in public.
As a result it seems that you have turned to a world
of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy. We can
no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising
position. This is not the Carter Center or the Jimmy
Carter we came to respect and support. Therefore it is
with sadness and regret that we hereby tender our
resignation from the Board of Councilors of the Carter
Center effective immediately.

Resignation of 14 more Carter Center Board Members
Letters Sent by Carter Board Members
January 11, 2007 10:34 a.m.
Below, the text of two letters sent Thursday, Jan. 11,
by members of the Carter Center Board of Councilors.
Dear fellow member of the Carter Center Board of
Councilors,
This has been a difficult time for us. As members of
the Board of Councilors of the Carter Center we have
endeavored to promote the efforts of the Carter Center
in our community. However, the recent book authored by
President Carter "Palestine; Peace not Apartheid" and
his comments in the press made while promoting the
book have given us pause in our efforts. We are deeply
troubled by the President's comments and writings and
are submitting the following letter of resignation to
the Carter Center. We wanted to inform you, our fellow
Board members, of our actions and encourage you to
contact us if you have any questions regarding our
resignation.
* * *
Dear President Carter,
As members of the Board of Councilors each one of us
has been proud to be associated with the Carter Center
in its noble struggle to repair the world. However, in
light of the publication of your latest book
Palestine; Peace Not Apartheid and your subsequent
comments made in promoting the book, we can no longer
in good conscience continue to serve the Center as
members of the Board of Councilors.
In its work in conflict resolution the Carter Center
has always played the useful and constructive role of
honest broker and mediator between warring parties. In
your book, which portrays the conflict between Israel
and her neighbors as a purely one-sided affair with
Israel holding all of the responsibility for resolving
the conflict, you have clearly abandoned your historic
role of broker in favor of becoming an advocate for
one side.
The facts in dealing with the conflict are these:
There are two national narratives contesting one piece
of land. The Israelis, through deed and public
comment, have consistently spoken of a desire to live
in peace and make territorial compromise to achieve
this status. The Palestinian side has consistently
resorted to acts of terror as a national expression
and elected parties endorsing the use of terror, the
rejection of territorial compromise and of Israel's
right to exist. Palestinian leaders have had chances
since 1947 to have their own state, including during
your own presidency when they snubbed your efforts.
Your book has confused opinion with fact, subjectivity
with objectivity and force for change with partisan
advocacy. Furthermore the comments you have made the
past few weeks insinuating that there is a monolith of
Jewish power in America are most disturbing and must
be addressed by us. In our great country where freedom
of expression is basic bedrock you have suddenly
proclaimed that Americans cannot express their opinion
on matters in the Middle East for fear of retribution
from the "Jewish Lobby" In condemning the Jews of
America you also condemn Christians and others for
their support of Israel. Is any interest group to be
penalized for participating in the free and open
political process that is America? Your book and
recent comments suggest you seem to think so.
In the past you would inject yourself into this world
to moderate between the two sides in the pursuit of
peace and as a result you earned our admiration and
support. Now you repeatedly make false claims. You
wrote that UN Security Council Resolution 242 says
that "Israel must withdraw from territories" (p. 38),
but you know the word "must" in fact is not in the
resolution. You said that since Mahmoud Abbas has been
in office there have been no peace discussions. That
is wrong. You wrote that Yassir Arafat told you in
1990 that, "The PLO has never advocated the
annihilation of Israel" (p. 62). Given that their

contact us if you have any questions regarding our
resignation.

Dear President Carter,
As members of the Board of Councilors each one of us
has been proud to be associated with the Carter Center
in its noble struggle to repair the world. However, in
light of the publication of your latest book
Palestine; Peace Not Apartheid and your subsequent
comments made in promoting the book, we can no longer
in good conscience continue to serve the Center as
members of the Board of Councilors.
In its work in conflict resolution the Carter Center
has always played the useful and constructive role of
honest broker and mediator between warring parties. In
your book, which portrays the conflict between Israel
and her neighbors as a purely one-sided affair with
Israel holding all of the responsibility for resolving
the conflict, you have clearly abandoned your historic
role of broker in favor of becoming an advocate for
one side.
The facts in dealing with the conflict are these:
There are two national narratives contesting one piece
of land. The Israelis, through deed and public
comment, have consistently spoken of a desire to live
in peace and make territorial compromise to achieve
this status. The Palestinian side has consistently
resorted to acts of terror as a national expression
and elected parties endorsing the use of terror, the
rejection of territorial compromise and of Israel's
right to exist. Palestinian leaders have had chances
since 1947 to have their own state, including during
your own presidency when they snubbed your efforts.
Your book has confused opinion with fact, subjectivity
with objectivity and force for change with partisan
advocacy. Furthermore the comments you have made the
past few weeks insinuating that there is a monolith of
Jewish power in America are most disturbing and must
be addressed by us. In our great country where freedom
of expression is basic bedrock you have suddenly
proclaimed that Americans cannot express their opinion
on matters in the Middle East for fear of retribution
from the "Jewish Lobby" In condemning the Jews of
America you also condemn Christians and others for
their support of Israel. Is any interest group to be
penalized for participating in the free and open
political process that is America? Your book and
recent comments suggest you seem to think so.
In the past you would inject yourself into this world
to moderate between the two sides in the pursuit of
peace and as a result you earned our admiration and
support. Now you repeatedly make false claims. You
wrote that UN Security Council Resolution 242 says
that "Israel must withdraw from territories" (p. 38),
but you know the word "must" in fact is not in the
resolution. You said that since Mahmoud Abbas has been
in office there have been no peace discussions. That
is wrong. You wrote that Yassir Arafat told you in
1990 that, "The PLO has never advocated the
annihilation of Israel" (p. 62). Given that their
Charter, which explicitly calls for Israel's
destruction, was not revised until the late 1990s, how
could you even write such a claim as if it were
credible?
You denied on Denver radio on December 12 that
Palestinian Prime Minister Haniyah said he would never
accept or negotiate with Israel. However the BBC
monitoring service reported just the opposite. In fact
Haniyah said: "We will never recognize the usurper
Zionist government and will continue our jihadist
movement until Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) and the
Al-Aqsa Mosque are liberated. When presented with this
fact you said, "No he didn't say that, no he did not
do that, I did not hear that." These are not points of
opinion, these are points of fact.
And finally, it is a disturbing statement to write:
"that it is imperative, that the general Arab
community and all significant Palestinian groups make
it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and
other acts of terrorism when international laws and
the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are
accepted by Israel." In this sentence you clearly
suggest that you are condoning violence against
Israelis until they do certain things ( p.213). Your
use of the word "Apartheid," regardless of your
disclaimers, has already energized white supremacist
groups who thrive on asserting Jewish control of
government and foreign policy, an insinuation you made
in your OPED to the LA Times on December 8, 2006: "For
the last 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced
the severe restraints on any free and balanced
discussion of the facts." According to Web site
monitoring by the Anti-Defamation League, U.S. white
supremacists have enthusiastically embraced your
suggestion that the Israe l lobby stifles debate in
this country, saying it confirms Jewish control of
government and foreign policy as well as and the
inherently "evil" nature of Jews. If you doubt the
support you are giving and receiving, please refer to:
From there you can get to the postings of four
different White Supremacist organizations that both
support and make use of the contents of your book and
what you have said in public.
As a result it seems that you have turned to a world
of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy. We can
no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising
position. This is not the Carter Center or the Jimmy
Carter we came to respect and support. Therefore it is
with sadness and regret that we hereby tender our
resignation from the Board of Councilors of the Carter
Center effective immediately.

Resignation of 14 more Carter Center Board Members
Letters Sent by Carter Board Members
January 11, 2007 10:34 a.m.
Below, the text of two letters sent Thursday, Jan. 11,
by members of the Carter Center Board of Councilors.
Dear fellow member of the Carter Center Board of
Councilors,
This has been a difficult time for us. As members of
the Board of Councilors of the Carter Center we have
endeavored to promote the efforts of the Carter Center
in our community. However, the recent book authored by
President Carter "Palestine; Peace not Apartheid" and
his comments in the press made while promoting the
book have given us pause in our efforts. We are deeply
troubled by the President's comments and writings and
are submitting the following letter of resignation to
the Carter Center. We wanted to inform you, our fellow
Board members, of our actions and encourage you to
contact us if you have any questions regarding our
resignation.
* * *
Dear President Carter,
As members of the Board of Councilors each one of us
has been proud to be associated with the Carter Center
in its noble struggle to repair the world. However, in
light of the publication of your latest book
Palestine; Peace Not Apartheid and your subsequent
comments made in promoting the book, we can no longer
in good conscience continue to serve the Center as
members of the Board of Councilors.
In its work in conflict resolution the Carter Center
has always played the useful and constructive role of
honest broker and mediator between warring parties. In
your book, which portrays the conflict between Israel
and her neighbors as a purely one-sided affair with
Israel holding all of the responsibility for resolving
the conflict, you have clearly abandoned your historic
role of broker in favor of becoming an advocate for
one side.
The facts in dealing with the conflict are these:
There are two national narratives contesting one piece
of land. The Israelis, through deed and public
comment, have consistently spoken of a desire to live
in peace and make territorial compromise to achieve
this status. The Palestinian side has consistently
resorted to acts of terror as a national expression
and elected parties endorsing the use of terror, the
rejection of territorial compromise and of Israel's
right to exist. Palestinian leaders have had chances
since 1947 to have their own state, including during
your own presidency when they snubbed your efforts.
Your book has confused opinion with fact, subjectivity
with objectivity and force for change with partisan
advocacy. Furthermore the comments you have made the
past few weeks insinuating that there is a monolith of
Jewish power in America are most disturbing and must
be addressed by us. In our great country where freedom
of expression is basic bedrock you have suddenly
proclaimed that Americans cannot express their opinion
on matters in the Middle East for fear of retribution
from the "Jewish Lobby" In condemning the Jews of
America you also condemn Christians and others for
their support of Israel. Is any interest group to be
penalized for participating in the free and open
political process that is America? Your book and
recent comments suggest you seem to think so.
In the past you would inject yourself into this world
to moderate between the two sides in the pursuit of
peace and as a result you earned our admiration and
support. Now you repeatedly make false claims. You
wrote that UN Security Council Resolution 242 says
that "Israel must withdraw from territories" (p. 38),
but you know the word "must" in fact is not in the
resolution. You said that since Mahmoud Abbas has been
in office there have been no peace discussions. That
is wrong. You wrote that Yassir Arafat told you in
1990 that, "The PLO has never advocated the
annihilation of Israel" (p. 62). Given that their
Charter, which explicitly calls for Israel's
destruction, was not revised until the late 1990s, how
could you even write such a claim as if it were
credible?
You denied on Denver radio on December 12 that
Palestinian Prime Minister Haniyah said he would never
accept or negotiate with Israel. However the BBC
monitoring service reported just the opposite. In fact
Haniyah said: "We will never recognize the usurper
Zionist government and will continue our jihadist
movement until Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) and the
Al-Aqsa Mosque are liberated. When presented with this
fact you said, "No he didn't say that, no he did not
do that, I did not hear that." These are not points of
opinion, these are points of fact.
And finally, it is a disturbing statement to write:
"that it is imperative, that the general Arab
community and all significant Palestinian groups make
it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and
other acts of terrorism when international laws and
the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are
accepted by Israel." In this sentence you clearly
suggest that you are condoning violence against
Israelis until they do certain things ( p.213). Your
use of the word "Apartheid," regardless of your
disclaimers, has already energized white supremacist
groups who thrive on asserting Jewish control of
government and foreign policy, an insinuation you made
in your OPED to the LA Times on December 8, 2006: "For
the last 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced
the severe restraints on any free and balanced
discussion of the facts." According to Web site
monitoring by the Anti-Defamation League, U.S. white
supremacists have enthusiastically embraced your
suggestion that the Israe l lobby stifles debate in
this country, saying it confirms Jewish control of
government and foreign policy as well as and the
inherently "evil" nature of Jews. If you doubt the
support you are giving and receiving, please refer to:

Occupation and denying of UN Resolutions mean nothing. If one were a Palestinian, you would surely see the Israeli's as terrorists in the same way it works for Israeli's. Taking lands, bulldozing houses, killing fig trees, etc are not the actions of a peaceful friendly neighbor.
Carter was still standing firm! He probably is better off without these people.
