Pundit review’s friend Alan Dershowitz exposes the plethora of lies and distortions in Carter’s new anti-Israeli screed: “Palestine:Peace Not Apartheid.”
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. Carter too is guilty of misleading the court of public opinion. A mere listing of all of Carterâ??s mistakes and omissions would fill a volume the size of his book. Here are just a few of the most egregious:
Carter emphasizes that â??Christian and Muslim Arabs had continued to live in this same land since Roman times,â? but he ignores the fact that Jews have lived in Hebron, Tzfat, Jerusalem, and other cities for even longer. Nor does he discuss the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab countries since 1948.
Carter repeatedly claims that the Palestinians have long supported a two-state solution and the Israelis have always opposed it. Yet he makes no mention of the fact that in 1938 the Peel Commission proposed a two-state solution with Israel receiving a mere sliver of its ancient homeland and the Palestinians receiving the bulk of the land. The Jews accepted and the Palestinians rejected this proposal, because Arab leaders cared more about there being no Jewish state on Muslim holy land than about having a Palestinian state of their own.He barely mentions Israelâ??s acceptance, and the Palestinian rejection, of the U.N.â??s division of the mandate in 1948.

Like his book, Jimmy Carter is a phony and a fraud. Thanks to Professor Dershowitz for undressing the worst president this country has ever had (next to Clinton of course).
