That doesn't look like peace to me.

The biggest shock in Jimmy Carter's new book, "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid," comes not from the title, but from the twisting of reality.
[Snip]
Carter isn't writing for Arabs or Jews; he's aiming at American Christians, particularly the evangelicals who are among Israel's most ardent supporters.
Carter repeatedly refers to Israeli oppression of Christians, destruction of Christian holy sites and imprisonment of Bethlehem. He emphasizes Israel's secular nature in 1973 and makes dark allusions to the powerful pro-Israel lobby.
He asserts that Israel's security fence is a grotesque violation of international law but ignores its success at stopping suicide attacks; he praises Hamas for maintaining a cease-fire for two years and ignores the Qassam rockets raining on Sderot.
And he uses that buzzword, apartheid, which resonates with religious folks who fought to divest from South Africa in the 1980s. Carter hopes his book will inspire a similar grass-roots movement to undermine Israel and ruin the U.S.-Israel relationship.
"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.

He joins William Sloane Coffin and John Shelby Spong among the leftist activists who have tried to drag the church into their political religion; Jimmy will fail again. This is a nasty and vicious little book, but it does finally say openly what the Christian radical left thinks about Israel. Good for the American Jews to hear what the radical left has in mind for Israel.
Dear Lord, God,
Please . . . may peanut brain be banished from public knowledge and awareness.
May we have an ex-Pres with a shred of dignity and respect instead of endless Peanut Poop?
You know, he IS at that age when dementia begins to set in.
Written by a nasty and vicious little man!
What about Jimmy Carter is NOT distorted?
I think he got the title wrong: Israel: Extermination, not Peace.
He lost his mind a long time ago.
That doesn't look like peace to me.
BWAAHHAHAHAHA GAG! If Jimmuh wants to find apartheid in the modern world, he should look to Islamic Supremacists in Saudi Arabia. They don't even permit Jews to enter the country anymore. They prohibit the open practice of any faith other than Islam. They prohibit kufir from entering the muslim exclusive city of Mecca.
Jimmy Carter is an antisemitic bigoted old fool and was a failure as a president.
Getting rid of Apartheid has worked so well in Africa.
They used to eat, now they are eating each other.
We freed the black man and they ran the White man out of the country, now they cant feed themselves.
He has become much more anti-American since the 80s. Back then, he was mostly incompetent.
This is a nasty and vicious little book,Written by a nasty and vicious little man!
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Carter repeatedly refers to Israeli oppression of Christians, destruction of Christian holy sites and imprisonment of Bethlehem. He emphasizes Israel's secular nature in 1973 and makes dark allusions to the powerful pro-Israel lobby.
The UN, the CFR, David Rockefeller, Harvard, Zbigniew Brzezinski, now joined by Jimmy Carter in attacking Israel. Sheesh. The Birch Society is losing all its bogeymen!
Unfortunately, if Carter were to run for President today as the candidate of the Democratic party, most American Jews would still vote for him.
Jimmy Carter = Manchurian Jew hater
