Carter defends Mideast book as accurate
By CHARLES ODUM, Associated Press Writer 29 minutes ago
Former President Jimmy Carter said Saturday that the storm of criticism he has faced for his recent book has not weakened his resolve for fair treatment of Israelis and Palestinians.
"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."
Following the publication of the book: "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," 14 members of an advisory board to his Carter Center resigned in protest. Those former board members and other critics contend the book is unfairly critical of Israel.
"Not one of the critics of my book has contradicted any of the basic premises ... that is the horrible persecution and oppression of the Palestinian people and secondly that the formula for finding peace in the Middle East already exists," the 82-year-old Carter said.
Carter said he was pleased the book has stimulated discussion of an issue that has been "omitted from the public consciousness" for at least the last six years.

"I have been called a bigot.
I have been called a plagiarist.
I have been called a coward.
3-3: Shooting 100%
..Bingo!
POS president, POS ex-president. A tribute to the stupidity of the voting public that just keeps on giving.
Carter's Presidential legacy is in a dirty toilet bowl and Carter himself keeps adding to it. I sometimes wonder about his wife and children as to why they don't try and help him in some manner.
It's a start and only the tip of the iceberg.
Carter: "I have been called a liar. I have been called an anti-Semite. I have been called a bigot. I have been called a plagiarist. I have been called a coward."
"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."
And now Jimmah you have proven it ! You are a bigot, anti semite, coward, racist and a doddering old fool
Thanks. I have the book. Where should I look...sections?
I remember the lines about the messages being sent down from the heavens.
It was repeated more than once. He was speaking to the Palestinian people.
I got the book because it came out the same day I snatched a Palestinian propaganda tape and skim read it for cross references that came up with text from the tape.
That is the best I can say without the book in front of me.
The horrible persecution comes from themselves and their phucked up religion and they themselves are only to blame. And the "Formula: for finding peace in the middle east was the same one the Nazi's tried.
BY THEIR OWN LEADERS AND OTHER GENTILE PEOPLE..
HOW MUCH DID ARAFAT STEAL FROM THEM.. 5 BILLION.. THAT WE KNOW ABOUT?...
This boy is about as sharp as a bolwing ball..
"Id like Jimmy to add a couple of rooms onto my house ...Is he still in that line of work?"
I think he has switched to mosque building.
Because you refuse to debate them in public. You just can't stand to be shown in the light of day for what you really are.
Just do everyone a favor and die already.
Probably in part due to the ethnic clensing of some 20,000 members of the Rhodesian/Zimbabwe Matabele people, killed by the Korean-trained Fifth Brigade on the orders of Comrade Bob Mugabe, placed in political power by Carter and his cronies.
Carter is indeed a bigot and a coward, and the blood of thousands of Matabele is on his wrinkled hands.
