Despite the storm it ignited, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter held fast on Thursday to his accusation that Israel oppresses the Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza and seeks to colonize their land.
Speaking at The George Washington University to a polite but mostly critical student audience, Carter offered no second thoughts on his book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid that prompted 14 members of the Carter Center's advisory board to resign and drew fire from Jewish groups and some fellow Democrats.
He said he was not accusing Israel of racism nor referring to its treatment of Arabs within the country. "I defined apartheid very carefully as the forced segregation by one people of another on their own land," he said.
Outside the university auditorium, some two dozen protesters gathered, a few carrying signs. "Carter is a Liar" read one held by a smiling demonstrator while the others chanted the refrain.
"We were trying to tell Carter his lies are not helpful," a local rabbi, Shmuel Herzfeld, said afterward. "It is very clear the lies are malicious, and it raises issues what his motives are," Herzfeld said.
"I believe Jimmy Carter is an anti-Semite and his intention is to hurt Jewish people," said Herzfeld, rabbi at Ohev Sholom, in an interview.

It's the jooooooos...
Weakness does have a face ...
How can one man be so stewpid?
He works at it!
He also stands firm that he should have won the election in 1980, the elections in Venezuela and Haiti were perfectly democratic, and that his brother Billy was an upstanding citizen.
I like the fact that the audience was "polite but mostly critical." That's a hopeful sign!
Word!
No second thoughts. His first were 4-F.
Mr. Peanut brain....
Carter is an idiot. He's an old fool who that reigned during the era of stagflation (Something he was incapable to deal with) that ended when Reagan took office. Under his tenure you had the Afghanistan invasion and he did nothing except embarrass our nation. Our defense fell apart, national pride was low, but the Germans and French loved him. Go figure.
This miserable creature should live in hiding and wait to die. If he had a conscience he'd shut his mouth and fade away into obscurity, not try to "reinvent" himself. “YOU WERE A FAILURE AS A PRESIDENT!” Don't relive live your presidency vicariously through others today telling how they should run their show. It’s not your show. You’re history, you’re a no body, and you won’t recreate yourself. You wrote your own history and you failed. In fact, the words that come across your lips prove that you still haven’t learned anything from your failures. Your books, your big mouth, and your self ingratiating stance today tell a lot of what your true meddle is. Deep down inside there is no gentle nice man, but an egotistical ass that can’t deal with his failure.
The Islamic state of Saudi Arabia is the true example of Apart Hate.
SA does not permit Jews to enter the country.
Non-muslims are second class citizens under Islamic law.
Non-muslims are prohibited from practicing their faiths in SA.
Non-muslims are prohibited from entering the segregated city of Mecca, a place that all muslims, not just the "extremists" bow to 5 times a day every day.
Jimmy Carter is a national disgrace.
THE HORROR!!! THE HORROR!!!
Every day, I thank the Lord for protecting us in 2004 from the people in that image.

I can carve a better man out of a banana.
Let's play that game. I define mass genocidal holocaust very carefully as what happens when my feelings are hurt, or I get a boo boo.
