Jimmy Carter - Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid
I'm so impressed with Jimmy Carter right now. Some may think he's destroying his own brand by revealing the truths of Brand Israel. In actuality, he's fighting Israel's historical oppression of many populations by shining light on the most obvious example, the plight of the Palestinian people.
Plus, he's an opponent of anti-Semitism who I bet recognizes that Israel's criminal actions actually undermine the safety of Jews, not unlike the ways in which America's brutality and insensitivity are making it much more difficult for Americans to move freely around the globe.
But today I'm most happy about Jimmy Carter bitch slapping Alan Dershowitz.
Carter Nixes Debate With Outspoken Prof:
Former President Carter turned down a request to debate Alan Dershowitz about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying the outspoken Harvard law professor ``knows nothing about the situation.''
Carter, author of a new book advocating ``peace not apartheid'' in the region, said he will not visit Brandeis University to discuss the book because the university requested he debate Dershowitz.
``I don't want to have a conversation even indirectly with Dershowitz,'' Carter said in Friday's Boston Globe. ``There is no need ... to debate somebody who, in my opinion, knows nothing about the situation in Palestine.''
