JIMMY CARTER TORN APART BY SQUIRRELS

...OR AT LEAST JIMMY CARTER'S BOOK TORN APART BY INFORMED HISTORIAN...

Former President Jimmy Carter's newest book, Palestine Peace not Apartheid, has raised concerns in the Jewish community. The title is fair warning for the kind of arguments Carter makes. The book is rife with historical inaccuracies, distortions of the facts, and Arab propaganda.

Dr. Mitchell G. Bard, the executive director of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE) and the director of the Jewish Virtual Library, has written a comprehensive review of Carter's book that addresses its many flaws.

Bard takes us through the history of Israel, the PLO, and the Arab states, showing us where Carter contradicts himself, demonstrates ignorance of the facts, or naively accepts easily-discredited Palestinian claims.
