CARTER USED FAKE MANDELA LETTER TO SMEAR ISRAEL

The Trouble with the Apartheid Analogy - Joel Pollak
Last month, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter in a speech at Brandeis University cited a letter to the New York Times by Nelson Mandela laying out the case against Israel. Unfortunately for Israel's critics, the letter was a hoax, the creation of Arjan El Fassed, who runs an anti-Israel website called The Electronic Intifada. El-Fassed has admitted that he made the whole thing up, but the Mandela letter has now entered the anti-Israel canon alongside countless other fictions. (Business Day-South Africa)
