WHY ALL THE RESIGNATIONS, WAS IT SOMETHING JIMMY SAID? [+] ballot by Barbara_Baby_Cakes created Thu Jan 11, 07 ATLANTA - Fourteen members of an advisory board to Jimmy Carter’s human rights organization resigned Thursday to protest his new book, which criticizes Israeli policy in the Palestinian territories. The resignations from The Carter Center board are the latest backlash against the former president’s book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” which has drawn fire from Jewish groups, been attacked by fellow Democrats and led to the resignation last month of Kenneth Stein, a center fellow and a longtime Carter adviser. The book follows the Israeli-Palestinian peace process starting with Carter’s 1977-1980 presidency and the peace accord he negotiated between Israel and Egypt. It doles out blame to Israel, the Palestinians, the United States and others, but it is most critical of Israeli policy. Steve Berman, an Atlanta real estate developer among those who resigned, said members have “watched with great dismay” as Carter defended the book, especially as he implied that Americans might be afraid to discuss the conflict in fear of a powerful Jewish lobby. What say you all, is Jimmy getting a bad rap? Yes/No, why or why not? What did this great humanitian say that caused so many to turn their backs on this man? He is getting a bad rap for speaking the truth. Oh h_ll no, he went too far this time. Once again, the Zionist arse kissers are at it again.
