Carter's Book a Distorted View of Israel
[Atlanta Journal-Constitution] Michael Jacobs - By using "Palestine" as the first word in the title, Carter is revealing the prism through which his book examines the situation: It's not about an equitable resolution of a two-sided struggle; it's about the Palestinians getting all they can. If Israel would just do what is right, Carter implies, Hamas, Hizballah, Iran, al-Qaeda, etc., would lay down their explosive belts, give up their improvised explosive devices, dismantle their rockets, forget nuclear bombs, and live in peace and harmony for all time. In reality, Palestinians, Arab nations, and Iran remain intent on Israel's destruction.
