The Case for Carter

JL;DR SUMMARY Yossi Beilin reflects on the uproar surrounding Jimmy Carter’s book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," particularly noting the lack of similar controversy in Israel compared to the United States.

Places mentioned

Israel
"In light of the failure of the second Camp David summit of July 2000, Carters successful mediation between such starkly different leaders as Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat is all the more impressive, and his achievement which was a truly personal achievement all the more remarkable."
Egypt
"The Camp David summit he convened in September 1978, which resulted in the signing of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, was a historical watershed for the entire region."
United States
"And even though we are talking here about a book that was published in the United States and has yet to be translated into Hebrew, the quiet way in which Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid has been received in Israel is nevertheless noteworthy, not least because it is Israel itself that is the object of Carters opprobrium."
