In Jimmy Carter's new book, he makes false accusations against Israel.
He claims that in 1967 Israel launched a preemptive attack against Jordan. The fact is that Jordan attacked Israel first, Israel tried desperately to persuade Jordan to remain out of the war, and Israel counterattacked after the Jordanian army surrounded Jerusalem, firing missiles into the center of the city.
Carter repeatedly claims that the Palestinians have long supported a two-state solution and the Israelis have always opposed it. Yet he makes no mention of the fact that in 1938 the Peel Commission proposed a two-state solution with Israel receiving a mere sliver of its ancient homeland and the Palestinians receiving the bulk of the land. The Jews accepted and the Palestinians rejected this proposal, because Arab leaders cared more about there being no Jewish state on Muslim holy land.
Abba Eban famously called the 1967 lines “Auschwitz borders,” and he did so for a reason: they are indefensible

It was precisely their indefensibility that provoked Arab aggression against Israel in the first place.
Nor could a “pledge” of peace be enforced by U.S. or NATO troops (much less UN ones), once Israel moved to indefensible borders – and it would be unreasonable to expect the U.S. or NATO to commit troops to defend such borders (even assuming an Israeli willingness to place its defense into the hands of others).

Because he's an out-and-out anti-Semite. His flaky hatred of the people of Israel has only strengthened as he has gotten old and dementia has kicked in.
Jimmy Carter puts the "nuts" in peanuts.

His books , basically proposes what is fundamentally wrong.His false accussation against Israel is manifestation of his long frustration of his dithering foreign policy.Basically he was polically wrong in writing the book, when Israel is politically right from the very begining.

Aside from being the worst president I've seen in my long lifetime, carter is a redneck hick and a hillbilly anti-semite. I think he's stoned on Paragoric most of the time.

The American people loudly and clearly let Carter know in the election of 1980 what they thought of him. Little has changed since then.

Sometimes, as people get old, they just don't have it anymore...
