Fourteen members of an advisory board to Jimmy Carter's human rights organization resigned on Thursday to protest his new book, which has been attacked as unfairly critical of Israel and riddled with inaccuracies.
The resignations at the Carter Center are the latest backlash against the former president's book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid." The book has also drawn fire from Jewish groups and fellow Democrats, and led to the resignation last month of Kenneth Stein, a center fellow and a longtime Carter adviser.
"You have clearly abandoned your historic role of broker in favor of becoming an advocate for one side," the departing members of the center's Board of Councilors told Carter in their letter of resignation.
The 200-member board is responsible for building public support for the Carter Center. It is not the organization's governing board.

Having "survived" his time as President I wonder why they thought he was impartial in that arena to start with.

Jimmy Carter is just another pseudo-christian pro-socialist leftist and doesn't realize that he isn't helping anyone but just playing Stalin's useless idiot role for all the anti-freedom movements in the world. Let the left wing die and America Live.

Many of us have known for years that carter is a jerk. He has been characterized as one of our least effective presidents. I am glad the book has raised awareness to carter himself. He needed his ego checked.

It seems that Israel cannot do any wrong in the eye`s of the US, when in fact, Israel has broken more UN resolutions than Iraq ever did. And that is an accurate fact.

We all live, and die, so Carter figures his time is coming, you ever think maybe he wanted to do something before he goes
