Book Reviews of Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid
Book Review: A Lousy Book By a Lousy President
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is absolute drivel. First, the writing is terrible. I assume Carter did not actually write the book himself, but he could have at least found a better writer to ghost write it for him. Second, in his zeal to defend the Palestinians and attack the Israelis, our former president seems to have dispensed with careful fact-checking. Where the facts support his conclusion, he states the facts. Where the facts do not support his conclusion, he either ignores the facts, changes the facts, or invents new facts. This is inexcusable. Finally, the book is so one-sided that it fails to contribute anything meaningful to the debate about a complex situation. Instead, it comes off as ranting. President Carter will go down in history as among our least effective presidents. His book is just about as good as his presidency.Book Review: Anti semitic view from a renegade.
Summary: 2 Stars
With all due respects to a former U.S. President, Jimmy Carter never appeared as a strong leader to the world. Now that he is no longer an active President, instead of withdrawing to the background, Jimmy Carter is traveling around the world scheduling meetings with terror group such as Hamas AS IF he is representing the U.S. States Department.
In my personal opinion, this book is basically just that. It's about a failed President who is trying to take political matter into his own hands. What is worse is that he did not provide an unbiased view of the situation. Israel was portrayed very unfairly in this book. There are many things Carter could do but instead he chose to be a political renegade running around in the world political arena.
Book Review: Carter Airs his Amoral, Ahistorical Views
Summary: 1 Stars
Nothing can say more about this book than the company it keeps. Look at the books bought by people who bought this book and you see the strain of anti-Semitism throughout. Carter spreads the claptrap that the US is at fault for Palestinians strapping bombs on their children and the mentally infirm due to our support of Israel. He fails to make a connection between cause and effect -- ex: Israel building a fence causes suicide bombers, when it is clearly the bombers that created a requirement for the fence -- in an Orwellian explanation of past events that strip them of their true context to fit his world view. Don't waste your money on this book or the ones bought by its adherents.Book Review: A Must Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jimmy Carter exemplifies altruistic behavior and equality of ALL men. Finally an unprejudiced person in authority speaks the truth.
Zionists may argue that he's lying and his book is biased. But I implore you to read this book with an open mind. He was an integral part of the mid-east peace process, and as such has merit to write a book of this nature. It is completely free of bias. He points out the flaws of both sides, as well as the good on both sides. His book is not Pro-Israel, or Pro-Palestine...it's Pro-Peace.
If you want an unbiased analysis of the Mid-East, by a man involved in the process, this is the book for you.
Book Review: The Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
It's great to see someone with the status that Jimmy Carter holds, still care to make what is wrong with the world right. A majority of this country did not re-elect President Carter for a second presidential term,(Your loss) but years later he is still making an impact on the lives of people all over the world. That is who we need in office, someone who is sincere enough to care when the cameras are not on, and when lobbyists are not whispering in your ear. President Carter....thank you for your efforts with Palestine and all the other numerous causes you strive to make right.
