>>Carter Advisors Quit Over Mideast Book

United Press International, 2007-01-11

Fourteen members of an advisory board at the Carter Center in Atlanta have resigned over former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's controversial Mideast book.

The group, including some who worked with Carter when he was in the White House 30 years ago, said it could no longer in good conscience continue to serve because of Carter's Palestine Peace Not Apartheid, the Wall Street Journal said Thursday.

It seems that you have turned to a world of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy, the departing members said in a letter to the former president.

The book, published Nov. 14 by Simon & Shuster, has enraged some critics who claim it is historically inaccurate and unfairly harsh toward Israel. The use of the word apartheid is a particularly sore point with some.

Those departing were part of the Center's 200-member board of councilors, an advisory body of community and business leaders and not a governing body.<<
