Former President Jimmy Carter talked about his book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, published by Simon and Schuster. In his book he argues that the only way for Israel to achieve lasting security is to withdraw from occupied territory and revert to internationally-recognized boundaries. At this event former President Carter summarized the book and addressed issues surrounding its public reception, including his use of the word “apartheid,” his statements regarding Jews and the American media, his opinions on the responsibility of Palestinian leadership, and his decision not to debate Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz at the event. He also apologized for a sentence in the book that implies Israel is responsible for stopping Palestinian acts of terror, and challenged Brandeis University students and professors to travel to the region to determine whether his claims regarding human rights abuses are justified. President Carter responded to audience members' questions.
