Jimmy Carter has stirred up a firestorm with his controversial new book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.
First, a member of Carter Center, Kenneth Stein, resigned in protest over the book because of what he called errors in the text. Secondly, author Dennis Ross is claiming the former president, without attribution, copied maps from one of his books.
Today, Carter turned down a Brandeis University request that he debate author and Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
From Associated Press:
"I don't want to have a conversation even indirectly with Dershowitz," Carter said in Friday's Boston Globe. "There is no need ... to debate somebody who, in my opinion, knows nothing about the situation in Palestine."
Dershowitz has written at least a half-dozen books
