Also included are analysis by CAMERA’s Andrea Levin, Dr. Alex Safian, Gilead Ini, Tamar Sternthal and Dexter Van Zile. Bearing False Witness underscores the need for reform of publishing houses, such as Simon and Schuster, that violate basic standards of accuracy by failing to fact-check the books they promote and profit from.

    President Carter understands what an apartheid is and classified Israeli government as one. Not only is this author trying to justify it and distract from reality, he’s also trying to profit off of it. He presents an absurd an inane response to Carter’s book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Exposing Jimmy Carter's demonization of Israel
    Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2008
    The subtitle of Jimmy Carter's book on Israel, "Peace not Apartheid", implies that Israel discriminates on the basis of race. This is the first in a web of lies, distortions and half-truths that render Carter's book nothing but a piece of propaganda. Countering falsehood with fact, this publication contains contributions by inter alia Kenneth Stein, Rachel Ehrenfeld, Dennis Ross, Michael Oren, Alan Dershowitz, Melvin Konner and Dexter von Zile. The first part exposes the worst of Carter's factual errors about issues like borders, international agreements, settlements, negotiations and the nature of Israeli society.

    He deliberately minimizes terrorist violence against Israel and ignores the refusal of its enemies to recognize the Jewish State's right to life. Carter claims that Israel's withdrawal to the 1967 border is specified in UN Resolution 242 and promised in the Camp David Accords and Oslo Agreement. But in truth none of these documents requires a return to those vulnerable pre-1967 armistice lines. Resolution 242 calls on Israel to withdraw from territory in exchange for peace without detailing the extent of withdrawal. The Camp David Accords do not define Israel's borders either but state that negotiations concerning the West Bank and Gaza must resolve, among other matters, the final boundaries. Article XVII, 1, (a) of the Oslo Agreements included "borders" as one of the issues for the permanent status negotiations.

    Carter complains that important provisions of the Camp David agreement have not been honored, accusing Israel of never having granted any meaningful autonomy to the Palestinians. But after 1993 the Oslo process established the Palestinian Authority with control of political, security, civic, medical, educational and media institutions. Israel ceded 40 percent of the West Bank and eventually the whole of the Gaza Strip. Carter denies that the PLO has called for the annihilation of Israel. But its 1964 founding charter declares the 1947 partitioning of Palestine and establishment of Israel as illegal whilst the 1968 charter identifies "Palestine" as all of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Israel.

    In Carter's revisionist history, Israel is blamed for the 1967 war. He alleges that Israel launched preemptive attacks on Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Jordan on 5th June. But in May that year Egypt expelled the United Nations Emergency Force from the Sinai , deployed 100,000 soldiers there and blockaded Israel's port of Eilat and the Gulf of Aqaba, a vital trade route and oil lifeline. Blockading an international waterway is an act of war under international law. Neither did Israel initiate hostilities against Syria, Jordan or Iraq. When fighting with Egypt broke out, Jordan started shelling the Israeli heartland. Despite this, Israel pleaded with King Hussein to stay out of the war. He responded with aerial attacks.

    Two of the maps in Carter's book are titled: "Palestinian Interpretation of Clinton's Proposal 2000" and "Israeli Interpretation of Clinton's Proposal 2000." This is untrue as Dennis Ross, the US peace negotiator who drew up the original maps, explains. And deceptive: any reader ignorant of the origin of the maps would conclude that the Clinton proposals were so vague and unfair that Arafat had no choice but to reject them.

    Carter claims that during his 1990 Damascus visit, President Assad showed a willingness to negotiate the status of the Golan Heights, proposing that both sides withdraw from the international border. Kenneth Stein, former executive director of the Carter Center, was present. According to his notes Assad replied to a question by Carter that Syria would never compromise its sovereignty by accepting a demilitarized Golan. Carter claims that Israeli courts consider as admissible confessions extracted through torture. Not so! If an accused claims that confession resulted from torture, the "mishpat zuta" applies - a trial within a trial where the prosecution must prove that torture was not applied. If it cannot be disproved, the confession becomes null and void. All methods of interrogation are subject to the primacy of the defendant's free will.

    Articles that I found particularly illuminating are those on Carter's Arab financiers by Rachel Ehrenfeld, on religious issues by Michael B. Oren and on Carter's faith by Dexter Van Zile. Although they may know about the World Council of Churches' hostility to Israel, most Christians are completely unaware of their religion's long history of antisemitism by all three major groups: Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox. For more information, I recommend the brilliant if spiritually harrowing work Christian Antisemitism by William Nicholls as well as Future Israel: Why Christian Anti-Judaism Must be Challenged by Barry Horner. Paul Charles Merkley's comparative study Christian Attitudes Towards the State of Israel is another most informative source.

    I agree with the British writer Melanie Phillips that Israel is the defining moral issue of our time. It is the Jewish State and the onslaught against the Jewish people in their ancient homeland that today form the centre of the struggle between truth and falsehood, fact and propaganda, justice and injustice, freedom and tyranny, reason and irrationality. Some may not yet realize it, but the entire world is engaged. Israel is the frontline in the defense of the West; should it fall, the rest of the free world will follow. Those who are on the wrong side of this issue are not on the side of civilization.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Speaking truth to power
    Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2008
    If one looks at the Amazon site for Jimmy Carter's book, which includes in the title the rather provocative words "Peace not Apartheid," one will see plenty of reviews, a big majority of which are positive.

    The "apartheid" that Carter means is not the fact that Israel looks like a little Bantustan, surrounded by Arab nations in which Jews are not particularly welcome. It is Israel itself that Carter implicitly accuses of being a racist and apartheid state. And that's a false accusation.

    I think it is a shame that a former American president has written such a sloppy, misleading, and dishonest book. And it is a shame that some people, taken in by Carter's reputation as an American president, have unfairly praised Carter's book. But even more annoying are some bullies who are proud of Carter's dishonesty. These bullies know that there are plenty of serious criticisms of Carter's book but taunt the critics by saying that nobody has ever been able to find anything incorrect in Carter's book!

    This short book (only 100 pages plus a table of contents) will not help one convince such bullies. No matter how right one is, the bullies will say that up is down with great confidence. But it will help one characterize such bullies.

    This book shows how far Carter has strayed from truth, thereby helping to make peace in the region more difficult to achieve.

    This book starts by reviewing many (but not all) of Carter's numerous errors of fact in his book. There are errors about UN resolution 242, where Carter falsely claims that Israel has been required to cede all land past its 1949 borders. There are further false statements about Israel's "established" borders. There are false statements about the Camp David agreements, where Carter falsely claims that Menachim Begin agreed to a permanent settlement freeze, not the three-month freeze he actually agreed to and abided by. There are misstatements about the "Road Map," as well as about UN resolutions involving Lebanon and Hezbollah. There are serious untruths about the Camp David and Taba negotiations. And there's much, much more. Andrea Levin, Gilead Ini, and Alex Safian need to be congratulated for this chapter.

    Dennis Ross has a short article showing how Carter mislabeled a couple of maps showing the Camp David and Taba peace proposals. There is a fine article by Kenneth Stein, who was a co-author with Carter of the book "The Blood of Abraham." There's a good article by Melvin Konner. And resignation letters from fourteen Carter Center advisors.

    Articles by Michael Oren and Dexter von Zile discuss religious overtones of Carter's book. And articles by Alan Dershowitz and Rachel Ehrenfeld are about Arab funding of the Carter Center. Andrea Levin has an article which raises the issue of the culpability of the publisher, Simon and Schuster in producing such a shoddy book as Carter's.

    I recommend this book and think that CAMERA deserves a great deal of credit for writing it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars A tragedy of epic proportions
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2008
    I have read a great deal about both of the books in question and the true tragedy here is, as in many cases, when oppressed peoples refuse to stop the oppression but insist upon passing it along.

    Not unlike an adult who chooses to abuse his children after himself suffering abuse is the story of Isreali aggression in Palestine; and the fact that anyone can be shocked at the lies spread by hate groups who deny the holocaust but then turn around and spread their own lies about Palestinian suffering is the real tragedy.

    It is not anti-semitism but a revealing lens aimed not just at the US aggressions channeled through Isreal but at all attempts to hide atrocities.

    It is tragic that you fail to see the error in your own ways.

    I bought this book looking for legitimate arguments to Jimmy Carter's initial book Peace not Apartheid. What I found was a poorly written diatribe with all the logic of school yard banter. "I know you are but what am I" Don't bother buying this book now. It will be on the half price pile shortly.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Disproving Hate
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 19, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    In light of former president Jimmy Carter declining all invitations to debate his book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, CAMERA (The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) has produced a small 100 page book addressing the many inaccuracies found in his work.

    The book starts out with simple rebuffs correcting the accusations levelled at Israel by Carter. Yet with the very first essay in this book alone, the legal base from which Carter weaves his web are shown to be deeply flawed. In fact they're just plain wrong. 'Bearing False Witness' then becomes an extremely powerful compilation of several legal documents and testimonies countering these various libels, whilst still being an accessible read.

    This includes the much (miss)quoted UN Resolution 242, the pre-1967 'borders' issue, the 1949 Armistice lines, errors concerning The Camp David Accords, Israel's security barrier (or Apartheid wall, as Carter prefers), other UN Resolutions and issues relating to Lebanon and so on.

    Among those disproving Carter's polemic is Dennis Ross, a former Middle East Envoy and senior advisor to the State Dept under the administrations of HW Bush, Clinton, Obama and Carter. Ross explains the errors found in the two maps Carter used from the various peace process negotiations. Astonishingly these erroneous maps and Carter's insistence that his portrayal of the proposals reached were correct, even when Ross points out that Carter was not even present in those meetings!

    Reprinted here after the publication of Carter's diatribe are scathing letters of resignation by Professors Kenneth Stein plus a joint letter from 14 of the Carter Center Advisory Board. Further essays by Kenneth Stein give a first hand account of the former president during the 1980s, giving early hints at his current political outlook. Two essays on Carter's refusal to debate his book; one a joint essay by 11 Emory Professors, the other by Professor of Law at Harvard, Alan Dershowitz.

    Carter's motivations are examined with a further two essays on his faith by Michael B. Oren and Dexter Van Zile; then, in two explosive essays Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alan Dershowitz document Carter's ties to oil-rich Arab financiers, going all the way back to his presidency and the bailout of his peanut farm. This 100 page book concludes with the final word going to Rachel Ehrenfeld with criticism of the publisher's standards considering Carter's book is in the non-fiction category.

    I found 'Bearing False Witness' to be a powerful case for the defence. As for those wishing to go beyond the superficial headlines, there is much food for thought and much to challenge the preconceived ideas so commonplace on these issues. If you haven't read Carter's book, read it, along with this one and make up your own minds.
