Following his #1 New York Times bestseller, Our Endangered Values, the former president, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, offers an assessment of what must be done to bring permanent peace to Israel with dignity and justice to Palestine.

President Carter, who was able to negotiate peace between Israel and Egypt, has remained deeply involved in Middle East affairs since leaving the White House. He has stayed in touch with the major players from all sides in the conflict and has made numerous trips to the Holy Land, most recently as an observer in the Palestinian elections of 2005 and 2006.

In this book, President Carter shares his intimate knowledge of the history of the Middle East and his personal experiences with the principal actors, and he addresses sensitive political issues many American officials avoid. Pulling no punches, Carter prescribes steps that must be taken for the two states to share the Holy Land without a system of apartheid or the constant fear of terrorism.

The general parameters of a long-term, two-state agreement are well known, the president writes. There will be no substantive and permanent peace for any peoples in this troubled region as long as Israel is violating key UN resolutions, official American policy, and the international “road map” for peace by occupying Arab lands and oppressing the Palestinians. Except for mutually agreeable negotiated modifications, Israel’s official pre-1967 borders must be honored. As were all previous administrations since the founding of Israel, US government leaders must be in the forefront of achieving this long-delayed goal of a just agreement that both sides can honor.

Palestine Peace Not Apartheid is a challenging, provocative, and courageous book.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book offers a historical overview in the form of a personal memoir....Carter may thus be said to be both a source for the historian and himself a historian of the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. This little book merits a reading on both counts."

-- L. Carl Brown, Foreign Affairs

"A provocative and all too accurate diagnosis of why the Israeli-Palestinian impasse still festers twenty-five years after [Carter] left the White House....Timely and refreshing for its candor."

-- Philip C. Wilcox, Jr., National Catholic Reporter

"This is a must-read for anyone desiring to understand the Middle East problems."

-- Dennis Lythgoe, The Deseret Morning News (Salt Lake City)

"Takes dead aim at what is the most pressing international affairs and national security issue of our times....Mr. Carter brings to the table a unique credibility."

-- Dan Simpson, The Toledo Blade (Ohio)

We need more people like Jimmy to wage peace between nations

Very informative. We need more people like Jimmy to wage peace between nations! Just got back from Palestine. Israel and Palestine seem further apart than ever, with Palestinians having few, if any, rights. Jimmy had asked for Palestine to be self-directing. That is far from the case. Back to the book,
Jimmy explains the situation in the Middle East clearly and includes history to help explain the current situation.

AIPAC - A Stumbling Block To Big To Get Over

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

President Carter wrote this book 11 years ago. So it is dated. But his goal - Palestine Peace Not Apartheid - is a most worthy goal...and it took a great deal of courage for the President to show that the actions of some of Israel's leaders have created a situation that clearly resembles apartheid. Since the influence of AIPAC has not diminished in the past 11 years, it is hard to imagine that our political will will change our counter productive foreign policy.

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2016

Clear, well-written and informative. Jimmy Carter's experiences show us how biased the U.S. mainstream media are with respect to Israel. While he doesn't mention AIPAC by name, it is clear that this organization is way more nefarious than the NRA when it comes to influencing American thought and politics.

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

The subject matter is one of the most complex in our world society and thus we of North America should make ourselves familiar in a first hand way. I want to note that the news media people try to represent the problem but they are not seemingly flexible, or au faits of the saga. The book under review is however much more clear with respect of the past and present aspects of the dillema. It follows that President Carter can describe the actual state of affair at a unusual level of perception and it is the most revealing document I have perused since the 1950s. He rightfully describes the isreali USA backed authoritarian mode which is in effect in most ways has destroyed the ability to function of the Arab community, rockets and bombs notwitstanding. The book demonstrate the deep interrest of President Carter and his lady given his many visits they made, before, in OFFICE and after his tenure as President. And he has a very refined way of representing the real nature of
Headline for your review the ways of life of the populations in most true and informative terms. Having read that book, one then has a non- CNN version and the President explains the facts of an unnaceptable situation of unfair occupancy and total supervision of the Arab population.This book will enlighten you beyond the past involvments of the Arafat/Clinton it will clarify your opinion as you get the real details. This book in addition to another related book , "The Generals Son' also from Amazon will bring you up to par with the Middle East Mishandlings before and after the UN Partition vote allowing 55% of the Arab land for isrealis a fact that was obviously ignored with no repercussions from UN. it should behoove us all, who stay current with the World, to read this book as it contains the facts as Jimmy Carter, the PRES, relates them in this high focus book, I now know more about the ruling and the ruled structures of the levant.

Jimmy Carter: Profile in Courage

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

Former US President Jimmy Carter could have written the politically correct talking points required from US leaders toward the Palestine-Israeli ongoing peace negotiations. However, this is the man who told America "I will never tell a lie to the American people".
In this book Carter tells it as he sees it, no fairy tales. He sees a situation whereby "The Occupied Territories" as held by Israel, as existing in the same state as the whites held and treated the blacks in white South African, before change finally occurred there. He speaks in detail, comparing how things were at his first visit to Jerusalem as opposed to horror he sees in those same "Occupied Territories" places. To understand the gruesomeness involved in the oppression of the Palestinians, I highly recommend this book.
After Carter published this book he was subjected to an absolutely hideous backlash, which pain he accepted for simply telling the truth, and this is way I think he is one of the most courageous leaders that our country has ever had.

A deep and refreshing analysis of the question. Some might not like it but I suggest to read it without prejudice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

A book that generated many controversies and quarrels about the subject and the simple, straightforward approach to it by the former President of USA.
It is about the pointless unresolved Palestine question, which he does not underestimate but also does not tolerate it can still be unresolved now that we live in the 3rd millennium.
Carter has been maybe the finest and most committed American President, talking about peace, a just global balance of power and a less selfish role of America in a changing world.
He often addressed his people about not thinking to be better, superior and more important than the rest of the world, and that is why he was not re-elected, because he spoke the truth and the truth is not acceppted when it questions a long-time tradition of patriottism and self-celebration. And with the same courage he tackled with this really hard subject and took an unpopular position, at least to the eyes of his country, a longtime partner of Israel. But the point is that he needed to question all the unquestioned clichè about that conflict and the rights and wrongs of the 2 middle east people, to refresh the approach to the matter, showing the american people that most historical and more recent aspects of that story have been always told in a biased way, like to protect and support Israel but, in the long terms, ending up putting that very people in his own trap, instead of facing all the sides of the truth and urging for a real change of the situation. To see what happened after this book, please also watch the excellent documentary made by Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, etc...) who followed Carter in his tour to present the book, and revealed the man (a great and honest man) behind the president

Well Balanced

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book arrived Monday and I finished it today (Tuesday). I am of an age which allows me to remember a lot of what is covered. To be honest I thought at first it was going to be another whitewash job. However, further into the book I changed my mind. Jimmy Carter has given a remarkably well balanced account of the troubles in the Middle East. Where a lot of people might feel the criticism of the Israeli behavior and attitude is too harsh they are reading with a biased mind. Carter lays blame where it is due and is critical of both sides in equal measure. A very good overall picture of what has gone badly wrong and offers a political solution. I would gladly recommend this book to any one wanting to learn about recent middle east history written with the flair of a novelist that makes the facts easy to absorb.

Some major historical vents are mentioned for those who don't know the Middle East. President Carter' views and opinion expressed in this book are unfortunetly not been widley exposed oin the media (USA, Europe) because they were, although objectively expressed, critical against Israel which is not only ignoring the UN resolutions but also using arms wich are prohibited by international laws. Israel is fast to condemn those who don't respect them but they apply to them they constantly defy the whole world and the whole world doesn't dare criticise them. I recommend this book for everybody, old and young.

A view from inside the corridors of power which has concluded that peace is needed to bring this conflict to an end and the current system of Apartheid being perpetuated against the Palestinian will never be the solution, if a peaceful indeed is being sought.
