14 Carter Center Advisers Resign, Citing Book About Palestine January 13th, 2007
By Jason Kelly and Mary Jane Credeur
Jan. 11 (Bloomberg) — Fourteen advisers to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s center for human rights resigned today, citing his stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Former Presidential adviser S. Stephen Selig III and Caribou Coffee Co. Chief Executive Officer Michael Coles were among the resigning members of the Board of Councilors to the Carter Center.
They quit the Atlanta-based organization in reaction to Carter’s book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” as well as his statements since its publication last year. Carter portrays the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as a “purely one-sided affair,” with Israel holding all of the responsibility for resolving it, they say.
What is disappointing in this is that these are only 14 of the more than 200 members of the Board of Councilors. Others, such as Arthur Blank, founder of Home Depot Inc. are only saying this:
“The book and the tone of the interviews that I have seen since its publication distress me and many others whose views I respect,” Blank said in the statement, which was e-mailed to Bloomberg News. “I’m not prepared to discuss what, if any, actions I might take related to President Carter’s book or the public reactions to it.”
ISM Is A Front for Terrorists September 14th, 2006
Apparently there is an organization called the International Solidarity Movement (how’s that for a euphemism!?), they are supposedly just another of the many peacenik groups trying to help those poor oppressed refugees on the West Bank and Gaza. Supposedly. Now we know the real story, thanks to FrontPage Magazine:
As a front group for Palestinian terrorists, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) sends young people from all over the world to the training fields of the West Bank and Gaza to learn from terrorists and to aid them logistically. Stop the ISM has now obtained photographs of ISM leaders and organizers holding AK-47 assault rifles. The images show some of the ISM women disguised as Jews living in the West Bank and in the company of an Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade terrorist.
