...Finkelstein-Weiss deception.” Although I cannot speak to attacks against Weiss, I had attended the Feb. 22 talk by DePaul University professor Norman G. Finkelstein at the Kennedy School of Government entitled “Is Jimmy Carter Anti-Semitic?” At the lecture the “fringe views among the general public” expressed by Finkelstein through his entire, very moderate and reasoned talk, were citations from World Court rulings. At the lecture, he spent no time at all speaking about Hezbollah, let alone “praising the terrorist group...
Indeed, if anyone is to bring peace and an end to Israeli-Palestinian violence it is men like Professor Finkelstein and President Jimmy Carter who have the guts to point out some atrocious policies and human rights violations that Israel has and continues to conduct.

He criticized the book’s argument and called Carter’s writing irresponsible, saying that the situation in Israel could...
...book made you a celebrity; now, being a celebrity gets you a book deal. Bookstores abound with middling memoirs that made it through publishing houses because of the author’s name recognition. Of course, some celebrities do write “real” books. Jimmy Carter wrote a novel that, to most reports, wasn’t half bad, though it does have a sex scene (a disturbing thought). A whole bevy of celebrities, from Jodie Foster to Jamie Lee Curtis, have written children’s books. Not all approve of these celebrity compositions. The MotherReader...
