Mass resignations over Jimmy Carter book

Mass resignations over Jimmy Carter book


ATLANTA Jimmy Carter's latest book is enough to prompt a load of resignations from an advisory board at the human rights organization he and his wife started.


Fourteen members are quitting the Carter Center's advisory board. They're upset over the ex-president's book called "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," which is especially critical of Israeli policy.The book has been attacked by several quarters, including some of Carter's fellow Democrats. It also led to last month's resignation of a Carter Center fellow who had been its first executive director. At the time he complained the book was one-sided and full of errors.
