Carter Prays With Rabbis Angered by Book
Former President Carter Talks With Rabbis About Controversial New
Book on Mideast Conflict

By CHRIS KAHN

PHOENIX Dec 13, 2006 (AP)— Former President Carter prayed with rabbis
who are angered by his new book's reference to apartheid in describing
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but he didn't change their minds.

The Board of Rabbis of Greater Phoenix said they wouldn't call for a
boycott of Carter's book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," but they also
won't suggest that anyone read it.

"I don't know if he gets the evil that we are facing," said Rabbi Bonnie
Koppell of Scottsdale.

Carter, 82, was met by a crowd of protesters as he appeared at a book
store in suburban Tempe to autograph copies of the book.

Glad to see Obama's book on the top 10 as well!

2. I don't know if he gets the evil that we are facing

It doesn't take many words to see why the efforts of a humanitarian like Carter will be for naught. The other guy is always evil, while we are so righteous.
