'Carter has been the only American president with the candor to call out Israel for mirroring apartheid policies of South Africa.'
So it’s timely to revisit the message, consequences, and reactions to that book, as his passing approaches.they once had, their branding and character assassination of Carter doesn’t reflect so badly on him, when you consider the source.
Ironically, Carter’s greatest accomplishment was to broker the 1978 Camp David Accords, initiating the first bilateral Israeli-Egyptian relations. It had the effect of neutralizing Egyptian military might and removing the only serious threat to Israel. Though PM Menachem Begin was Israel’s signatory to the Camp David agreements, it was Carter’s long-standing friendship with Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin, who was Israel’s US ambassador from 1968-‘73, which laid the groundwork.
. In 2015, Carter proclaimed the two-state solution to be dead, and candidly blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In his book, Carter argued that Israel’s ongoing occupation of Palestine was the primary obstacle to peace in the region. On his most recent visit, Carter dispensed with any attempt to contact Netanyahu as a “waste of time,” considering his recent requests were met with non-responses. Carter said that Bibi “does not now and has never sincerely believed in a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
Carter lost in 1980 because of a confluence of bad political dynamics: 1.) Recession brought on by Fed Chairman Paul Volcker’s exorbitant interest rate hike, 2.) The US Boycott of the Soviet Olympics, 3.) The candidacy of John Anderson, who siphoned more votes from Carter than he did from Reagan by a 2-1 margin, 4.
