President Carter Uses Book Tour To Influence '08 US Presidential Elections:
As you know, the Simon Wiesenthal Center recently launched its Campus Outreach initiative to support students primarily on North American university campuses who are confronted with campaigns to demonize and delegitimize Israel. Unfortunately, there is no sign of this letting up. Adding to this is the university lecture tour by former President Jimmy Carter to promote Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, his book filled with fabrications and myths about Israel. After hearing from students across North America that there is a need on campuses to combat this continuous one-sided bias against Israel, the Center’s Campus Outreach Department has created Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid – Major Fabrications and Distortions, a brochure addressing the major distortions featured in President Carter’s book. Additionally, Simon Wiesenthal Center Campus Advocates, our campus student activists, will be distributing our new brochure at the University of California, Berkeley when President Carter speaks there on May 2, 2007. As President Carter travels around speaking to young people, help us give our young Jewish students the tools to fight back. Please help us distribute this brochure and support our efforts by emailing this to all of your friends and family. Together we can make a difference! |
