Carter himself admitted on CNN (Dec., 2006):
CNN.com - Transcripts
Aired December 12, 2006 - 23:00 ET
...JIMMY CARTER, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: ...I recognize that Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment under the law between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis. '
Theaboersy following Jimmy Carter’s new book “Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid” continued this week, with the former president arguing on news talk shows that the book’s loudest critics are attacking its title and not its content.
Speaking yesterday to NPR’s Leonard Lopate — who noted he had only once received more protests about having a guest on his show (that was when when Jane Fonda stopped by) — Mr. Carter said that the book was being maligned by people who hadn’t read it:
Most of the people that seem to be critical have not read the book, or they haven’t referred to anything inside Palestine, and the book is not written about Israel at all. I know that Israel is a wonderful democracy with equal treatment of all citizens whether Arab or Jew. And so I very carefully avoided talking about anything inside Israel. The book is about Palestine and what’s going on inside the occupied territories….
But Mr. Carter also said the use of the word apartheid — which critics like Michael Kinsley have condemned as being unfairly loaded and backward — was appropriate. Again, from yesterday’s segment with Mr. Lopate:
I have spent a lot of time in Palestine in recent years. … The Palestinians have had their own land, first of all, occupied and then confiscated and then colonized. They’ve been excluded from their own gardens and fields, and pastures and churches. They have been severely restrained in their movements. They have to have different kinds of passes to go through different checkpoints inside their own lands on their own roads. The Israelis have built more than 200 settlements inside Palestine. They connect these settlements with very nice roads for the Israeli settlers, and then superhighways and so forth going into Jerusalem. Quite often the Palestinians are prevented from even riding on those roads that have been built in their own territory. So this has been in many ways worse than it was in South Africa. Of course, there were many more horrible atrocities in South Africa, but the word apartheid is quite pertinent.
Appearing on CNN this morning, Mr. Carter told Soledad O’Brien that Israel would have peace if it simply withdrew from the Palestinian territories.
Needless to say, the book — and Mr. Carter’s positions — have both been drawing heat. The Anti-Defamation League has launched a full-frontal assault, with advertising campaigns in major newspapers suggesting that “Mr. Carter does not advance public debate. He diminishes it.” (A PDF of the ad is available here).
The ADL Web site states: “If only former President Carter would spend a fraction of his time and energy on getting the Palestinians to abandon their self-destructive policies, maybe then there could be some hope for the people of the Middle East.”
And the controversy was stirred considerably when Kenneth Stein, a fellow at the Carter Center, the former president’s well-known human rights foundation at Emory University, resigned his post in protest over the book last week.
On Tuesday, The Emory Wheel, the student newspaper of Emory University, published a fuller account of Professor Stein’s problems with the book — which revolve around what he characterizes as historical inaccuracies in the text, rather than the title.
For example (from The Emory Wheel article):
Stein, who worked closely with Carter in the 1980s, said the former president’s first error concerns United Nations Security Council Resolution 242. Signed in November 1967, the agreement has been used as the basis for all subsequent Arab-Israeli negotiations.
In his book, Carter writes that the resolution says, “Israel must withdraw from occupied territories” it acquired by force during the Six-Day War in 1967 between Israel and Egypt, Jordan and Syria.
But the word “must” never appears in the actual U.N. resolution text.
Stein argued that each word in the resolution was carefully chosen and by inserting the word “must,” Carter changed the implications of this key resolution.
Other similar claims of historical misrepresentation were also cited.
Mr. Stein is also apparently concerned about smaller errors in the book: Mr. Carter said he met with Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad in Switzerland in June 1977 when the meeting appears to have taken place in May; Mr. Carter writes that Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir resigned in June 1974, though Mr. Stein said she resigned a month earlier.
Meanwhile, the debate over the book unfolds, strangely, against the backdrop of the bizarre symposium in Tehran this week, which seeks to discuss whether the Holocaust actually happened.

Four “founding mothers” who lived in Europe a thousand years ago were the ancestors of two fifths of all Ashkenazi (European origin) Jews. This is the conclusion of a team of researchers at the Technion&;Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, after they compared DNA sequences from nearly 2000 Jews with those of 11 500 non–Jewish people in 67 different populations around the world....

CONSPIRACISTS BEHIND THE THEORIES
Within days of the 9/11 attacks, anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories began appearing in the United States and
abroad. In the Middle East, Al-Manar, a Lebanese television station linked to Hezbollah, was one of the main
sources for the false claim that 4,000 Israelis had been told to stay home on the day of the terrorist attacks. In
the United States, publications on the extreme right, particularly the American Free Press (AFP), an anti-Semitic
conspiracy-oriented newspaper, also played a big role in promoting a variety of anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy
theories.

Arabs Seek Russian Aid in Preventing Holy Land Split Delegation May Be Sent to Moscow in Effort to Enlist Help Against British
JERUSALEM, Aug. 8 (UP)
Ahmad Shukairy. head of the Arab office, discussed today that unofficial contacts have been made with Moscow wjth 6 view to obtaining Soviet support for Palestine Arabs in opposing Britain's proposed partition of the Holy Land.
Shukairy said that it was possible that an Arab delegation would be sent to Moscow
even before the Palestine issue is raised before the United Nations general assembly ... "I think the Russians are better equipped to teach the world how racial and religious discrimination could be eradicated," he said. He said that western democracy and democratic principles had failed In Palestine.

On October 6, Mr. Ahmad Shukairy, delegate of Saudi Arabia, according to The New York Times of October 7, “replied” to Mr. Lourie. According to the report of The Times, Mr. Shukairy argued: “As for self determination, “there is no such thing as a Jewish people.” He said there was the religion, Judaism, but asserted that the Jews were not a race, a people or a nation.”
[Note:
About Israel giving refuge to Jews, it isn't a "race", thing. It includes for converts from different background. Orthodox halachic definition of a Jew is clear. But Israel can be a refuge for those that do not constitute to be Jewish according to Halacha, and factual persecution includes for those perceived to be Jewish on the persecutor's hateful eye, partial or whole as in the hater's eye].

Jordanian ex-minister: Arabs supported Hitler because he hated Jews
By DONNA RACHEL EDMUNDS

PROTESTERS IN Amman challenge the US and Israel policies on Jerusalem. ‘A quick review of the public relationship between Israel and Jordan in the last decade reveals multiple crises,’ notes the author.

His comments came days before a Jordanian researcher claimed just 400,000 Jews had been killed by the Nazis.
A former Jordanian minister has told Jordanian TV that Arabs supported Hitler during World War II because he hated the Jews.
His comments came just days before Jordan hosted a Holocaust denial conference, at which a Jordanian journalist claimed that the 'Final Solution' was not the systematic murder of Jews, but merely a plan to drive them out of Germany.
Speaking to Jordan's A One TV on October 9, former Health Minister Dr Zaid Hamzeh recounted that while at school during the war, he and his fellow students were encouraged to demonstrate in support of Hitler.
According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, which surveys Middle Eastern media outlets and provides English translation transcripts, when asked: "Did you support Hitler, like all the Arabs?" Hamzeh replied "Yes."
He continued: "The first demonstration I participated in... They took us out of fourth grade. I was exactly nine years old. I asked: 'What's the demonstration for?' [The slogan was:] 'Down with X, but long live Abu Ali!'
"Abu Ali was a reference to Hitler, but we didn't know that. They didn't tell us. We took to the streets to support him when the Rashid Ali Al-Gailani revolution broke out in Iraq. We supported the revolution, and, of course, [we supported] Hitler, because he hated the Jews, and we have been mad at the Jews ever since those days."
Quizzing him, the interviewer asked if his hatred of Jews was really the reason the Arabs supported Hitler, or whether it was simply because Arabs "love dictators," adding: "We love people who kill and slaughter. We consider this to be a sign of manliness."
Hamzah denied this was the reason, saying "Nobody loves dictators, except for people who have been led astray."
However, he then continued: "But with regard to dictators, you are right. We laud the dictator and wish he would come back. We want him to come riding in on a white horse and to liberate the land, while the people here are in a slumber or watching from the sideline."
His comments were made just days before Jordanian researcher and journalist Muwaffaq Muhadin denied millions of Jewish deaths at the hands of the Nazis.
Speaking at a conference entitled "The Holocaust – the Biggest Lie in Modern History," broadcast by Al-Finiq TV (Jordan) on October 14, 2019, Muhadin claimed that, at most, 400,000 Jews died in the concentration camps.
"Nobody denies that hundreds of thousands of Jews, and maybe more, were killed during WWII,' he said. "I'm saying 'killed,' and not 'burned.' There is a difference between being killed and being burned in a systematic manner. The number of Gypsies, for example, that were killed is much bigger than the number of Jews that were killed. The Russian army and the Russian people lost 20 million people [in the war].
"Let's agree that the number of people killed in the camps and outside of them is between 600,000 and 800,000. Between 600,000 and 800,000. Let's assume that half of them were Jews. This means that no more than 400,000 Jews were killed in the war. This is the number of Jews who died – that is, who passed away – in WWII."
He added: "Millions were killed in this war from among all the European peoples. The Jews were killed just like the Germans were killed. Millions were killed from Nazi Germany itself. So Jews and non-Jews alike were killed."
Zyklon B, the gas used to murder Jews, was, he claimed "essential for purifying clothes from insects and diseases - especially typhus."
Explaining away the Nazi's Final Solution to exterminate the Jewish population, Muhadin claimed it was merely designed to encourage Jewish emigration.
"[The Nazis told the Jews]: We encourage you to leave this country," he said. "Go, and take your possessions and your money with you. Go and leave us alone. We do not want Jews in Germany. This [Jewish] influence, which destroyed the German and even the Western culture – we do not want it in our country. This is what they called the 'Final Solution.' For the Germans, the 'Final Solution' meant driving the Jews out of Germany.
Tensions have been mounting between Jordan and Israel in recent months. In August, Jordanian members of parliament renewed a recommendation that the Israeli ambassador in Amman be expelled from the country to protest Israeli "violations" against the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
