More abandon the amoral Carter

Former President Carter has lost another longtime ally due to his false, defamatory and disgusting book. You can find the entire letter from Melvin Konner, a doctor and professor at Emory University here. The whole thing is devastating, but I wanted to highlight this bit:

I will call your attention to a sentence on p. 213 that had not stood out for me the first time I read it: "It is imperative that the general Arab community and all significant Palestinian groups make it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism when international laws and the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are accepted by Israel."

As someone who has lived his life as a professional reader and writer, I cannot find any way to read this sentence that does not condone the murder of Jews until such time as Israel unilaterally follows President Carter's prescription for peace. This sentence, simply put, makes President Carter an apologist for terrorists and places my children, along with all Jews everywhere, in greater danger.

So, Jimmy, how does it feel to have trashed every bit of goodwill you've gained over the years for your work with Habitat for Humanity?
