People love to critique books they've never read. I bet those resignees didn't read it and I bet those criticizing it here haven't read it. I heard an interview with Carter and what he said made perfect sense. Israel is IN Palestine and treating the Palestinians IN THEIR OWN LAND like second class citizens. This isn't about what Israel does inside Israel, it's about what they are doing inside Palestine, in the occupied territory. This reminds me of the book The Davinci Code, when so many Christians declared they were against the book and they refuse to read it. I know two people personally who told me that, as that was what the Church was telling them. It's a strange phenomenon. People declaring a book to be crap, before they even read it.
