It cannot be said that many were surprised by Carter's latest book (see my previous posting).
His liberal leftist views are well-known and his anti-Israeli tendencies should therefore have been clear before the appearance of his book. Still, based on facts as reported by Neal Shearer, who headed the Justice Department's Nazi Prosecution Office in the late 80's, Carter's bias is more shocking than anyone could have anticipated. According to Shearer, in a case of a known Nazi war criminal's impending prosecution Carter personally intervened appealing on behalf of the man's family on humanitarian grounds.
What should we then think of this former president being allowed to participate in anything related to Israel, Arabs and the peace process? If he doesn't have moral clarity in issues that are completely clear to so many of us, perhaps he'd better devote himself to other matters altogether and leave the Middle East to its own devices?
