Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid Audiobook

" Carter's analysis really isn't very strong. His politics are pretty conventional, as one would expect from a former imperial manager (er, I mean US President). The book was such a sensation because of Carter's standing and reputation, not because of his groundbreaking theorization. The best part about it is that it makes Zionists absolutely frantic and pissy, which means that it has some real utility. "

" I actually listened to this while traveling over the weekend. Very insightful. Plus, nothing beats the reading being done by the actual author. Excellent. "

" President Carter didn't hold anything back- he put the smack down on all sides, including the United States. "

" I learned a little of the history of the middle east conflict surrounding the Jews in Israel. I felt that Carter was somewhat slanted in putting more blame on Israel for the conflicts and that he focused more of the book on that. I felt he didn't write enough about the attrocities that Palestinians have inflicted. "

" I liked reading about his evolution of thinking regarding this complicated area of the world. "

" Very controversial title for a not really controversial book. Obviously his points are spot on, there just wasn't anything new. "

" I struggled with this book, and consequently never finished. I will try again though. So many dates, so much conflict. "

" When the AJT editor called it, "a stupid little book, I had to read it. "

" I saw him speak and this book. The book was great but he is amazing!! "

" Not the best book to read on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but interesting to see Carter's assessment of events. His book does lack lots of historical information, e.g no mention of the Nakbah. However, I quite like Jimmy Carter. He seems like a decent bloke. "

" This is the second time I have tried to read a Jimmy Carter book. I haven't been very impressed either time with his writing. I would guess that there are several other books out there that are better on this topic. "

" Learned that peace will not realize in middle east with out a two country proposal "

" This is the one that angered some of Carter's followers. I liked it. It's not hard to have sympathy for Israel, but this book shows that they share some of the blame. "

" Former President Carter took an awful lot of flack for this book, but I did not feel that it was in any way anti-Semitic or anti-Israel. Rather, I think he tried to present the other side of the story. I think it was a brave and well-intentioned book. "

" An indepth look at the possibilties of peace in the middle east. "

" Can't believe he was our president. "

" Just started reading for book club. Couldn't finish it. Too much like having to read a text book. Really good information, but very confusing to me. "

" Interesting thus far, I like how he combines personal experience with history and current events. Brings to life a lot of names I've learned about and heard about. What a troubled region, fascinating to learn more about it. "

" Read one chapter "The Wall as a Prison" if you don't want to read the entire book. Excellent easy history on the conflict between Israel and the Palestine people. "

" This book provides you with a provocative description of the activities taking place in Israel. I liked the information and appreciate that someone like President Carter takes the time to advocate for the Palesines. "

" Can't believe he was our president. "

" I agree with 90% of what Jimmy Carter says in this book... "

" not a huge fan of non-fiction - but I loved this "

" This was like homework! It was really difficult for me to get through, but it sure makes you think about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Great discussion and in the end, I'm very glad I know a little bit more about that conflict. "

" Hard to argue with Jimmy's logic. It's sad that his common-sense analysis of the conflict was considered highly controversial here in the U.S. "

" Interesting thus far, I like how he combines personal experience with history and current events. Brings to life a lot of names I've learned about and heard about. What a troubled region, fascinating to learn more about it. "

" I must read if you do not know much about the occupation in Palestine. "
