| WIESENTHAL CENTER RE: CARTER CENTER RESIGNATIONS: “PRESIDENT CARTER HAS ONLY HIMSELF TO BLAME” Upon receiving word that 14 members of the Carter Center Advisory board resigned in protest over President JimmyCarter’s book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said: “President Carter has only himself to blame. He wrote a book that, from its title to its contents, is blatantlyone-sided and unbecoming of a former President, especially one who brokered peace between Egypt and Israel.” In December, immediately following the book’s publication, close to 25,000 people joined the Wiesenthal Center’spetition campaign to rebuke the former President. The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rights organizations with over 400,000member families in the United States. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, and the Council of Europe.
