By Jimmy Carter. Well, it's official: former President Jimmy Carter is now considered a "Holocaust denier." Yes, that's the formal word from a professor of religion who is touted by the mass media as the world's leading authority on "who's a Holocaust denier and who isn't." No less than Deborah Lipstadt - a hard-looking, mean-tongued agitator ensconced at Emory University in Georgia - announced in a commentary in the Jan. 20 issue of The Washington Post that the former president is guilty of Holocaust denial. The irony is that Carter's book is hardly the anti-Semitic screed those critics suggest. If anything, Carter is only saying what he has been saying - and what millions upon millions of well-meaning people have been saying - for years: that Israel should stop oppressing and discriminating against the Palestinians and that Israel should return to its official pre- 1967 borders. And that is hardly calling for Israel to be wiped off the map, as many of Carter's critics are implicitly suggesting he advocates. If you want to have a solid historical perspective of the last 50 years of the conflict over Palestine, written from the perspective of one who played a key part in seeking its resolution, Carter's book is one you need to read.
