The resignations from The Carter Center board are the latest backlash against the former president’s book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” which has drawn fire from Jewish groups, been attacked by fellow Democrats and led to the resignation last month of Kenneth Stein, a center fellow and a longtime Carter adviser.
I'd tend to rethink my premises - but I do that rather regularly anyway...

I'm surprised that it took them this long.
When has Carter not had his anti-Semite views?
