‘The World According to Carter’
Alan Dershowitz’s piece, “The World According to Carter,” was disturbing [Arts & Letters, November 22, 2006]. Professor Dershowitz makes a compelling case by exposing the one-sided arguments presented by former President Carter. It is sad that a former president closely identified with his religious beliefs fails to see the refusal of the Arabs and the Palestinians to accept Israel. President Carter exhibited courage and moral force by creating the President’s Commission on the Holocaust and the first U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. I served on both panels as the youngest member and only child of a survivor. We must remember that the Holocaust was a basis for the creation of Israel and any threats to its security are a signal for greater vigilance. We don’t need former presidents becoming forgetful.
