MPACUK wonders if Jimmy Carter does "debate" keeping in mind the smear campaign launches against him for speaking out against Israel's injustices, how would the debate go like? Maybe something like this?
* Part 1: "You say you had some input into UN Resolution 242..."
* UN Resolution 242: Lord WHO? * Internal investigations of the IDF v. human rights organizations * "the Extremist" and his evidence * "the kind of" two-state settlement * the debate on UN 242: 3 volumes * 1 Orlando Sentinel editorial from yr. 2000 * Part 2: "Listen to his source -- this is a scholar..."* high school syllabus & sonypictures.com -- serious sources? * Dershowitz: "George Orwell's turnspeak" v. Orwell's "newspeak"See also:

I really don't see why a former President of the United States should be expected to debate with anyone. He is old, frail and sincere. He is also worthy of more respect.He has already written his book.It is available for people to read. The people of the US are supposed to be literate. Encourage them to read it, rather than bringing up red herrings like the suggested and useless one-to-one debate.
The necessary and meaningful debate is for the people whom the current President and government are supposed to represent. The situation of the oppressed and trapped people of Palestine is far too urgent, far too grave, for cheeky, irresponsible and small-minded suggestions such as this.

Jimmy Carter hmself said that one of the reasons he wrote the book is to encourage debate on the topic. So why does he refuse to engage in one? They say that a hypocrite is someone who preaches something that he does not himself believe. Carter clearly believes that no debate is necessary though he claims it is, and therefore I think he is an insincere hypocrite.
I think it is even more telling that no one other than Carter would debate the issue with an informed detractor either. Where are CAIR, MPAC, MAS, or other fifth columnists from the anti-American Muslim Brotherhood? Even if Dershowitz were unavailable, I'm sure Islamic scholar Robert Spencer would take them on. The fear of debate says a lot about the merits of this book.

There
was a comment left on the MPACUK website on Jimmy Carter which asked "If Carter
is right and his call for Americans to debate the issues is justified, then why
does he not accept the challenge of Alan Dershowitz for a public debate?"
