Board Members Resign En Masse From (Jimmy) Carter Center

ourteen members of an advisory board at the Carter Center resigned today, concluding they could “no longer in good conscience continue to serve” following publication of former President Jimmy Carter’s controversial book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.”
“It seems that you have turned to a world of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy,” the board members wrote in a letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “We can no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising position."

Where was this "strident and uncompromising position" back in 1979, I wonder? Seems there's only one race on earth for whom Jimmy Carter's heart doesn't bleed.
