«The Cardozo School of Law, which is associated with Yeshiva University, has decided to honor former U.S. President Jimmy Carter with its annual "International Advocate for Peace" award on Wednesday. This has many alumni and other members of the Jewish community up in arms not least of which is because of Carter's penchant for labeling Israel an "apartheid state"  and his chumminess with Yasser Arafat and the current Hamas leadership.

"I can't imagine a worse person to honor for conflict resolution. Here's a man who has engendered conflict wherever he goes. He has encouraged terrorism by Hamas and Hezbollah. He was partly responsible for Yasser Arafat turning down the Clinton-Barak peace offer," Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told The Algemeiner in an interview. Dershowitz wrote about Carter in his book "The Case Against Israel's Enemeies: Exposing Jimmy Carter and Others Who Stand in the Way of Peace."
