Former President Carter turned down a request to debate Alan Dershowitz about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying the outspoken Harvard law professor "knows nothing about the situation."
Carter, author of a new book advocating "peace not apartheid" in the region, said he will not visit Brandeis University to discuss the book because the university requested he debate Dershowitz.
"I don't want to have a conversation even indirectly with Dershowitz," Carter said in Friday's Boston Globe. "There is no need ... to debate somebody who, in my opinion, knows nothing about the situation in Palestine."
"President Carter said he wrote the book because he wanted to encourage more debate; then why won't he debate?" said Dershowitz,...
Brandeis was founded in 1948 as a nonsectarian university under the sponsorship of the American Jewish community. Carter said he initially was interested in going there.
"I thought it would be a good idea to go to a campus that had a lot of Jewish students and get a lot questions," he said. But then the initial proposal evolved into a plan for a debate.

Becaus Dershowitz would make him look silly and he know it. Dershowitz would clean his clock.
In any debate, Dershowitz would turn Carter into peanut butter.
He does not want anyone questioning him.
If Alan "....knows nothing about the situation in Palestine", then they would be on equal footing for the debate.
LOL! Like Hillary Clinton, Jimmah can't stand the heat of real discussion.
The breathtaking arrogance of the leftist. Like, what insight does Jimmah have that makes his view superior?
Carter is not only an anti-semite (as is most of the left), and the worst president we've ever had, he is also a coward.
Anyone who writes anything - be it a master's dissertation, or a high school paper - or a news column - should be ready to defend it.
But then a man who breaks two hundred year protocol of a past president NEVER denigrating a sitting president - is a coward.
He even ran from a "giant" rabbit....
Come on, Jimmy, be a man - a mensch - defend what you wrote.
This is not exactly true. He loves being interviewed by the sycophantic fellow travelers in the main stream press.
So Jimmy's come out of the closet as a true "do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do" Limousine Liberal!
Jimmah' won't debate because he knows he'll get crushed...
like a peanut.
IMO, they should be asked to demonstrate the others lack of knowledge by agreeing to one debate to prove their point, after which, if they succeed, they will not be asked to debate any more.
When they refuse to prove their point, they should be asked why they have so little faith in the sanity and practicality of their own beliefs. Then just stand back and watch them self-destruct.
Da Dersh is certifiable, a lunatic. Watching open a can of whupass on Jiminy Carter is too much fun to contemplate.
"There is no need ... to debate somebody who, in my opinion, knows nothing about the situation in Palestine."
"Joos don't know nothin'."
"...then why won't he debate?"

Because Carter, like most utopian leftists, are lying hypocrites in their faux reality and he would AGAIN be exposed. If it were not for the media, Carter would be in a rest home where his sick, anti-American mind belongs.
Jimmah' wanted questions only from students, who might not be as willing to put him on the spot...
