James M. Wall of The Christian Century is in hog heaven over Jimmy Carter's book. Wall is the senior contributing editor who called Hamas and Hizballah "Nongovernmental Groups," and is a divestment supporter. His latest, Apartheid Denial, is predictable stuff, defending Carter and using quotations from Jewish voices to do so. You can read it yourself if you choose, but I did want to make a brief comment on one section, where Wall takes a shot at Holocaust scholar Deporah Lipstadt:

Stop right there. This is an inversion of fact. In fact, it is Irving who sued Lipstadt. Lipstadt conducted a successful defense. She certainly did not sue David Irving for being a "Holocaust denier" (in (scare?) quotes). What is going through Wall's head here?

On the contrary, over 60 years of Arab war against the region's Jews and each other has brought enormous suffering to the Palestinian Arabs, nothing else. A two-state solution was in the offing in 1947. They rejected it and launched a war. They lost, and have been losing ever since, thanks in large measure to their enablers in the West.
