The Truth Behind the Jimmy Carter Controversy featuring Dr. Kenneth Stein
A respected author and Middle East scholar, Dr. Stein gained worldwide fame in 2006 when he resigned his 23 year association with the Carter Center of Emory University to publicly protest and distance himself from President Carter's book "Palestine Peace Not Apartheid."
Stein's resignation and public criticism of the former president's book garnered international media coverage and has resulted in a singularly unique perspective.
Stein has been a renowned Middle East scholar and teacher for three decades at Emory University. He is also the Director of the Emory Institute for the Study of Modern Israel and President of the Center for Israel Education.
Both institutions promote scholarship and learning about modern Israel.
