Camp David’s Failures: Jimmy Carter’s Opposition to Israeli Apartheid Wasn’t Enough to Secure Peace

“Camp David’s Failures: Jimmy Carter’s Opposition to Israeli Apartheid Wasn’t Enough to Secure Peace” examines President Jimmy Carter’s legacy, particularly his Middle East efforts and the 1978 Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt. Carter faced criticism for his book “Palestine, Peace, Not Apartheid,” which compared Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to apartheid in South Africa, despite achieving a lasting peace treaty. Historian Seth Anziska discusses Carter’s vision for Middle East peace, focusing on Palestinian statehood and his post-presidency activism rooted in a commitment to justice and the unresolved issues from Camp David.
