The Carter Center

At the Carter Center, from November 6 to 9, 1983, Stein directed a conference on the Middle East called "Middle East Consultation: Five Years After Camp David."See [http://www.cartercenter.org/about/history/chronology_1980.html "Timeline and History of The Carter Center": 1981-1989] .] He was "appointed Carter Center Middle East Fellow in 1983." As appointed by Emory University, he directed the Center from December 1983 through June 1986 and advised President Carter on the Middle East (page 6 of Stein's "CV"). Stein was a Carter Center monitor of the Palestinian Presidential and Legislative Council elections in January 1996. Stein remained Middle East Fellow of the Carter Center until the publication of Carter's book "Palestine Peace Not Apartheid" resigning in December 2006.

"Palestine Peace Not Apartheid", by Jimmy Carter

In protest against the publication of a book he perceived as historically incorrect in many instances, Stein resigned publicly from his position as Middle East Fellow of the Carter Center in December 2006. In his subsequent public lectures and media appearances, Stein, who "made Middle East trips with Carter in 1983, 1987 and 1990, [and] was "partner" with Carter in writing an earlier Middle East volume, "The Blood of Abraham," published in 1985", has criticized Carter's book for what he alleges are its multiple errors and omissions.Rebecca Trounson, [http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-carter13jan13,1,5006028.story "Former Aide Criticizes Carter Over Mideast Book:] In L.A., Kenneth Stein Says 'falsehoods' in Book on Mideast Prompted His Resignation", "Los Angeles Times" January 13, 2007, accessed January 13, 2007.] About his resignation from the Carter Center, he said: "I had to make a clean break.... My professional reputation was being affected."

Stein's [http://www.meforum.org/article/1633/ detailed review] of the book appears in the "Middle East Quarterly".Kenneth W. Stein, [http://www.meforum.org/article/1633/ "My Problem with Jimmy Carter's Book,"] "Middle East Quarterly" 14.2 (March 2007). Accessed February 5, 2007.]
