[CAMERA] Tamar Sternthal - On Nov. 6, Jimmy Carter published an op-ed in the International Herald Tribune endorsing Goldstone's report. CAMERA has requested corrections of five factual errors in his essay. Carter wrote that Gaza is "surrounded by an impenetrable wall." In fact, most of the barrier along Gaza's land border is a fence, not a wall. The Gaza-Egypt border is separated by a wall. Carter claimed "almost 40,000 homes" were destroyed during the fighting. Al Mazen Center for Human Rights, an anti-Israel Palestinian NGO, recently issued a report stating 2,632 homes were destroyed beyond repair and 8,522 were damaged and were repairable. Carter speaks of "several hundred thousand homeless people." AP reported on Nov. 9, 2009: "The UN estimates around 20,000 Gaza residents were made homeless." Carter writes: "The Goldstone committee examined closely the cause of deaths of 1,387 Palestinians who perished." In fact, the report does not closely examine the causes of death for Palestinian individuals. Finally, Carter writes of the "destruction of hospitals." International and Palestinian sources confirm that while there were damaged hospitals in Gaza, none were destroyed. 2009-11-13 06:00:00Full Article
