I didn’t say it was unique. I said it is Carter’s guiding precept. Very obviously so. (See his work on Habitat for Humanity and his efforts toward eradication of the Guinea worm for example. Why do you suppose he is involving himself in the Palestinian question at all? I think it is because he feels the Golden Rule impels him.
OK, so you find religious man Carter’s appeals to others to be more religious disturbing. So what? What does you being “disturbed” have to do with resolution of the Palestinian problem? This just looks like an ad hominem attack on Carter to me – an attempt to portray him as a kook.
“Corrupt and evil?” I think I must have missed that quote. I see him expressing Christian concern about the mistreatment of the Samaritans. Where does “evil and corrupt” enter into it. Looks more like an appeal to the Israeli conscience to me.
But again, NONE of that really gets at the issues Carter raises in his book (Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid). Indeed, they seem like distractions from those issues. An attack on the messenger rather than the message.
