The "Jewish conspiracy" slur
Jimmy Carter is ever more strange, and now has some serious explaining to do. Is there a reporter out there with the stones to confront him?

It could be true... keep in mind, "university campuses" implies a minimum of two such places. Maybe he graciously gave this offer to Bar Ilan university and Yeshiva university.
Carter makes a good point though - it's extremely hard to find any pro-Palestinian rhetoric on college campuses. It's almost as hard as finding factual inaccuracies in statements by Jimmy Carter.

Ah. It’s a Jewish Conspiracy to prevent former President Carter from being heard. And all this time I thought it was his dumb ideas and his lousy book.

I suspect that Jimmy's mind is long gone. What we are left with is just empty talking points from the Left.

Mycroft, very interesting observation. I thought Carter was an unsuccessful president, but not an especially vindictive or prejudiced one. That seems to have gradually emerged, and you may have hit upon why.
As to colleges with large Jewish enrollment which turned him down, I wonder if he considers any opposition at all to be a rejection of his message at this point. He has avoided journalists who might challenge him, and ME discussions which allow question or debate.

President Carter's analysis of the MidEast is a continuation of the Standard Dialog (SD): Palestinians are the indigenous, viciously removed from their homeland by Israel, possessing a Right of Return that passes from generation to generation. Where there were 600,000 displaced Arabs at the time of the 1948 Arab attack, there are now 6 million 'displaced' Palestinian Arabs. Supported by decades of anti-semitic UN Resolutions, Carter's book only serves to support SD.
Two-State solution? Arabs won't support it because they can't accept the presence of Israel anywhere in the MidEast, much less the dead center of the MidEast. There are 21, or is it 22?, Arab nations surrounding Israel already, and the Arabs want one more?
Terrorists willing to stop homicide bombings if given another Arab state? Not likely; by Arab's own admission, as long as Israel exists, peace would be impossible.
Palestinian Arabs have been able to convince the world that they are a distinct nation and people whose claim to Palestine pre-dates the 1948 UN resolution going back thousands of years. 3,000 years of archealogical evidence disputes that claim.
The West Bank of the Jordan River was recognized in 1948 as part of Israel. The Trans-Jordanians siezed then retained that territory following the Arab invasion in 1948 and the Israelis recovred it in 1967, but somehow it is the 'Occupied Territory' today. Even if Carter had his way, and the West Bank was 'returned' to the Palestinian Arabs to create their own sovereign nation, peace would not suddenly break out.
Revisionist history and wishful thinking are not the solution to the problem.

The solution to the problem is for one side or the other to be ground so far into the dirt that they either cry 'uncle' or lose the ability to resist.
But that's not ok to say these days...
