Jimmy Carter will speak about his disgraceful new book at Brandeis University next week, and Brandeis has worked out a deal to have Alan Dershowitz present a rebuttal (even though Carter still refuses to debate): Brandeis University to Allow Rebuttal After Carter Speech.

WASHINGTON — Former President Jimmy Carter won’t go unchallenged after his appearance next week at Brandeis University, where he is lecturing on his latest book about what he terms the Palestinian apartheid by Israel.

Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz will step on stage afterward to rebut the former president’s remarks despite having been booted from an earlier booking to debate Carter on his assertions.

“I think the inaccuracies of Carter’s points have to be pointed out. Carter said he wrote the book in order to stimulate a debate, but he won’t debate. I’m debating him whether he’s there or not,” Dershowitz told FOXNews.com.

“If his chair is empty, then that’s his decision,” he said.
