The Bible Belt Blog has a recording of a recent interview with former president Jimmy Carter.

He comments on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Explaining why the Bush administration is worse than its predecessors, he points to the lack of peace talks.

"For the first time since Israel was founded, we've had zero peace talks to try to bring a resolution of differences in the Middle East. That's a radical departure from the past."

The claim is false, under any reasonable definition of "peace talks".
