  2. These men and women should be commended and credited for defending the Israeli intelligentsia’s honour, which had been discarded in the cess pit of colonialism by Oz, Yehoshua et al.

  3. I’m happy to see that Aharon Shabtai, the husband of late Tanya Reinhart, is on the list. Not that I doubted he would sign such a letter.
    “And when it’s all over
    My dear, dear reader
    On which benches will we have to sit
    Those of us who shouted ‘Death to the Arabs’
    And those who claimed they ‘didn’t know’ ”
    Aharon Shabtai: Nostalgia (2002)

    Nir Baram made a very courageous speech at the International Writers’ Festival in Jerusalemn in 2010 including:
    “Under cover of the victims’ cloak that history has admittedly sewn for us Jews, we are witness to the systematic violation of the rights of non-Jews in the State of Israel and the Occupied Territories”
    Since then the organizers require speakers to submit their speeches for prior review.
