NY Sun: Brandeis Criticized for Honoring Kushner
Mr. Kushner, who has called the founding of Israel a "mistake," and has accused the Jewish state of "behaving abominably towards the Palestinian people," is among seven people who are slated to receive honorary doctorates from the Waltham, Mass.-based university, which has Jewish roots but is nonsectarian.
The degrees are to be awarded on May 21, when Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan will give the commencement address and receive an honorary degree.
The Zionist Organization of America is calling on Brandeis to reconsider its decision to honor Mr. Kushner. "A Jewish-oriented college should not be giving respectability and legitimacy to someone who has been such a hostile critic of Israel," the president of ZOA, Morton Klein, said...
This just plays into the anti zionists hands. It shows to what extent zionists will go to.
They love stories like this.
Mike: you have a point. There are other reasons why Kushner should not receive awards, primarily because he's an appallingly bad writer.
Too bad the hands Mr. Kushner will be played into aren't the homocidally homophobic hands of Hamas.
I don't konw if he's a bad writer or not? not familar but then why did Spielberg choose him as a screen writer?
A friend of mine said a lot of the same cast and story in Munich were all from another either Kushner or Spielberg movie? I forget?
