antisemitic laureates

Antisemitic Laureates should not be celebrated - opinion: Agatha Christie, T.S. Eliot, Roald Dahl and Céline are among the most famous antisemitic laureates, so why are they still celebrated?

это Jerusalem Post, via @TOOEdit - enlightening both the article and the comments to this twitter post.

see also Haruki Murakami:

Murakami chose to attend the ceremony, but gave a speech to the gathered Israeli dignitaries harshly criticizing Israeli policies. Murakami said, "Each of us possesses a tangible living soul. The system has no such thing. We must not allow the system to exploit us."
напоминает Raymond Aron, Peace and War
