| Other media report about the boykott of the fair because Israel was there. Islamic countries and French intellecutals were boykotting the fair, there were demonstrations. People like Amoz Oz responded, that who is boykotting the fair because of Israel was boykotting Israel. Meanwhile Aharon Shabtaï bokotted the fair himself. Supported by people likeBenny Ziffer, the chef of literature at "Haaretz",. He said in an interview with "Libération", that it was inmoral, if israeli authors got honoured in Paris, while palastinian mothers were kept in the cold of israeli checkpoints." I found this quite remarkable and interesting. |
