Maya Sela, Haaretz Correspondent: Israeli wins French prize for book questioning origins of Jewish people
Talkback
Title: Literary or politics? Name: howiej City: NJ/USA State:
Was the prize awarded because of literary merit or the findings of the author? How quaint of the French to give a prize to a book whose findings can be used to cut the connections between the Jews of today with those of ancient times. Sort of negates the reasons behind the establishment of the State of Israel.
