Israeli Critic of Settlements Attacked in Pipe Bombing

HeadlineSep 26, 2008

Meanwhile, in Israel, an Israeli historian known for his criticism of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has been targeted in a bombing attack. Zeev Sternhell was lightly injured when a pipe bomb exploded at his Jerusalem home. Israeli police say they’re investigating right-wing settler groups. Fliers found near Sternhell’s home were said to offer hundreds of thousands of dollars for killing members of Peace Now, an Israeli group also critical of the settlements. Born in 1935 in Poland, Sternhell survived the Nazi Holocaust. He is widely known for his studies on fascism.
