Al-Jazeera: Jewish peace winner attacks Israel

Jewish historian Reuven Moskovitz, who was awarded a prestigious peace
prize, fired a broadside at Israel during his acceptance speech. The
outspoken award winner used the glittering occasion to launch an attack
on Israel's policies which have caused misery for millions of
Palestinians. And he called on Europe to exert pressure on Ariel Sharon to stop the
persecution of Palestinians. "All Israel's governing politicians have
transformed the lives of the Palestinian people into an intolerable
hell with their sanctions and expulsions," he said at Monday’s award
ceremony.
