Let's hope nobody will vote for him.

Cynical attempt by these pseudo intellectuals to use Israel prize institution to further their own political agenda. The only thing they achieve is the discredit of all the previous prize recipients and tarnish the credibility of this now worthless prize.

and a reason to vote for Netanyahu. Now the money will be freed up to help real people, not rich Leftist "artists"

1. as yet only an international sculptor and universal playwrite seem to have missed the absence of israel prize in lit. 2. back to milton's who judges the judges -- a national/human problem both in our supreme court and our artistic prizes.... the monies for both of which come from taxpayers who wouldnt vote for either group. or their judgments. 3. nothing like democratic universal miseducation to alert the voters that they are not considered equal to the self appointed judges.... 4. how about trying to get a national referendum on the judges themselves, and on their judgments --secular, religious, and artistic ...let alone arrogantly political?
