Such is the state of British 'higher education.' Pathetic.
2. Why is Jewish prize money given to foreigners who have done
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.26.16)
nothing for Israel or the Jewish people?
3. Professor who?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.26.16)
I'm pleased to say that I've never heard of her. I suppose that as she's historian she must have some knowledge of the circumstances so I can only assume that her antipathy towards Israel myst be ideological.That marks her out as a true Jew-hating anti- Semite. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
4. Check out her other funding
Marvin Thomas ,   Stony Brook USA   (05.26.16)
It would be interesting to see what other funding she receives and/or if she was induced to do this with promises of funding from Qatar and elsewhere.
5. A perfect example of an Intellectual Idiot
Tova ,   Canada   (05.26.16)
These groups would follow Hitler in a second. No wonder young people are being educated in ignorance. Churchill and Thacther would definetly thrown out the BDS movement in Britian.
6. Why would any Israeli org honour a Jew/Israel basher?
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.26.16)
The real issue here is not that an Israel basher rejected an Israeli award. That is predictable. The real question: What kind of mental sickness motivates an Israeli organization to honour a Jew and Israel basher?

13. Another wimpy British academic
Benji ,   US   (05.26.16)
Much better to give this money to Israeli history scholars. She can crawl back under her rock now that she humiliated herself. British academia is becoming extinct.
