| The Prize Announcement, and an Interview (in Hebrew) with the Recipients Interview: http://www.allforpeace.org/readarticle.aspx?articleid=6857&lang=3 Prof. Yeshayahu Leibowitz - If he were alive, what would he say about operation "Cast Lead", and the ensuing Goldstone report? Following the Qibya raid in 1953, in which the number of innocent civilians slain was not even a tenth of the number of innocent civilians slain in Gaza ! - Leibowitz shouted out the compelling question: "Where did we get such youths, who sense no moral impediment to committing the atrocity, when given an internal or external impetus to retaliate?" Leibowitz is no longer with us, and we cannot determine his reaction to recent events. But in these dark times, we, those who cherish his memory, will commemorate his legacy by awarding the Leibowitz Prize, for public activism in the spirit of his political and philosophical teaching. The prize committe (Dr. Yossi Dahan, Dr. Ilana Hammerman, Dr. Yehuda Meltzer, Prof. Zeev Sternhell, Mr. Mordechai Zeldon) has awarded the prize to : Alice Shalvi (educator,recipient of the Israel prize) Rabbi Arik Ascherman (Director of Rabbis for Human Rights).
