Israeli Historian Injured by Pipebomb

Zeev Sternhell, an Israeli political scientist and one of the world's leading historians of fascism, was slightly wounded by a pipe bomb at the door to his house earlier today in Jerusalem. Police suspect that he was targeted for his outspoken criticism of West Bank settlements. Here are reports in the Independent and the LA Times. Isabel Kershner's"Radical Settlers Take on Israel," NYT, 25 September, puts the story in a broader context. Hat tip.
