Hanadon: Uri Avneri

Journalist and peace activist Uri Avnery is a man who Israelis have loved to hate for over 50 years. The last Mohican of the radical left, Avnery has devoted his life to promoting the idea of two states for two nations, and for this he has paid a price: the head of the General Security Services proclaimed him Public Enemy number 1 and several attempts were made at his life. Despite his significant contribution to shaping the State of Israel, Avnery lives on the fringe of Israeli public opinion, and is a living example of the saying one cannot be a prophet in ones own city.
