I just finished the book Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom by Ariel Burger and found this interview segment on Wiesel and Palestinian Rights.
Burger quotes Wiesel as follows, which reminds me of Israeli journalists Gideon Levy and Amira Hass– “The ones who recognize the coming of evil, of oppression, are often seen as madmen. They are attuned to a reality that most people do not see, to a vision of the world without hatred, a messianic vision. They live for this vision, and they are so sensitive to whatever threatens it that, unlike others, they react immediately. They are usually the first to raise the alarm.”
