I saw him about a year ago at a local unitarian church, debating with a 
Palestinian representative. Lerner actually said that the Jews moving into 
Palestine was like blacks moving into the white parts of a city. He really, 
really, really said that.

There's also no question that the guy is literally putting his life on the 
line through his public opposition to the current Israeli regime.

So, although personally he's somewhat repulsive, he is showing some guts.
