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.
