Friedmann slams attack on Professor Sternhell

Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann on Thursday condemned the attack on Israel Prize laureate Prof. Ze'ev Sternhell, who was lightly wounded after a pipe bomb exploded at the entrance to his Jerusalem home the previous night. Friedmann warned that "a politically motivated attack could undermine Israeli democracy and reopen wounds that have still not healed and may never heal. This phenomenon must be uprooted."
