| Israel declares Gunter Grass persona non grata |
| 2012-04-09 |
| JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Israel's Interior Minister Eli Yishai has declared German Nobel prize-winning poet Gunter Grass a persona non grata in Israel. Yishai said in a statement that Grass' poem titled "What Must Be Said," published in Germany's Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper and other international papers, was his "attempt to inflame hatred against the State of Israel and people of Israel, and thus to advance the idea to which he was publicly affiliated in his past donning of the SS uniform." |

| #4 Actually I would have preferred Israel to ignore that drivel. Banning Grass gives him an importance he shouldn't have. |
