I will keep looking for an English version of the speech. It shows that he is critical, which is good. And from that article obviously he's upset some pro-Israel people - also good :-D Please visit again. Your comments are much appreciated. Thanks very much Yuka for the article.

For example, http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96CCF7G0&show_article=1 Unfortunately, all of them are very simple and mention only abstract　"egg and wall" story. :-( I've read the Japanese translation of the speech. It says that Haruki mentioned tanks, rockets　bombs, white phosphorus bombs, and so on. I guess that the Western news media may not want to write the detail for Israel....

People boycott regimes like this, except people don't want to do it to Israel as if they're not as extreme - probably because people think the US backing them gives them so legitimacy...

Murakami should not accept the award, at least not from this Likudist right-wing goverment. Time to treat the Israeli goverment the way the Apartheid goverment in SA was treated, with boycotts, protests and utter and complete contempt. Well said.
