Far-right settlers are suspected of bombing the home of prominent Israeli academic quote: An Israeli academic injured in a pipe bombing two weeks ago has told the BBC he fears a "climate of violence" may be threatening democracy in the country.Zeev Sternhell, a well-known critic of Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, said he suspected far right-wing Israelis were to blame. ... "Democracy cannot survive in a climate in which organised groups that are speaking in the name of Jewish history, of God, or of the future of Israeli society are allowed do everything - where everything is legal, everything is legitimate because these acts are in the service of a superior goal," said Mr Sternhell. ... Mr Sternhell said he had received no personal threats in the weeks before the attack. But he said poster had been found in his neighbourhood offering a reward of $320,000 to anyone who killed a member of Peace Now, an Israeli group campaigning against settlement building to which he belongs. ... Mr Sternhell, a Holocaust survivor, is best known for his work on the history of fascism. Earlier this year, he was awarded the prestigious Israel Prize for political science.
