I like Roald Dahl's books but he has been recorded as being an anti-semite. QUOTE But Dahl was also an antisemite. In an interview with the New Statesman in 1983, he said: “There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere.”
He added: “Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.” https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/dec/...is-antisemitism |
