Anyone who has had the good fortune to have met Tanya Reinhart will be shocked to learn of her sudden death in New York last Friday. She was quite a remarkable woman with a moral compass few can ematch let alone emulate. Her many books testify to her scholarship.
Haaretz reports of her death as follows:
"Linguist and left-wing activist Professor Tanya Reinhardt died in New York on Saturday at age 63.
Reinhardt, one of the most outspoken representatives of the radical Israeli left, was a fierce critic of the 1993 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, saying they represented a perpetuation of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. She was also a proponent of an academic boycott of Israeli universities to protest the occupation.
Reinhardt espoused the principle of non-violent resistance, and was among the leaders of the left-wing activists who called for boycotts of the 1996 and 2001 elections.
She was active in recent years in Israeli-Palestinian efforts against the West Bank separation fence and the seizure of land from Palestinians for its construction."
As Women for Palestine [Melbourne] have said, "Palestine has lost a read friend and the world has lost a truly decent human being".
