Israeli authors David Grossman and Tom Segev have been named finalists for the prestigious 2010 National Book Critics Circle awards scheduled to take place on March 10. Grossman's "To the End of the Land," translated into English by Jessica Cohen, was one of five fiction finalists and one of two translated works in the fiction category, the Book Critics Circle announced earlier this month.
Grossman's latest book, about an Israeli mother who hikes in the Galilee rather than wait at home to hear potentially bad news about the fate of her soldier son.
Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, who died in September of 2005, is the subject of one of the five finalists in the biography category - a book by Tom Segev, a historian and Haaretz columnist, entitled "Simon Wiesenthal: The Lives And Legends" and translated by Ronnie Hope.

ACT NOW for ISRAEL: Flush ‘LUSH’ Cosmetics!
email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
LUSH Cosmetics has quietly closed its Beverly Hills, California location several months after a group known as “Join the Boycott LA” (www.JTBLA.com) organized a protest outside the store to expose the company’s support of PLO extremism. LUSH, with headquarters in the UK and stores in over 40 countries around the world, is using its customers’ money to support the PLO’s extremist “One World Campaign”. This virulently anti-Israel organization portrays Israel as an “illegal” occupier committing crimes against “Palestine” and grossly exaggerates the suffering in Gaza, placing responsibility solely on the Israelis.
There is much more work to be done. We urge you to ACT NOW FOR ISRAEL by sending an email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
It has come to our attention that LUSH, a leading luxury handmade cosmetics company, gives a percentage of its profits to an anti-Israel organization called “OneWorld”. Upon visiting the OneWorld website (http://freedomoneworld.org/), it is very clear that they are supported by extreme anti-Israel groups that are sympathetic to terrorist activity against the State of Israel. For example, one of the supporting groups is called “Friends of al-Aqsa”. Visiting their website speaks for itself: http://www.foa.org.uk/.
