Controversial Israel Prize winner to donate grant money to human rights NGOs

Computer science professor Oded Goldreich, opposed by right-wing lawmakers for his stance against West Bank university, says he will donate to Breaking the Silence, other groups

Professor Oded Goldreich, a recent recipient of the Israel Prize in mathematics, announced Wednesday that he will donate his NIS 75,000 ($23,350) in prize money to five human rights organizations, including the far-left groups Breaking the Silence and B’Tselem.

Goldreich, a professor of computer science at Israel’s Weizmann Institute, received the Israel Prize at the offices of the Education Ministry Monday, despite opposition from some government ministers and following a nearly year-long political saga over his alleged support for anti-Israel boycotts.

The five groups that will receive the prize money are Breaking the Silence, Standing Together, Kav LaOved, B’Tselem, and Adalah.
