Youth and Education.
Having a mother with Jewish
and journalist Peter Scholl-Latour clashed with Israeli public relations manager Melody Sucharewicz in a heated discussion. The point of contention was the Israeli Gaza War, which had just been ignited. Scholl-Latour felt, literally, "trapped" and wrongly pushed into an anti-Israeli corner that he would not represent. He had previously criticized Israel's Palestinian policy; Sucharewicz contradicted vigorously. The moderators di Lorenzo and Fried were later publicly sharply criticized for their passivity and their behavior toward Scholl-Latour.
