Yoko Ono has awarded two peace grants to journalist Seymour Hersh and Israeli nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu, men she said epitomize her late husband John Lennon’s song “Gimme Some Truth.”Hersh and Vanunu will each receive a $50,000 LennonOno Grant for Peace, according to a statement released Thursday by Ono’s publicist, Elliot Mintz.Ono said the 2004 honorees were “people who have spoken out for the benefit of the human race by overcoming extreme personal difficulties and, in doing so, have allowed the truth to prevail.”
And the truth here is that there are many people in the world who would love to see the State of Israel disappear off the face of the earth.
