An outfit calling itself the Creative Zionist Coalition has announced that it is awarding Pamela Geller with the “Queen Esther Award for Jewish Heroism” and Robert Spencer with the “Shushan Award for Righteous Gentile”.

Loonwatch reports on the background of the CZC’s founders, Jessica Felber and Orit Arfa, and their links to the Zionist Organization of America.

The CZC’s stated aim is to “vigorously support and defend Israel without apology, taking principled positions based on reason, logic, ethics and history”. Quite what Geller and Spencer have to do with reason, logic and ethics, or indeed with any honest approach to history, is unclear.
