(JTA) — Award-winning Jewish playwright Tony Kushner accused Toronto’s Jewish federation of “McCarthyism” for disassociating itself from his appearance under the auspices of a beneficiary agency.
In an interview with Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper published a day before his May 9 speech for the Koffler Centre for the Arts, Kushner — best known for the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Angels in America” and the screenplay for Steven Spielberg’s “Munich” — said he was “disgusted” by the UJA Federation of Toronto’s action, describing it as a “smear campaign.”
The federation in March said it was pulling back from Kushner’s appearance because he is on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), a group that promotes Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel.
