German Prohibition: Nobel Prize-winner Gunter Grass has been declared persona non grata by Israel

A prominent German writer and Nobel Prize-winner Gunter Grass has been declared persona non grata by Israel following harsh criticism for his new poem published last week.

Joining us now from Tel Aviv to discuss the scandal is Gideon Levy - who's a columnist for Israeli newspaper Haaretz. "Israel won't nuke Iran on the first attack." Source
