Edgar M. Bronfman (1929-2013): portrait dans le New York Times

Milliardaire, philanthropie et ardent défenseur des juifs, Edgard M. Bronfman est né à Montréal. Ce matin le New York Times souligne son décès.

 Je retiens ce passage:

"Mr. Bronfman shrugged off criticism from those who feared that his aggressive tactics were risking an anti-Semitic backlash. “The answer isn’t to say, ‘Don’t make trouble,’ and hide our heads in the sand,” he wrote in his 1998 memoir, “Good Spirits: The Making of a Businessman.” “We may not earn the friendship of others, but we will demand their respect.”"
