• Ali_Salem abstract "Ali Salem, also transliterated Ali Salim, (Arabic: على سالم‎, IPA: [ˈʕæli ˈsæːlem]) (born 1936) is an Egyptian playwright, author, and political commentator known for his support of peace with Israel. The Los Angeles Times once described him as "a big, loud man known for his satiric wit".Since the premiere of his first play in 1965, he has written 25 plays and 15 books. One of the best known, The School of Troublemakers, debuted in 1971 and featured a rowdy class of children transformed by a kind teacher. His plays The Phantom of Heliopolis, The Comedy of Oedipus, The Man Who Fooled the Angels, and The Buffet have also become "classics of the Egyptian theater". Salem's plays often include allegorical critiques of Egyptian politics with a strong vein of humor and satire.In 1994, he wrote a book entitled My Drive to Israel about a trip he took the country to satisfy his curiosity about it following the signing of the Oslo Accords. He later described the trip as not "a love trip, but a serious attempt to get rid of hate. Hatred prevents us from knowing reality as it is". He spent 23 nights in Israel and concluded that "real co-operation" between the two nations should be possible. Though the book sold more than 60,000 copies, a bestseller by Egyptian standards, its pro-peace sentiments were controversial, and Salem was subsequently ostracized from the Egyptian intellectual community and expelled from its Writer's Syndicate. He has not had a play or movie script produced in Egypt since the book's publication, though he continues to contribute columns to foreign media such as the London-based Al Hayat. Salem's memoir was later adapted by Ari Roth into the play Ali Salem Drives to Israel, which had its world premiere in the US in 2005.In 2008, he won the Train Foundation's $50,000 Civil Courage Prize in recognition of his opposition to radical Islam and his support of peace with Israel. He also won an honorary doctorate from Israel's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in 2005.".
