When the Sharon government uprooted the Jewish residents of Gaza, former World Bank chief James Wolfensohn personally bought the hothouses of the evicted Jews for millions so they could be delivered intact to the Palestinians. This was intended to help underpin the Gazan Arabs economically and strengthen the presumed peace that he expected to see flourishing after Israel's surrender of the territory.
The Palestinians promptly burned the hothouses as a prelude to how peace with Gaza, and their governance of it, would look. The PA rebuilt them.
But Wolfensohn had shown the Arabs that his heart was in the right place and in recognition of this and other assistance projects, he was scheduled last Friday to deliver the keynote address at the commencement exercises at the American University of Beirut.
Wolfensohn had to change his plans once students and faculty discovered that he had business ties with Israel. These include support for the electric car company Better Place and the Ieftist Israel Democracy Institute.
More than 90 faculty members signed a petition, entitled "Not in our name: AUB faculty, staff and students object to honoring James Wolfensohn."
The university folded although the president Peter Dorman attempted to defend “Wolfensohn’s long and devoted record of work on behalf of the Arab world,” including his opposition to U.S. policies after Hamas won elections in 2006, and a 2007 award he received from the Palestinian Authority for his work to rebuild Gaza.
Dorman was roundly attacked by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, condemned for his defense of Wolfensohn, which PACBI called an attack on “his own community and the Lebanese community at large.”

Minor issue since I believe he was an investor, but the greenhouses were bought by a small group of American Jewish "investors" he put together after no profit oriented investors could be found.

England knighted a Jew? That has to mean he’s no good. Remember Lord Herbert Samuels, the willing tool of the Khairo-Khartoum cabal?
