| Let me tell you about a little experience I had not too long ago. Before entering the Opera House I decided to visit the Tel-Aviv Museum of Arts. Going down to the first floor we found ourselves in an exhibition by David Wakstein called "Explosion". While I don`t regard myself qualified to judge the artistic quality of the paintings, I would like to give you a few examples of the works of art: A map of the world and on it hands engraved with a Star of David and blood dripping from them. A Star of David combined with a Swastika. Two red canvasses,on one of them two small circles with the Star of David, on the other a small circle with a Swastika. I happen to remember that this masterpiece is called "settlers". As the above-mentioned examples show, the artist seems to be deeply influenced by the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, The Nazi newspaper Der Sturmer and the internet sites of the Hamas. This raises the following question: since the Palestinian Authority has, as required by the Road Map, promised to reduce hate incitement, should we not ask the same of the municipal Art Museum of Tel-Aviv? Isn`t there a double standard if we criticize and protest against the BBC for showing their movie on Israel`s nuclear program, the Egyptian TV for broadcasting the artistic movie Rider without a Horse or the PA for publishing in its newspapers artistic cartoons showing Sharon eating small children for breakfast, and at the same time exhibit similar material at Tel-Aviv Museum? |
