where it says " Ambassadören attackerar och förklarar sig

When asked about the occupation, the Ambassador replied "there is no
occupation", which was not carried in any of the articles I've seen
yet.

Israel's Sweden ambassador wrecks Palestinian art

"According to museum director Kristian Berg, the

[Israeli] ambassador went berserk in front of the

400 specially-invited guests when he saw the piece."



-AFP, January 17, 2004

I wonder if the Israeli ambassador would've preferred to see an art display 
depicting an Israeli bulldozer demolishing one of the more than 5000 
innocent Palestinian homes, or maybe an Israeli tank firing a 50 mm round 
in the forehead of a 4-year-old Palestinian boy, or an F-16 fighter jet 
dropping a one-ton dirty bomb on a Gaza City apartment house killing 16 
innocent Palestinians including 9 children?   All of these attacks happened 
not that long ago.  I'll bet this image with the title "Fighting Terrorism" 
would be an art display the Israeli envoy would really enjoy.   You see, 
according these Zionists, it's only terror when Jews are terrorized.

Israel's Sweden ambassador wrecks Palestinian art


STOCKHOLM, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Israel's ambassador to Sweden destroyed an 
artwork depicting a Palestinian suicide bomber in a Stockholm museum on 
Friday, Swedish radio reported on Saturday.

The art installation, entitled "Snow White and the Madness of Truth," 
consisted of a rectangular basin filled with red water on which floated a 
boat carrying a portrait of Hanadi Jaradat, who killed herself and 19 
others in an attack in the Israeli port city of Haifa in October.

Ambassador Zvi Mazel was among the guests at the opening of the Historical 
Museum's exhibition linked to an international anti-genocide conference to 
be held in Stockholm from January 26 to 28.

Public service SR radio news said Mazel furiously ripped out electrical 
wires attached to the art work and threw a spotlight in the basin.

"This was not a piece of art," Mazel told SR. "It was a monstrosity. An 
obscene distortion of reality."

Kristian Berg, the museum's director, said he realised the installation may 
have been emotional for Mazel, but that destroying art was unacceptable.

"If you don't like what you see, you can leave the premises," he told SR.
