He should be kicked out of the country not just the museum - Update
This is just too much. On Friday the Israeli ambassador to Stockholm was ejected from a museum for vandalising the exhibit. He was expelled from Stockholm's Museum of Antiquities on Friday after he threw a spotlight at the exhibit.
This was after Israel had called on the Swedish Government to dismantle an art exhibit (created by an Israeli artist) featuring a Palestinian suicide bomber, which it said is an incitement to kill.
"Israel's ambassador Zvi Mazel said the work, which has a boat floating in a pool of red liquid, was "a call for genocide". But its Israeli-born creator (who himself opposes suicide bombing) rejected the charge, saying the work had a message of openness and conciliation." He also added "Mr Mazel had tried to "stop free speech and free artistic expression".
The director of the museum, Kristian Berg, said the installation would remain in place. "You can have your own view of what this piece of art is all about, but it is never, never allowed to use violence and it is never allowed to try to silence the artist," he said.
Who the hell do these idiots think they are? If this guy could act so undemocratically in a country such as Sweden, imagine how he would react if this exhibition was taking place where Israeli bullets could reach. Perhaps that is why vast majority of the Europeans consider Israel the biggest threat to the security of the world. After all, this idiot, Mr. Mazel, is an official representative of Israeli government.
Update:
Israeli PM Sahron reacted to the incident by praisesing his 'art vandal' envoy . He congratulated an ambassador who vandalised an art exhibit in Sweden.
