-Caveat Lector- washingtonpost.com Conductor Protests At Israeli Ceremony
Associated Press Monday, May 10, 2004; Page A14 JERUSALEM, May 9 -- Controversial conductor Daniel Barenboim angered Israeli officials Sunday when he criticized the country's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza as he accepted a prestigious Israeli award. In his acceptance speech for the Wolf Prize at Israel's parliament, Barenboim said Israel's policy toward the Palestinians contradicted the humanist values on which the state was founded in 1948. "Can a situation of occupation and control of another people be reconciled with [Israel's] declaration of independence?" he said. Barenboim, who was born in Argentina and raised in Israel, is music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and general music director of the Berlin Staatskapelle orchestra. © 2004 The Washington Post Company www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
