Today, for a moment there were 2 Jews in Gaza. One
kidnapped 5 years ago, captured in Israeli territory while serving as a soldier in his army service. Your name, Gilad Shalit, 19 years old when he was kidnapped.
The other, offered a concert today in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Your name, Daniel Barenboim.
The event was held at the Cultural Center in Gaza Al Mathaf capital and among parts of eighteenth-century classical music, the conductor interrupted the musical program to address the four people who crowded the room.
Barenboim expressed ideas as
"We come as messengers of the UN not only to make music, but also because we believe that the people of Gaza have the right to sit and listen to music of the eighteenth century in the year 2011" Thedirector also noted that:
"the Palestinian cause is a just cause can not be solved with violence, but only with justice." "Nobody in the world should live under occupation," Barenboimdared not refer to the injustice suffered by Gilad on the same territory where he became, briefly, his only brother, who has never been visited by any international organization to verify their status.
In Israel, a few years ago, Barenboim offered music of the famous anti-Semitic Wagner, asking before interpretation, that those who agreed not to hear, some of them Holocaust survivors, to pull out of the room.
How much honesty it would have shown Barenboim today if he had said something like:
"The next piece is to convey my solidarity with Gilad and request her release, nobody in the world deserves to live kidnapped , who do not agree, please withdraw from the room. "
But unfortunately it did not. Too bad.
Greetings, Waldo
