Provocative art by a self-loathing jew, no doubt, but I must admit that my interpretation of the piece was quite different than that of the Ambassador. The way he saw it though, I understand his reaction.

Museum director Kristian Berg suggested that Mazel endangered those in the museum. "He pulled out the plugs and threw one of the spotlights into the fountain, which caused the entire installation to short-circuit and made it totally life-threatening." Ironic. More concerned about the "life-threatening" risk to the people in the museum than about giving tacit approval of the life-taking actions of those murderous suicide bombers. But the suicide bombers don't endanger Swedes, only Jews, so that must explain it.

Reading the reaction of the Swedish authorities, one would think that the Israeli-Palestine conflict was occurring on another planet. They seem "removed" from the situation, as if it has no meaning for them. Like it was a video game -- and the flesh and blood wasn't real, but "virtual", instead.
Perhaps it wasn't the particular exhibit itself that caused the Israeli ambassador to go berserk, but this environment of "cool objectivity bordering on indifference" that surrounded it.
I'm inclined to understand (and appreciate) Mazel's violent reaction.

as a political activist, Feiler is president of Jews for Israeli Palestinian Peace, which initiated a campaign entitled "Jewish Manifesto: Sharon is Israel's Worst Enemy." Feiler describes himself as the "eye-bleeding ultimate composer of intifadic and eruptive lung-outs."I see he is one Israeli that has chosen not to live in Israel. Its easy to adopt an attitude of "peace at any price" while living in safety; its quite another to be confronted every day by a large, hostile population living in one's midst that only wants one thing: every Jew to be dead. These appeasment artists are insane.

Way to go Ambassador! Finally performance art I can enjoy too.

"We will ask him to explain and from our side we will maintain that it is unacceptable to destroy works of art in this way," Larsson said.Art? This isn't art, it's the celebration of barbarity. What has happened to the Swedes that they can't recognize that?

If you go back a few centuries, Sweden was a real nation with a military and a manly foreign policy and everything. Then the socialists became irretrievably entrenched and turned Sweden into a paradise for leftist airheads, suc as the "artists" who created such a monstrosity.
Fortunately Israel, in Ambassador Zvi Mazel, is demonstrating that it intends to defend and retain its sovereignty and to protect the lives of its citizens and that the farm system for future prime ministers is deep indeed. Congratulations, Mr. Ambassador, you are a beacon of sanity to us all, a rarity in today's world.

Good response, but as a "Monday morning quarterback" he should have placed a cherry bomb or firecracker inside a styrofoam cup full of red paint.
When it went off and ruined everyone's clothes, he could have pointed out that at least those whose clothes were ruined are still alive - but if he had been a Pali suicide bomber, anyone with red on their clothes would have been DEAD.

WAY TO GO!!! Christians and Jews everywhere should stand up against the anti-semitic nazis and palestinian butchers and show the lie of their propaganda. Never accept never back off.

Someone needs to put together a "Swedish Suicide Exhibit" since this is the only thing these people lead the world in.
