Israeli envoy vandalizes Sweden exhibit over Pals martyr

By: Mohamed Ali

STOCKHOLM, Sweden: Israeli government on Saturday has demanded that a Swedish art museum take down an exhibit depicting a Palestinian suicide bomber, a day after Israel's ambassador to Sweden Zvi Mazel spoiled the exhibit.

Israel said the exhibition violates the terms of a forthcoming conference on preventing genocide.

The Swedish government on Saturday said Mazel would be asked to explain his behavior that was revealed during the exhibit at the Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm, Sweden.

Mazel was ousted from the museum after he destroyed an artwork 'Snow White and the Madness of Truth' of an Israeli born artist Dror Feiler, featuring a pool filled with red water, designed to look like blood and a sailboat with the name Snow White floating on the water with a photo of a smiling Islamic Jihad bomber Hanadi Jaradat.

Jaradat kissed martyrdom killing 21 Israeli bystanders in Haifa, Israel in October of last year.
