Barenboim is the perfect example about how to destroy the Jewish people! He believes that the Torah is just humanism, and he sides with the enemies of Israel. He should be asked to give back his Israeli passport!

Barenboim does not think much of music - at least not to recognize that it can have significant impact on people - brining with it a range of emotions, memories, etc, etc (even companies such an Intel with their 'Intel tune' with each commercial have better understanding then him. How else can you explain his apparent lack understanding of people who survived hell in Europe with Wagner played in the Camp, supported by the Nazi machinery ,etc - aside from the fact that Wagner was Anti-semitic - the issue is that the music is bound to bring back horrific experience to Holocaust survivors , however, the 'great peace maker' is not sensitive to the effect the music may have on them - he is single minded in his agenda.

Yes, A great article. Baremboim is a shamfull warmonger. Why does not he support both sides for peace? Because, he doesn't want peace! simple. he wants our childreen been target by kornet missiles inside Israel Borders. he wants to continue the kidnapping of schalit. Every Israel enemy will have his support "for peace". is he suppose to performi to the people of Syria? Guess not.

revoke his citizenship

It would probably take a competent psychiatrist to determine why Jews like Barenboim continue to cling to such totally self-destructive ideologies. However, what I will say is that Zubin Mehta has more integrity in his little finger...than Daniel Barenboim has in his whole body.

Berenbaum, like Richard Wagner, is a 'relique' Boche from WWII.

Talented he certainly is. However, what a terrible person he is to show solidarity in Gaza that is run by savage terrorists. Another left wing loonie, and he should be persona none grata in Israel. You are not welcome Berenboim, and the few cds I have of you, are going into the garbage.

"Sderot, the most bombed city in the world"? Are you sure? Did you count the number of bombs falling on Sderot as compared with the number of those falling elsewhere, or the weight of explosives? How did you get this result? Sderot has suffered quite lot, its inhabitants deserve full sympathy and a quiet, peaceful life. In the competition for "the most bombed city in the world" some cities stand much higher, for example Gaza - st least as measured in the number of civilian casualties and of dead and wounded children. Not that we need to conduct such grisly competitions - much better to try to find a way that nobody need suffer bombings any more. In this I think Barenboim has something to offer.

he should be ostrasized from our society. Knowing the enlightened& cultured citizens (mostly of Left-wing persuasion)I doubt very much this will happen. The man is an abomination of the a decent, human being, period. Don't you dare to attend his concerts!!

If this is the best the darling of the Roman Catholic right in Italy can come up with, this hysterical delusional rant, then it wasn't worth publishing it and definitely not worth Yediot paying for it. Indeed why did Yediot use it all? It brings shame to Yediot's good name. Barenboim believes in peace between Palestinians and Israelis which is clearly something this neo-fascist writer cannot abide.

He is another Jew hating Jews and Israel and Israeli musicians should refuse to associate with him of play in orchestras conducted by him. Barenboim is a great musician but a failure to his own people and seems to forget how many great Jews were sent to the gas chambers by the Nazis whose allies were the Arabs and whose policies Hamas wants to continue.

that everyone talks about when Ehud Barak sends in policemen on horseback with batons to beat up 15 year old girls. ---- he broke the LAW by entering Gaza. Oh, I'm sorry - "Rule of Law" is a privilege only reserved for "settlers." The LEFT is above the law (AGAIN). Why? Because all of the self-appointed judges are MERETZ and they just re-appoint themselves regardless of Israel' democratic vote

The fact that he, or any one else who has achieved fame in one field or another can be relied upon to understand the brainwashing of the new liberal camp derides the notion of creative intelligence. Barenboim's music not withstanding may be even great, but his political views align him with the great anti Semites of past history. A person can be a genius in one field and an total boor in another. May he regain his senses and shut his mouth.

he is a traitor

This article tells the truth about the moral hypocrisy of Barenboim. He has consistently condemned Israel and shown no sympathy whatsoever for the victims of Palestinian Arab terror. Music is one thing and Morality another in the case of Barenboim.

A jew like Barenboim deserves the derision he should undoubtedly receive. How about the fact that he is treasonous against the state of Israel, supporting known terrorists with his concerts? I don't understand why Israel tolerates these people, along with the Arab MK's, who go to Gaza and provide comfort to the enemy.

absolutely spot on article...... Barenboim is either just another misguided useful idiot or a Capo........... either way .. he is a shameful disgrace doing more harm than good to his fellow jews

Like all premadonnas, who specialise 24 hours a day ,every day to get to the "pedestal" where they are , I doubt if he had the time to read the newspapers. What news paper does he read (if any.) he can only read music. His classical music is shunned in the arab world. .where it is certainly not classical.

... that Signore Meotti was very successful in transferring from Italy to Israel his Berlusconi style techniques of defamation and demonisation of public figures who dare to have different political opinions. He transfers political debate into the public execution of individual celebrities. The talkbackers cries like renouncing Barenboim's citizenship show that his hate-mongering falls on fertile ground. Congratulations!

As I've put it in another Talkback, as an argentinian citizen, and of Jewish faith too, I'm ashamed by the behaviour of this useful idiot, (Idiota útil) and traitor. He is betraying his fellows argentinian jewish citizens, and also betraying his fellows israeli citizens, and the State of Israel too . I remember clearly that, in the days following the bloody bombing of the Jewish NGO AMIA, by the merciless Islamo-Terrorism, here in Buenos Aires, where there were almost two hundred of innocent civilian people murdered and maimed, this scum, Daniel Barenboim, HAD NEITHER condenm that heinous Crime Against Humanity, NOR given a word of sympathy to comfort his fellow Argentinians (Christians and Jews) that were mourning their dead relatives and friends in this horrible attack He deserves that his israeli citizenship be revoked, and declared "Persona Non Grata" in Israel, as son as possible.

it isa time to stop such people of using our democracy to attack the jewish country under the cover of loving Hamas they hate Israel more than loving the Palestinians Hitler look at all these are Jews

The best you can do is attack the writer? Sorry the truth hurts so much. Barenboim is just another example of the Ashkenazi Tzafonim mentality--ghetto Jews making nice to people who want to kill you. Idiots.

It's been clear for years that Barenboim does not care about Jewish lives. Suicide bombs on buses and rocket attacks against Sderot are of no interest to him. His only concern is to be hailed as a hero to the anti-Israel audiences in the salons of Europe. Since Barenboim has no problem with boycotts of Israeli artists he should enjoy a taste of his own medicine. Nobody should attend his performances or buy any of his recorodings. There are plenty of alternatives to him and most offer a superior product.

utter ignorance of Middle East realities.

I Don't love Giulio Meotti, he is a very hateful person.

In his way - the way of music and culture - Daniel Barenboim is trying to make bridges between Palestinians and Israelis and between the Western and Arab world. For that I am grateful and I have nothing but respect for him. Shame on those Talkbackers here who are insulting a profoundly decent human being!
