The dispute underscores Palestinian sensitivities over acknowledging Jewish suffering, which many fear could weaken their own historical grievances against Israel. Ignorance and even denial of the Holocaust is widespread in Palestinian society.
At last Wednesday’s concert in Holon, most of the Holocaust survivors did not know the youths were Palestinians from the West Bank, a rare sight in Israel these days. And the youths, who range in age from 11 to 18, had no idea they were performing for people who lived through Nazi genocide — or even what the Holocaust was.
Hindi said that conductor Wafa Younis, an Israeli Arab living in Israel, has been banned from the camp, and the apartment where she taught the 13-member Strings of Freedom orchestra has been boarded up.
“She exploited the children,” said Hindi, the head of the camp’s “popular committee,” which takes on municipal duties. “She will be forbidden from doing any activities … We have to protect our children and our community.”
“The Holocaust happened, but we are facing a similar massacre by the Jews themselves,” Hindi said. “We lost our land, and we were forced to flee and we’ve lived in refugee camps for the past 50 years.”
Younis, the conductor, denied the issue was political, saying camp officials wanted to take over the orchestra to get its funding.
“They want to destroy this group. It’s a shame, it’s a tragedy. What did these poor, elderly people do wrong? What did these children do wrong?” she said.March 30, 2006: Doha, Qatar.

The car with the bomb was parked near a bus terminal between a hospital and a busy market.
Iraqi officials say four children and four women were among those killed in the blast, which happened on Thursday afternoon.
No-one has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.“I tried to escape and the fire was everywhere,” Umm Hatam, 45, who had been heading home from the market with her shopping when the bomb went off, told the AFP news agency. “I saw the dead bodies of women and children, and about 10 small buses were burnt.”
Police think it was a deliberate attempt to slaughter civilians at random, probably by al-Qaeda in Iraq, as a way of sending a message that “we are still here”
Rapist Jawid Armani was caught soon after the attack on the 16-year-old girl as she was walking home at 1.30am in the morning on March 14.
Armani, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty through an interpreter to two charges of raping the Kenilworth girl.
Prosecutor Iain Willis said the attack took place in a dark alleyway in Kenilworth as the girl was walking home at 1.30am after a night out with friends.
She was attacked from behind by Armani who forced her to perform an act of oral sex on him, which is also classed as rape, before he proceeded to rape her.
Afterwards the girl fled from the alleyway and raised the alarm with someone who lived nearby.
The traumatised girl described her attacker and Armani was found and arrested a short time later.
Armani said he had travelled to the UK in a lorry and had only been in the country for 48 hours when he got out in Kenilworth.
He claimed he could not remember what had happened because he was very drunk at the time.

Today’s Islamic Trivia Special
Let’s be Frank in Europe – On illegal immigration from Libya
Illegal immigration will not go away by talking about it – we need to tackle illegal immigration with increased vigour.
Why is this happening?
Most of these illegal immigrants arrive by sea from Libya. Illegal immigration on this scale is happening because Gaddafi is not stopping it. He has actually been urging Africans to emigrate to Europe illegally.
To understand why this illegal immigration has reached Biblical proportions you need to understand Gaddafi’s reasoning.
Gaddafi’s mindset is that Europe is in debt with Africa because of Europe’s colonial past.
Gaddafi has said “Our natural resources were robbed. Either you give us back our resources or you invite us in your countries.”
Gaddafi is on record, on different occasions, to have stated:
1. “We are protesting so we must go to Europe in search of work.”
2. “We must force them (the Europeans) to pay compensation.”
3. “We have the right to go to Europe because we go after our wealth; we refer to gold, diamonds, iron and copper. They left us empty. We go after our stolen wealth.”

Demetra Stylianopoulou, her daughter Maria Stylian Klug, and her infant granddaughter Demetra, were among those who were murdered by these good Muslims – falling to their death.The Islamic group, Ezzedine Kassam, claimed responsibility. So did the Arab Revolutionary Cells – an Abu Nidal subsidiary.
In their release they said the bombing was in retaliation for the previous week’s U.S. military confrontation with Libya in the Gulf of Sidra. The timing and admission serve to confirm that Abu Nidal did the dastardly deed on behalf of Libya, his primary benefactor.
The U.S. State Department promoted the idea that the bombing had been the work of May Elias Mansur, a Palestinian woman who was a member of the Abu Nidal’s Syrian National Social Party, and PLO Colonel Hawari, both with close ties to Yasser Arafat.
Muhammad Rashid was arrested in Greece but only served four years in prison for murdering a child and multiple others.
May Mansour was registered in the seat under which the bomb was placed during the Cairo-Athens portion of the flight.
