It all began when the Israeli ambassador to Sweden came across an installation at the National Historical Museum in Stockholm which features a pristine photograph of a recent Palestinian suicide bomber floating freely in a partially frozen sea of blood. Interpreting the work as an endorsement of anti-Israeli terrorism, the ambassador demanded its removal, and then hurled a nearby spotlight into the pool. Shortly thereafter, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called the ambassador to congratulate him, and Jerusalem’s leading newspaper editorialized that the ambassador’s vandalism was a greater work of art than the original. The museum director is incensed, and believes the act was premeditated, in response to the director’s criticisms of Israeli policy.
