Anti semitism Quote by Mikis Theodorakis

“I don't believe there is anti-Semitism in Europe. There is a reaction against the policy of Sharon and Bush. I think it's artificial to think there is a new anti-Semitism. It's an excuse. It's a way to avoid self-criticism.” quote by Mikis Theodorakis — Download Open image
