PA dismantles W. Bank youth orchestra -Khaled Abu Toameh
[The] Palestinian Authorit[y] disbanded a youth orchestra from [the] West Bank after it played for a group of Holocaust survivors in Israel.
Adnan Hindi of Jenin called the Holocaust a "political issue" and accused conductor Wafa Younis of dragging the children into a political dispute.
He added that Younis has been barred from the camp and the apartment where she taught the 13-member Strings of Freedom orchestra has been boarded up.
The 13 Palestinian musicians, aged 11 to 18, are members of the Palestinian orchestra Strings of Freedom [pictured above] that is based in the refugee camp. The concert was held at the Holocaust Survivors' Center as part of "Good Deeds Day."
