		Mikis does not need anyone to jump at his defense; his life achievements are the best answer to his critics, if presented as facts.
		Theodorakis' remarks seem to be in regard to the question of why out of two peoples without kin countries in the world, Israel is more successful in protecting its interests than Greece.

	Mikis Theodorakis
		Theodorakis' requiem is based on the lyrics of John of Damascus for mezzo, soprano, basso, tenoro, choir, children's choir and symphony orchestra.
		Insofar as Theodorakis has always sought to express a profound humanitarianism, whether philosophical or political, through his music, it makes perfect sense that he would at some point (1984, as a matter of fact) turn his attention to the liturgy surrounding the ultimate philosophical and political solution, death.
		Orthodox church modes and polyphony are very much in evidence; in other respects the music is typical of the composer: big, richly scored romantic textures and tonal harmony, with emphasis on directness of emotional appeal and no concern for sounding fashionably "modern" whatsoever.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Music \| Musician clarifies Jewish remark
		Composer Mikis Theodorakis has said he was condemning Israel's Government by saying Jews are "the root of all evil".
		Mr Theodorakis said Greeks and Jews "are two peoples without kin, but they had fanaticism and self-knowledge and managed to prevail".

	Theodorakis and the Jews
		He said in an interview last year that the Jewish people are "at the root of evil." (The evil itself, he says, is President Bush.) When Jews attacked him for this statement, he was shocked at their vehemence, yet he still insists, in a long interview in Ha'aretz, that he was correct.
		Theodorakis is evidently one of those who thinks that the statement, "The Jews are at the root of evil," is not anti-Semitism, but mere criticism.
		And if people call you an anti-Semite for making such criticism, that only proves the underlying point--the profound, illuminating, life-changing epiphany--that anti-Semitism is a myth invented by the Jews to control the human race by preventing anyone from merely criticizing the Jews for being at the root of evil and controlling the human race.

		Yet statements made by celebrities on the scale of Theodorakis matter, because they come from people who pretend to care about the world, and who are widely respected in opinion-making circles.
		To say, as Theodorakis has, that he is attacking the Jews because he has "always sided with the weak," is a good reflection of current European thinking, which effectively holds that almost any application of power is a sin and that powerlessness is a virtue.
		What Theodorakis and his fellow travelers — who once made careers of confronting European and South American dictators — have yet to concede, let alone do something about, is the flourishing of despotism in the Middle East.
