Is UNESCO serious?

Unesco has award its international music Price 2005 to Mikis Theodorakis - composer of Zorba the Greek, for his contributions to understanding between cultures.

Are they serious?

In late 2003, Theodorakis condemned Israel and said that 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".

"Today, we can say that these little people are the root of evil," he said.

His comments caused uproar in Israel and among Jews in Greece, prompting complaints from the Israeli embassy in Athens to the Greek Government.

What's next? A price to the Iranian President for his conference on a World Without Zionism?
