The Ministry of Education and Culture will issue no desist order to the IPO, Deputy Education Minister Pinhas Goldstein informed Knesset members Tuesday. The Knesset also washed its hands of the matter, saying it was up to the IPO. The members of Israel's internationally acclaimed symphony orchestra decided by majority vote last week to lift its ban on performing music by the 19th-century German composer, an avow- ed anti-Semite who became a Nazi icon. Despite the heat generated by the issue, a Knesset debate on the subject was sparsely attended. But emo- tions ran high among the 15 members present, whose opinions crossed party lines. Avrum Burg of the Labor Party, Elyakim Haetzni of Tehiya and Reuven Rivlin. of Likud spoke out against the public performance of Wagner. Mordechai Vir- shubski of the Citizens Rights Movement, a Ger- man-born refugee from Nazi persecution, argued in its favor. Mr. Rivlin said the deci- sion to boycott Wagner in Israel since the state was founded was "symbolic of national values." "There never has been and never will be a statute of limitations," he said. Mr. Virshubski observed that while Israelis do not boycott Volkswagen and Mercedes cars, both "pungent symbols of the Nazi regime," they are will- ing to boycott Wagner be- cause it requires no material sacrifice. Mr. Goldstein explained that the Education Ministry does not interfere in the decisions of artistic and cultural institutions. He noted that the IPO has a public committee with the right to advise members how to conduct themselves. The Wagner concert will be performed under the baton of Daniel Barenboim, an Israeli pianist and con- ductor who is an authority on Wagner. It is outside the subscription series so that regular concertgoers will not feel Wagner's music is being forced on them.
