Frases Daniel Barenboim

„Con todo el dolor que surge de mi corazón no puedo más que preguntarme si la ocupación y el dominio de otro pueblo coincide con los principios del Acta de Creación de Israel. ¿Acaso hay lógica en la soberanía de un pueblo a costa de la soberanía de otro? ¿Acaso el pueblo judío, cuya historia está llena de dolor y persecuciones, puede permitirse indiferencia a los derechos y al dolor de un pueblo vecino? ¿Acaso Israel puede permitirse el sueño imposible de un final ideológico del conflicto en vez de intentar lograr un final pragmático y humanitario, basado en los principios de justicia social?. La ministra de Educación, Limor Livnat, tomó el micrófono para protestar por los dichos del músico. Luego continuó su relato: "Yo no ataqué al Estado de Israel. Sólo cité el Acta de Proclamación del Estado, haciendo después preguntas retóricas".“

Statement at the .
Contexto: Despite the fact that as an art, music cannot compromise its principles, and politics, on the other hand, is the art of compromise, when politics transcends the limits of the present existence and ascents to the higher sphere of the possible, it can be joined there by music. Music is the art of the imaginary par excellence, an art free of all limits imposed by words, an art that touches the depth of human existence, and art of sounds that crosses all borders. As such, music can take the feelings and imagination of Israelis and Palestinians to new unimaginable spheres.

„The Declaration of Independence was a source of inspiration to believe in ideals that transformed us from Jews to Israelis. … I am asking today with deep sorrow: Can we, despite all our achievements, ignore the intolerable gap between what the Declaration of Independence promised and what was fulfilled, the gap between the idea and the realities of Israel? Does the condition of occupation and domination over another people fit the Declaration of Independence? Is there any sense in the independence of one at the expense of the fundamental rights of the other? Can the Jewish people whose history is a record of continued suffering and relentless persecution, allow themselves to be indifferent to the rights and suffering of a neighboring people? Can the State of Israel allow itself an unrealistic dream of an ideological end to the conflict instead of pursuing a pragmatic, humanitarian one based on social justice. I believe that despite all the objective and subjective difficulties, the future of Israel and its position in the family of enlightened nations will depend on our ability to realize the promise of the founding fathers as they canonized it in the Declaration of Independence. I have always believed that there is no military solution to the Jewish Arab conflict, neither from a moral nor a strategic one and since a solution is therefore inevitable I ask myself, why wait?“

„. It therefore is a very clear form of apartheid. I don’t think the Jewish people survived for 20 centuries, mostly through persecution and enduring endless cruelties, in order to now become the oppressors, inflicting cruelty on others. This new law does exactly that. That is why I am ashamed of being an Israeli today.“

SPIEGEL Interview with Daniel Barenboim

„I have the greatest respect for the survivors of the Holocaust. We can't even imagine what these people went through. And yet even they have differing positions … I respect that there are survivors who can't, and certainly don't want to, listen to this music. But I don't accept that the fact that an orchestra playing Wagner in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem would do any harm to someone sitting in an apartment in Haifa.“

SPIEGEL Interview with Daniel Barenboim

„Wagner exploited all forms of expression at a composer's disposal -- harmony, dynamics, orchestration -- to the extreme. His music is highly emotional, and at the same time Wagner has extraordinary control over the effect he achieves. That's why there is also something manipulative about Wagner's music, which is not to say that it's not honest. In fact, I believe that it's totally honest, but it also happens to be manipulative.“
