Who claim that Wagner was a nazi?
In Israel its a law since 1948

Maybe the law is irrelevant in 2011 but it has no effect on you so don't take it personally.
I don't care much about Wagner but as long as there are holocaust survivors who simply cant stand the thought of allowing Wagner in Israel I respect that.
It probably will change in near future if enough people will mind or care about the issue.
Did you know that Beatles where banned from visiting Israel in 1965.
Now...that's stupid and cultural loss.
