(Toronto Sun-Canada) Giuseppe Valiante - Israeli Ambassador Rafael Barak says an exhibit at Ottawa City Hall glorifies terrorism and exalts people who murdered innocent Jews. Palestinian-born Toronto-based artist Rehab Nazzal created the exhibit, with grants from the Ontario Arts Council and the City of Ottawa. The exhibit pictures Abu Iyad, the founder of the Black September terrorist group which murdered 11 Israeli athletes and officials at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany. It also includes Dalal Mughrabi, who participated in a 1978 bus hijacking in Israel that killed 38 people including many children. At least five other people projected on the gallery wall are associated with terrorism, Barak said.
