(ANSAmed) - TEL AVIV, NOVEMBER 5 - There has been an outcry in Israel over the news reported today by daily newspaper Haaretz that Hezbollah militants are carrying out a campaign of intimidation against the release in Lebanon of 'The Diary of Anne Frank, which has recently been translated into Farsi and Arabic. The famous diary had been only available in Lebanon in English until now, and thus was not accessible to the greater general public. The idea that the diary, written by a young Jewish girl between 1942 and 1944 in an attic in Amsterdam who would later end up in a Nazi death camp, can now be read by any Arabic speaker is evidently unacceptable for Hezbollah, which in recent days has been trying to find legal way of prosecuting anyone selling the book. Last week, Hezbollahs television channel launched an appeal to the judicial authorities on the matter, on the basis of a report by the Committee for the boycotting of Zionist products which considers the release of the Diary of Anne Frank to be in violation of the ban of Israeli goods. Quoting the same reason, some time ago the Lebanese minister for Information, Tarek Mitri, had banned the showing in cinemas of the Israeli animated film Waltz with Bashir. (ANSAmed).
