Dror Feiler

Dror Feiler (born August 31st, 1951) is a musician and artist. Though born in Tel Aviv, Israel, he has been living in Stockholm, Sweden since 1973.

Feiler served as a paratrooper in the Israeli army, but defected in 1973 as one of the first "refuseniks" (= Israeli soldiers and reservists who refuse to serve in the occupied territories, in protest against Israel's actions in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip). He is currently the president of Jews for Israeli-Palestinian Peace.

In January 2004 he and his wife Gunilla Sköld-Feiler made international news with their artwork Snow White and The Madness of Truth, which was vandalized by Zvi Mazel, who was at that time the Israeli ambassador to Sweden. Mazel claimed the artwork glorified a person who killed 21 and injured 51 people in suicide bomb attack in a restaurant in Haifa.
