From Free net encyclopedia
Dror Feiler (b. 1950) is a musician and artist. Though born in Tel Aviv, Israel, he has been living in Stockholm, Sweden since 1973. He is married to the artist Gunilla Sköld-Feiler.
Feiler's father worked on a kibbutz and met a group of Palestinians in Bucharest in 1986 while it was still illegal and he was also sentenced to prison for it. His 80-year-old mother works with mobile health centrals in Palestinian villages in the West Bank that have no other access to healthcare and other services.
Feiler served as a paratrooper in the Israeli army, but defected in 1973 as one of the first "refuseniks". He is currently the president of Jews for Israeli-Palestinian Peace.
Feiler plays saxophone in the jazz band Lokomotiv Konkret. In January 2004 he made international news with his artwork Snow White and The Madness of Truth, which was vandalized by Zvi Mazel, who was at that time the Israeli ambassador to Sweden.
