Antisemitic statements

I agree that if it were just covered once in the news once and quickly forgotten, then you could argue it was WP:UNDUE to mention. However, the reality is that Theodorakis' comments have been discussed in several books and academic papers about antisemitism, even years or decades after the fact. The following is just what I found in a quick Google Scholar search.

• Gerstenfeld, Manfred (2005). "THE DEEP ROOTS OF ANTI-SEMITISM IN EUROPEAN SOCIETY". Jewish Political Studies Review. 17 (1/2): 3–46. ISSN 0792-335X.
• Gur-Ze’ev, Ilan (2010). "The New Anti-Semitism—Toward Educational Challenges". The New Anti-Semitism—Toward Educational Challenges. Brill. ISBN 978-94-6091-272-6.

WP:BLP is not and has never been an excuse to whitewash negative information about the subject that has been extensively covered in reliable sources. When reverting it was claimed that the remarks were "taken out of context". That may be the opinion of some wikipedia editors, but not what WP:RS says. So I suggest the following content is restored:

In 2003, he stated, "Everything that happens today in the world has to do with the Zionists … American Jews are behind the world economic crisis that has hit Greece as well." He has described himself as "anti-Israel and anti-Semite," because "this small nation (Israel) is the root of evil".
