Political views, portrayal as anti-semite

In the political views section, one might think that Mikis Theodorakis is a real anti-semite. Maybe he said those things, but the article doesn't provide a balanced view on this matter.

For instance, he has condemned the holocaust and thought it was a disgrace that Golden Dawn members denied it. He also called it one of the most cruel things that humans did and felt ashamed to be human at the thought of the holocaust.

And he also said that he was wrong in his remarks that he was an anti-semite:

“Theodorakis sent a letter to the board, that was published in the Greek media, in which he tried to prove that he is not an anti-Semite, he is a friend of the Jewish people and he hates anti-Semitism as he hates Zionism. At the end of his letter he claims that his recent remark during an interview that ‘I am anti- Semite’ was just a wrong use of word,” Eliezer wrote. http://www.jpost.com/International/Austrian-parliament-bars-Holocaust-song-by-Theodorakis
