As a side note, I have heard on the radio that a piece by Wagner was removed
from a concert program in Israel. I think people there take his music as a
personal offence. However, it's obvious they could enjoy it having less
knowledge about the author.

You can't hurt with the music itself - a great form of art, isn't it?
