    I guess France’s state position is pro-apartheid and in support of multi-decade ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, then. Which, you know… tell me some thing new :(

      The good news is that people in the world, as a whole, seem to be viewing this differently now than in the past. It’s the governments more than anything that are calling for blood. This suggests to me that the next generation of leaders might behave differently.

        I’d noticed the same and was pleasantly surprised.

        When this all broke out one my first thoughts was whether the post 9/11 experience would provide some balance in the west that would otherwise have been lacking. I feel like that might be true to an extent.

        Even the national public news here is now posting fairly balanced articles and certainly doesn’t toe our government’s “pro israel no matter what” line. I was pleasantly surprised.
