Judeophobia:
Europe's Trademark
The claim that the alleged danger of Judeophobia is an excuse to “silence anti-Israel criticism,” signifies a total shut down of warning systems against this worrying phenomenon.

古斯塔沃 佩雷德尼克，耶路撒冷:

Recently Revived Ancient Civilisations:
Bridges Between China and Israel
At first sight, it is difficult to imagine two nations more different to each other than China and Israel. China is four hundred times Israel’s size and two hundred times its population.
