The Israeli press is vastly more informative and critical of the Israeli government, despite the military censorship, than Western media

I actually don't know exactly why except that the information space in most of the world is tightly controlled by America. 

But years ago European governments were mildly sympathetic to the Arabs, who are now called Palestinians.

My guess is that September 11 2001 made people see Islamism as the problem rather than America's record of interference in the Middle East. 

I found observing from Bucharest British reactions to September 11 as strange as their reaction to the death of Diana. 

I was in London for that one and realised I no longer understood most of my countrymen.

There has followed a quarter of a century of American prompted madness.
