<SHRUG> For some reason Israel is thought to be big (Jeroen, do you know to
find it on map?) and strong (thank God!). Palestinians are considered poor
and miserable, badly treated by Israel (all world knows that - there *is*
freedom of press here, unlike in Arab countries. Did you hear that Israeli
hospital took in Jordan Palestinian child, which Jordan hospital refused to
treat?). And it's fashionable to be on the side of the weak.
