Standing with Israel
Last Thursday in Rome, a mass gathering featuring speeches by politicians, writers, artists, and other major figures from around Europe was held in Rome. The aim: to express united support for the State of Israel in a time when that nation is increasingly under threat. In anticipation of this unique event, the newspaper Il Foglio featured articles by five international supports of the initiative. Among them was this piece by Bruce Bawer, here presented in the original English.
