That explains the numbers at the pro-Hamas marches.

I've only met one Columbia graduate in my life and she thought Israel - and only Israel - shouldn't exist. But she was also from Turkey, so who knows what she learned where?

Unless they visit in summer and discover Europeans don't have air conditioning or even a decent fridge.

St Louis' Forest Park is every bit as nice and probably no less safe than Paris' Bois de Boulogne. Are the streets of Clayton less safe than those of Neuilly? Probably not much in it, tbh.

I’ve found when discussing the Middle East you often need to let people first go through a decade of trying to understand the place before committing too much of your time. It’s a bit like the voyage of discovery charity workers need to have in Africa before they get it.

Grocery prices in the US are now very high, even higher than in France and a lot higher than in the UK. Especially meat and other animal products.
