So for Europeans we are like Belgiums in the Congo, or the French in Alger, or the British in India. Strange interlopers in somebody else's land. But in fact, we [Israeli] have been here for 4,000 years. This is our ancestral homeland.](/assets/img/quote-photos/there-is-a-structural-difference-between-the-way-that-europe-views-israel-and-am.jpg)
