Belgium-Israel
Today Belgium signed an agreement with Israel to make better trade, cultural exchanges and much more.
The signing was pretty important, because Israel needs these cooperations to get out of an economical impasse.
Belgium in that matter said at the beginning of the intifada that it would not support any side, until they started peace talks.
These peace talks started recently, and they keep word.
More cultural exchanges between Israel, Palestinian areas, and Belgium, is something I support.
It could become an interesting dialogue.
Me for that matter, am going to present work in a gallery in Tel Aviv, in May.
Nothing political, just art ;)
Politics... Belgium is as good in playing 'Janus' as many others.
While so called supporters for the Palestinians -see trial against Sharon etc.- big deals were done through the Antwerp scene of diamonds. And when there was a crisis in this area, when some politicians wanted to oppress Israel by boycotting their products, as fast the oppression was recalled, because of a fear of loosing the Antwerp diamond-scene.
Diamonds are forever...
