The wars in Israel affected me, both because I was a Jew and a human being. I gave up on communism, a thing that was very difficult. I finally understood that the Marxist concept was inhuman. I also knew a lot of things about capitalism. I would like to quote Churchill: ‘Our democracy is not perfect, but there is no better system.’ I’m not thrilled about the present democratic system in the world, in which material interests prevail over moral and human principles. That’s my opinion on the European states’ attitude towards Israel. I’m familiar with the Balfour Declaration [20], with the hopes Jews had about it, with the United States resolution of 1922 and with the dirty game England played in order to maintain intact their relations with the Arab countries, which are the masters of oil resources, a game that is still going on.
