If you look at how long it took to get this far, I feel very embarrassed for being Dutch. If you look at how few countries have taken this step, I feel proud for being Dutch.

At least some countries are making first steps in the right direction. The world's largest economies - the U.S. and China - have been extensively increasing business ties with Israel, with China being by far Israel's largest importer in the meantime.
