Ian Buruma, the British writer, claims that this European rage against America and Israel has to do with guilt and fear. The two world wars led to such catastrophic carnage that "never again" was interpreted as "welfare at home, non-intervention abroad."
英国作家Ian Buruma认为，欧洲人对美国和以色列的愤怒源于内心的愧疚和恐惧。两次世界大战造成了灾难性的流血，以至于"历史再也不能重演"被演绎成了"安享国内幸福，不管国际事务。"这一理念的问题在于：只有在美国的佑护下它才有存在的可能。
