What is "Belgian culture" anyway?

with Israel and the Palestinian Authority, in a move that infuriated
the Foreign Ministry when it was publicized today.
In a decision taken on December 7, the Flemish government adopted a
resolution stating that "as long as military violence and terror
continues in the region [the Middle East], and in the absence of
negotiations or implementation of elements of agreements, there will
be no new direct bilateral cooperation projects with the PA or with
the State of Israel."

What is Belgian culture ?
It's a country with two cultures : flemish and walloon.
Although we don't agree 100%, we don't steel land from the other.
And we neither use F16's, bulldozers and lawyers-speakmen to harrass the
other.

And you can name any significant product of either culture in last,
say, 100 years?

Just curious...My few hours in Belgium were the most boring part of entire
vacation, and that is counting waiting in airports and eating in London
restaurants...

Rene Magritte started out designing wall paper in Belgium.
The he went to Paris around 1924 where he met Giorgio Di
Chirico who a few years before started surrealism with Carlo
Carra. Magritte became a leading exponent of surrealism
becoming better known than either Dali or DiChirico.
and that's all folks

Boy your an insulting pea brain. Too bad countries cannot detect ass
holes in advance and keep them out.
I have never set foot in Belgium, but I would think it would be a
pleasure. More than one could say about where ever and whoever
claim's you.

Better known than Chirico? I don't think so! Belgium 's fame is in
waffles and chocolate, not in art, not in bravery, not in smarts
considering that they of all people set up courts to judge world leaders
before considering their bloody past in the Congo.

Must be because you are too busy kidnapping your neighbors' children, raping
them, and burying them in your pretty backyards.

Wrong answer! The SOB's have raped and despoiled the Congo to the point
that it may never recover. When anyone speaks of stealing someone's land
it is the height of hutzpah. The absolute worst colonial regime on the
planet and historically has been Belgiums Congo. They destroyed
families, tribes. They sucked out resources of the Congo while enslaving
the population to mine and cut the virgin forest. Belgium is still
benefitting from it's ownership in the past of the vast Congo. When
Belgium pays reparations and apologize to their victims then maybe will
Belgians have a right to speak and then only after they do not single
out Israel in their antisemitism while being silent about slavery in
Sudan, the Hama massacre,, the Halabja massacre and the Kurds still
waiting to get their ancestral land they deserve to get ever since they
were promised by Europeans.

As an Israeli, you should first clean your own garden before pointing

Today - definitely almost everyone can think of a Magritte
(like the green apple) but everyone has forgotten the
teacher Georgio De Chirico.
When I met De Chirico in NY about 1972/3 he had a show in
the Huntington Hartford Museum. No one, museum or gallery
would show him. He was forgotten because most of the work he
showed was terrible. People only remembered his Alitalia posters
I only saw 5 pieces out of perhaps 100 that were worth
coming to see. All five were of the oldest work - 2 of his
wild eyed horses and 3 self portraits. I had a very
interesting chat with de Chirico with him standing in front
of two self portraits -- eerie!!!! (He set up that show to
create cash for his daughter ... he had given her all of his
unsold work. He died 5 years later

1. It is the Flemish Federal government that decided this, not Belgium
as a whole.
2. That also does not mean that the Flemish population is in consensus
with this decision. I for one am not.
