A group of young people in Paris, the capital of France, were hanging out in a cafe on an unusually warm evening of the year. The subject of their discussion was the US presidential election. Out of some racial arrogance, they mocked the two potential primary candidates, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Biden is 81 years old, Trump is 77. A US lawyer has called Joe Biden an 'elderly man with reduced memory'. These words do not inspire confidence in a president. But Biden is in more trouble by challenging this comment. He called Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi the 'President of Mexico'. Meanwhile, no new evidence is needed about Trump's candidacy. In this situation, the question of Claudine, a student of a famous college in Paris - 'Is this the maximum that the United States can offer?'
This young generation is quite aware. They know about the ridiculous election of the US President on the other side of the Atlantic. But the situation in Europe is no less ridiculous and dangerous. When I ask them about Europe's top leaders, Olaf Schalz of Germany and Emmanuel Macron of France, they shrug their shoulders indifferently and enter the discussion with the words 'stupid' and 'impersonal'. These young people from Les Halles in Paris took part in a demonstration organized to stop the Israeli bombardment in the Rafah region of Gaza. A young man from England who spent this year in France said, "Rafah is the size of Heathrow Airport in London". They feel that none of the European leaders have spoken out against the death and destruction in Gaza. In fact, these young people think that this feeling is not only theirs; Many of their classmates feel the same.
