The gap between what is being inflicted(施加（痛苦等）) on Palestinians and the appropriate reaction on the part of(就……而言；由……所做出) the international community has always been vast. But now it yawns(裂开，豁开) so wide that it swallows reality itself. As arms export licences for Israel from states such as Germany surge(激增，飙升), talk of harsher measures and sanctions on the part of other European countries remains talk(仍是空谈). People continue to be killed in Gaza, Palestinian families remain besieged(被围困的) in the West Bank, and the Israeli political right has been removing all doubt(消除一切疑虑) that these violations are intentional, by telling the world of its hopes and plans.
巴勒斯坦人所遭受的苦难与国际社会应有的反应之间的鸿沟向来巨大。但如今，这道鸿沟已宽到足以吞噬现实本身。随着德国等国对以色列的武器出口许可证激增，其他欧洲国家关于更严厉措施和制裁的讨论仍停留在口头上。加沙地带的人们继续被杀害，约旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦家庭仍处于围困之中，而以色列政治右翼通过向世界宣告其希望与计划，已消除了人们对其暴行蓄意为之的一切疑虑。
A sample from only the past few days. On Thursday, Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, detailed a scheme for the illegal ethnic cleansing(种族清洗) of all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. He also posted an AI-generated video, now deleted, of Palestinian men entering a conveyor belt into detention, emerging emaciated(憔悴的，消瘦的) and tearful. Also a few days ago, the defence minister, Israel Katz, stated that the country was “organised and prepared” to expel(驱逐，开除) Palestinians from Gaza “by every way possible(用一切可能的方式)”.
仅过去几天就有不少例子。周四，以色列极右翼国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔详细阐述了一项从加沙地带非法种族清洗所有巴勒斯坦人的计划。他还发布了一段现已删除的AI生成视频，视频中巴勒斯坦男子进入传送带被送往拘留所，出来时憔悴不堪、泪流满面。同样在几天前，国防部长以色列·卡茨表示，该国已“组织就绪、准备充分”，将“以一切可能的方式”将巴勒斯坦人驱逐出加沙。
This macabre(可怕的，阴森的) theatre continues to unfold, its performances less plausible(貌似可信的) by the day(一天天地，逐日). The Board of Peace promises Gaza will be “redeveloped for the benefit” of its people, while the notion that those same Palestinians in Gaza cannot be allowed to thrive is expressed by Israeli politicians with consistency and a frequency that makes a mockery of the declarations.(和平委员会承诺加沙将重建，但以色列政客却一贯宣称不能让巴勒斯坦人繁荣，使承诺沦为笑柄。) Last month, the former head of Israel’s national security council, Giora Eiland, pointed out the fact that Israel’s acceptance of Donald Trump’s 15-point plan was a matter of temporary military tactics(战术，策略), rather than long-term peace. “Israel has no interest in Gaza being rebuilt, it’s better for us that it be destroyed for generations to come,” he said.
这场阴森可怖的闹剧继续上演，其表演一天比一天更不可信。和平委员会承诺加沙将“为了其人民的利益”而“重新开发”，而以色列政客却以一贯且频繁的口吻宣称，不能让加沙的那些巴勒斯坦人繁荣兴旺，这使那些声明沦为笑柄。上个月，以色列国家安全委员会前主席吉奥拉·艾兰德指出，以色列接受唐纳德·特朗普的15点计划只是出于临时军事策略，而非长期和平。“以色列对加沙重建毫无兴趣，对我们来说，它最好被摧毁几代人，”他说。
