For three painful years, Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, in retaliation for the Hamas terror attacks on 7 October 2023, has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, wounded thousands more and reduced most of the territory to rubble.(三年来,以色列为报复哈马斯2023年10月7日的恐怖袭击,在加沙发动种族灭绝式战争,已造成逾7.4万巴勒斯坦人死亡、数千人受伤,并将加沙大部分地区夷为废墟。) It has changed views of Israel across the world, increased support for Palestine and raised questions about US power.
三年来,以色列为报复哈马斯于2023年10月7日发动的恐怖袭击,在加沙发动了一场种族灭绝式的战争,已造成逾7.4万名巴勒斯坦人死亡,数千人受伤,并将加沙大部分地区夷为废墟。这场战争改变了世界各地人们对以色列的看法,增进了对巴勒斯坦的支持,也引发了人们对美国实力的质疑。
Europe’s failure to hold Israel’s government to account has cost it global credibility and influence. But I fear something even more consequential(重要的,影响重大的) than that: Gaza is changing Europe itself.
欧洲未能追究以色列政府的责任,这使其丧失了全球信誉和影响力。但我担心还有比这更严重的后果:加沙正在改变欧洲自身。
European governments did nothing to try to stop the genocide; there have been no collective sanctions(制裁), no trade restrictions or ending of arms sales to Israel. The EU sanctions Russia over its war in Ukraine but retains almost-business-as-usual ties with Israel, a blatant double standard.(欧盟因乌克兰战争制裁俄罗斯,却与以色列维持几乎一切照旧的关系,这是赤裸裸的双重标准。)
欧洲各国政府没有采取任何行动试图制止这场种族灭绝;它们没有实施集体制裁,没有贸易限制,也没有停止向以色列出售武器。欧盟因乌克兰战争而制裁俄罗斯,却与以色列维持着几乎一切照旧的关系,这是赤裸裸的双重标准。
