This is a stain on the Jewish state

나치 독일이 저지른 Holocaust는 독일 역사의 오점. 토마스 프리드만의 뉴욕 타임즈 칼럼에서 "This is a stain on the Jewish state"를 읽는데 떠오른 말이다. 'holocaust'(대학살, 대파괴), 하면 내게 먼저 생각나는 게 이젠 둘에서 셋이 됐다: BC14(?)세기의 여리고 성, 20세기의 Holocaust, 21세기의 이스라엘에 의한 가자 민긴인 학살.

Netanyahu Is Making Israel Radioactive

By Thomas L. Friedman , reporting from Erez, Israel

"But no fair-minded person can look at the Israeli campaign to destroy Hamas that has killed more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza, about a third of them fighters, and not conclude that something has gone terribly wrong there. The dead include thousands of children, and the survivors many orphans. So much of Gaza is now a wasteland of death and destruction, hunger and ruined homes. Urban warfare brings out the absolute worst in people, and that is certainly true for Israel in Gaza. This is a stain on the Jewish state."

 

 

 

The Struggle for Life's Basics in Rafah

"More than one million Palestinians fled into Rafah, the southernmost region of Gaza, hoping to escape the war. Now, Israel has threatened to extend its invasion there, too."

 

Israel has often struck in Rafah, too, killing people and damaging buildings.

Senate Majority Leader Schumer 상원 연설 (3/14/2024) 기사에서

 

 

The top Senate Democrat, the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the United States, spoke from the Senate floor to condemn Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and call for elections to replace him.

 

Mr. Schumer added: “He has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.”

 

Mr. Schumer said the only solution to the decades-old conflict was a two-state solution: “a demilitarized Palestinian state living side by side with Israel in equal measures of peace, security, prosperity and dignity.” He said Mr. Netanyahu, who has rejected the idea of Palestinian statehood, was jeopardizing Israel’s future.
