But an attack by either Israel or the US on Iran’s nuclear installations would be a calamitous mistake, or, as Meir Dagan, a former chief of Israel’s Mossad intelligence service, put it, “the stupidest idea” possible. So it is to be hoped that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s war rhetoric and vulgar manipulation of the memory of the Holocaust are nothing more than a ploy to divert the world’s attention from the Palestinian problem that he has done nothing to resolve.
但如果以色列或者美国对伊朗核设施发起攻击，这将是一个灾难性的错误，或者就像以色列摩萨德情机构前首脑梅厄·达甘说的那样是“最愚蠢的想法”。如此，人们希望以色列总理本雅明•内塔尼亚胡的战争言论和操纵大屠杀记忆的卑劣行径仅仅是他转移世界对巴勒斯坦问题关注的一种手段。到目前为止，他未采取任何行动去解决巴勒斯坦问题。
