TEL AVIV – During the military operations in Gaza, code-named “Fused Lead” (after a Hanukkah song about a small spinning top – one of that holiday’s symbols – made out of fused lead), we Israelis have been reminded of a fundamental fact: Gaza is not Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, or even Lebanon. It is a region composed of a common country that we share with the Palestinians.
特拉维夫—在代号为“熔铅（Fused Lead）[得名于一首关于一只由熔化的铅制成的，旋转的小陀螺的哈努卡犹太人节歌曲。这种陀螺是该节日的象征之一。]”的加沙军事行动中。我们以色列人又认识到一个根本的现实：加沙不是越南、伊拉克、阿富汗甚或黎巴嫩。它是一个由我们和巴勒斯坦人共同所有的国家组成的地区。我们叫它以色列，他们称它为巴勒斯坦。
