So, whatever moral objections to Israel’s actions over the past month there might be, there are even more serious objections to be made against Hamas. In contrast to previous episodes, Arab countries like Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia have been very restrained in their criticism of Israel, though perhaps less for moral reasons and more because they regard militant Islam as a graver threat than Israel to their own regimes.
因此，不管反对以色列在过去的一个月中的行动的道德理由为何，都应该以更强的力度反对哈马斯的行为。与前几次相反，埃及、约旦和沙特阿拉伯等阿拉伯国家在批评以色列方面都表现得相当克制，尽管或许道德方面的原因并不大，而是因为它们认为军事化的伊斯兰教是比伊斯兰还要大的政权威胁。
