Like Dayan before him, Barak believes that Israel, a “villa in the jungle,” is forced to go to war every few years to consolidate its deterrence in an unmerciful Middle East neighborhood, where “there is no pity for the weak, nor a second chance for the defeated.”
与前任达杨一样，巴拉克认为，以色列是“丛林中的庄园”，被迫每隔几年就打一场战争巩固其在残酷的中东四邻间的威慑力，这里“不同情弱者，被打败者不会获得第二次机会。”
