Israel is, of course, the single issue on which the Islamic sense of resentment focuses. It exemplifies Western hypocrisy – whether over nuclear non-proliferation, the refusal to deal with the elected Hamas, or readiness to criticize Russia for “disproportionate” use of force in Georgia while remaining quiet over 1,300 deaths in Gaza.
而以色列这个国家则理所当然地成为伊斯兰世界愤怒的发泄目标。因为它是西方人伪善的证明 —— 无论是在核不扩散，拒绝与民选的哈马斯政府合作，或者是在指责俄罗斯在格鲁吉亚“不当”使用武力的同时却对加沙地区冲突的 1300 条亡魂保持沉默的行为。
