Of course, whenever the Israelis defy the world over the settlements, as is now once again happening, US and other officials “denounce” and “regret” the decision. But, at the end of the day, despite these few statements and perhaps even a UN resolution of opposition, the pattern established over the past 40 years is clear: the decision stands.
当然，每当以色列人利用犹太人定居点来表达对国际社会的蔑视，就像现在再次发生的这样的时候，美国和其他国家的官员们都持“谴责”和“遗憾”的态度。但是，当一天过去，无论是新的声明、甚至是联合国的反对决议，建立在40年循环往复之上的模式都是清楚无误地显示：犹太人的决定依然不变。
