Israel, as the territorial answer to the old Jewish fears , tends to take decisions only on the basis of worst-case scenarios. Its new doctrine of “brutal response” when attacked from lands from which it has withdrawn – as happened in Lebanon and Gaza – might be reprehensible, and it may even doom the country to international opprobrium.
以色列，作为对长久以来的犹太族忧虑的领土回答，习惯于将决定建立在最坏情形的基础上。当遭到来自其已经撤出的领土上的袭击时——像在黎巴嫩和加沙所发生的那样，以色列的“残酷回应”新主张可能应该受到谴责，并且甚至可能使这个国家遭到国际骂名。但是，这不是“种族灭绝”。
