As a friend of Israel, I am surprised that more of us are not calling on the country’s leaders to seize the brief geopolitical opportunity of a viable two-state solution, while the offer remains on the table. Israel’s continued humiliation of the Palestinians, now telecast live into hundreds of millions of Muslim homes, is generating unnecessary reservoirs of hate.
当两国方案有效时，以色列却未能趁机把握住这个地缘政治机会，而作为以色列的友人，我对其他大多数友人的无所作为而感到震惊。以色列对巴勒斯坦人的不断羞辱已经随着电视直播进入了数百万穆斯林家中，并积累着越来越深的仇恨。而那些西岸定居者欢天喜地的表现只能令这一切雪上加霜。
