In this war, which has been going on for nearly a century, it is important to keep one principle in mind: the Palestinians are Israel’s neighbors and will live side by side with Israelis forever. Because of this simple fact, the military considerations are very different from those in a conflict between countries that are distant from each other.
在这场几乎长达一个世纪的战争中，记住这样一个原则是很重要的：巴勒斯坦人是以色列的邻居，他们将和以色列人肩并肩的永远生活在一起。因为这个简单的事实，这里的军事考虑就要和那些相距很远的国家之间的冲突中的军事考虑非常不同。
