将以色列推销为“中东唯一的民主国家”不再是一件容易的事。随着“民主”支柱的崩溃，“稳定”支柱也正在崩溃。如果没有稳定，投资者就会逃跑。
From its very onset, Israel has constructed a brand for itself, a powerful gimmick that was predicated on two main pillars: democracy and stability. The main target audience for this brand has been powerful Western states that wielded disproportionate political, economic and military powers. These Western governments, along with their
人们很少注意到这样一种可能性，即非洲国家也许厌倦了西方支持的富有和暴力的独裁者以及所谓的“民主人士”的旧机器，他们挥霍国家的财富以维持权力。
What if the "epidemic of coups" in West and Central Africa is not that at all but a direct outcome of outright revolutionary movements, similar to the anti-colonial movements that liberated most African nations from the yoke of Western colonialism throughout the 20th century? Whether this is the case or not, we are unlikely to find out anytime
羞辱巴勒斯坦人是以色列的一项实际政策，不能归咎于所谓的“世界上最道德的军队”中的几个害群之马。
Israeli soldiers' humiliation of Palestinian women in the occupied city of Al-Khalil (Hebron) on July 10 was not the first such episode. Sadly, it will not be the last. Indeed, the stripping of five women in front of their children, parading them naked around their family home and then stealing their jewelry by an Israeli military unit was not a
经过对医疗数据、目击者描述、录像和实地研究的详尽审查后，人权观察最近得出结论，以色列政府故意杀害巴勒斯坦儿童。
Israel kills Palestinian children as a matter of policy. This claim can easily be demonstrated and is supported by the latest findings of a Human Rights Watch report. The question is: why? When the police or military shoot a child anywhere in the world, though utterly tragic, it can be argued, at least in theory, that the killing was an

At the zenith of the mass protests in Egypt on January 25, 2011, Twitter, Facebook and other Western-based social media platforms appeared to be the most essential tools for the Egyptian Revolution. Though some observers later contested the use of the terms ‘Twitter Revolution’ or ‘Social Media Revolution,’ one cannot deny the centrality of
China’s slow drift from a Western-centric economic system is being coupled with a whole new approach to foreign policy – ‘wolf diplomacy’ in the West and a gentler, kinder approach in the Global South.
It is feasible for China to continue playing an important role in mediating Middle East conflicts. In fact, it already has. In the case of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, however, mediation is hardly the issue. Even before Beijing successfully managed to achieve reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran last April, Chinese diplomacy has
多年来，数百名艾因希尔维难民在以色列的轰炸中丧生，该难民营成为政治对抗和阴谋的火药桶，内斗给难民营中巴勒斯坦难民的生活增添了新的危险。
Ain Al-Hilweh is known as the "Capital of Palestinian Shatat." The term might not stir many emotions among those who do not fully understand, let alone experience the harrowing existence of ethnic cleansing and perpetual exile - and the tremendous violence which followed. 'Shatat' is roughly translated into “exile” or “Diaspora.” However, the
