Here it was: two of the world’s self-styled leading “democracies” openly and unashamedly embracing and celebrating their mutual criminality and systematic dismantling of international law, while denigrating the common decency and courage of many of their own citizens and the almost universal opinion of humankind on the question of Palestine. 事情就是這樣:兩個自詡為世界領先「民主國家」的國家公開地、無恥地擁抱和慶祝它們的共同犯罪和系統性地廢除國際法,同時詆毀它們許多公民的普遍正直和勇氣以及幾乎普遍的觀點.

Some 146 countries now formally recognise the state of Palestine, making the United States and a handful of close allies the outliers in their refusal. What could possibly go wrong when it comes to liberty, justice and nationhood as these ideal standards are being twisted and reimposed on – or rather against – the rest of the world? So much for “a decent respect to the opinions of mankind” as famously stated in the US Declaration of Independence. 目前約有 146 個國家正式承認巴勒斯坦國,這使得美國和少數親密盟友成為拒絕承認巴勒斯坦國的例外。當這些理想標準被扭曲並重新強加給——或者更確切地說反對——世界其他國家時,當談到自由、正義和民族主義時,可能會出現什麼問題?美國《獨立宣言》中著名的「對人類意見的適當尊重」就到此為止了.
