Israel's War Is Not Jewish Wisdom, But Colonial Thinking
zuì jìn最近zhōng dōng中东dì qū地区fā shēng发生le了hěn很duō多chōng tū冲突 ，ràng让wǒ我xiǎng qǐ想起 2016nián年qù去yī lǎng伊朗lǚ xíng旅行shí时 ，fā xiàn发现nà lǐ那里yǒu有yí gè一个hěn很yǒu huó lì有活力de的yóu tài犹太shè qū社区 。
Recently, there have been many conflicts in the Middle East, which reminded me of my trip to Iran in 2016, where I found a very vibrant Jewish community.
xiàn zài现在 ，wǒ我měi tiān每天dōu都guān xīn关心zài在yī lǎng伊朗hé和yǐ sè liè以色列de的péng yǒu朋友hé和jiā rén家人de的ān quán安全 。
Now, I worry every day about the safety of my friends and family in Iran and Israel.
hěn很duō多rén人pī píng批评yǐ sè liè以色列méi yǒu没有yòng用hé píng和平de的fāng fǎ方法duì dài对待dí rén敌人 ，ér shì而是yòng用wǔ lì武力 。
Many people criticize Israel for not using peaceful methods to deal with its enemies, but instead using force.
qí shí其实 ，yǐ sè liè以色列gèng更xiàng像shì是yòng用zhí mín殖民guó jiā国家de的fāng shì方式lái来chǔ lǐ处理wèn tí问题 ，zhuī qiú追求qiáng dà强大hé和kòng zhì控制 。
In fact, Israel acts more like a colonial power in handling issues, seeking strength and control.
yǐ sè liè以色列duì对yī lǎng伊朗de的gōng jī攻击hé和zài在jiā shā加沙de的zhàn zhēng战争ràng让hěn很duō多rén人gǎn dào感到bù ān不安 。
Israel's attacks on Iran and the war in Gaza make many people uneasy.
lì shǐ历史shàng上yǒu xiē有些yóu tài犹太sī xiǎng jiā思想家yě也dān xīn担心zhè yàng这样huì会ràng让yóu tài rén犹太人yì zhí一直shēng huó生活zài在wēi xiǎn危险hé和bù ān不安zhōng中 。
Some Jewish thinkers in history also worried that this would keep Jews living in danger and insecurity.
xiàn zài现在 ，suī rán虽然méi yǒu没有ā lā bó阿拉伯guó jiā国家zhí jiē直接wēi xié威胁yǐ sè liè以色列 ，dàn但yǐ sè liè以色列cháng cháng常常shuō说yī lǎng伊朗hěn很wēi xiǎn危险 。
Currently, although no Arab country directly threatens Israel, Israel often says Iran is very dangerous.
qí shí其实 ，yī lǎng伊朗hěn很jiǔ久méi yǒu没有zhǔ dòng主动gōng jī攻击bié de别的guó jiā国家 。
Actually, Iran has not actively attacked other countries for a long time.
yǐ sè liè以色列yǒu有hěn很duō多hé wǔ qì核武器 ，dàn但hái shì还是jué de觉得bù不ān quán安全 。
Israel has many nuclear weapons but still feels insecure.
yǐ sè liè以色列yòng用shèng jīng圣经de的huà话lái来gěi给zhè这cì次xíng dòng行动mìng míng命名 ，biǎo xiàn表现chū出tā men他们xiǎng yào想要qiáng dà强大hé和shèng lì胜利 。
Israel uses words from the Bible to name this operation, showing their desire for strength and victory.
rú guǒ如果yǐ sè liè以色列yì zhí一直yòng用wǔ lì武力lái来bǎo hù保护zì jǐ自己 ，kě néng可能yǒng yuǎn永远dōu都bú huì不会jué de觉得ān quán安全 。
If Israel always uses force to protect itself, it may never feel safe.
