克里的讲话的第一部分其实说了很多巴以问题的常识,很奇怪这么多年从来没看到媒体介绍过,无论是中国还是美国媒体。我也是去年去以色列旅游才知道这些的。比如很少听媒体说过巴勒斯坦人现在正在生活在无法保证基本人权的生活里:“I have also often visited West Bank communities, where I met Palestinians struggling for basic freedom and dignity amidst the occupation, passed by military checkpoints that can make even the most routine daily trips to work or school an ordeal, and heard from business leaders who could not get the permits that they needed to get their products to the market and families who have struggled to secure permission just to travel for needed medical care.” 比如两国解决方案(巴勒斯坦建国)是给以色列提供和平、安全以及真正的民主的最可行的办法:"......Jews and Palestinians......have a choice. They can choose to live together in one state, or they can separate into two states. But here is a fundamental reality: if the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic – it cannot be both – and it won’t ever really be at peace. Moreover, the Palestinians will never fully realize their vast potential in a homeland of their own with a one-state solution." 且两国解决方案是巴以双方民意都认可的最终解决方案:“Now, most on both sides understand this basic choice, and that is why it is important that polls of Israelis and Palestinians show that there is still strong support for the two-state solution – in theory. They just don’t believe that it can happen.” 以色列人建筑犹太人定居点正是为了阻止巴勒斯坦建国以及完成对巴勒斯坦的最终吞并而和以色列自身安全完全无关:“......this is not to say that the settlements are the whole or even the primary cause of this conflict...But if more and more settlers are moving into the middle of Palestinian areas, it’s going to be just that much harder to separate, that much harder to imagine transferring sovereignty, and that is exactly the outcome that some are purposefully accelerating. Let’s be clear: Settlement expansion has nothing to do with Israel's security. Many settlements actually increase the security burden on the Israeli Defense Forces. And leaders of the settler movement are motivated by ideological imperatives that entirely ignore legitimate Palestinian aspirations.” 另外美国对以色列的军事援助是惊人的:“......more than one-half of our entire global Foreign Military Financing goes to Israel. And this fall, we concluded an historic $38 billion memorandum ......”
当然克里也用一半时间谴责巴勒斯坦那方面的恐怖袭击之类的。有些批评克里单方面谴责以色列没有批评巴勒斯坦一方的其实并没有去看他说了什么。
