亲爱的世界：我不在乎
I don’t care that you sympathize with Hamas

I know you wouldn’t tolerate any of the things they did to us if they would’ve done it to you
我知道，您也不会容忍他们对您做任何他们对我们做的事
I don’t care that you’re outraged by Israel’s response to the massacre more than the massacre itself

我知道，如果您亲身经历过，您会尽一切努力消除这纯粹的邪恶
I don’t care that this doesn’t fit neatly into your carefully constructed narrative of ‘Israel as aggressor’ and ‘Palestinian as victim’
我不在乎这是否符合您精心构建的“以色列是侵略者”和“巴勒斯坦是受害者”的叙述
The truth hurts sometimes, but hey, don’t let facts get in the way of your feelings
真相有时会伤人，但是嘿，别让事实妨碍了您的感受

什么人道主义姿态来营救我们230 多名人质？那些——老人、儿童、婴儿——从婴儿床上被抢走的婴儿？
I don’t care that you’ve rallied for Palestine as part of your march for LGBTQ rights, trans rights, workers rights, socialism, climate change, intersectionality, Black Lives Matter, fighting Islamaphobia and ‘all forms of racism’
我不在乎您是否是巴勒斯坦集会的一部分：LGBTQ 权利、跨性别者权利、工人权利、社会主义、气候变化、交叉性、黑人生命也是命、打击伊斯兰恐惧症和“一切形式的种族主义”
Your gullibility would be laughable if it wasn’t so hypocritical. None of those things exist under Hamas
如果您的轻信不是那么虚伪的话，那就太可笑了。这些东西在哈马斯统治下都不存在
I don’t care that you ‘love Jewish people - just hate Israel’, that you have some friends that are Jewish, that maybe you’re ethnically Jewish yourself - and therefore you’re entitled to levy every libel in the playbook against us
我不在乎您“爱犹太人 - 只是讨厌以色列”，您有一些犹太人朋友，也许您自己就是犹太人 - 因此您有权对我们进行一切诽谤
Words matter. They lead to actions. When a lie is repeated often enough it’s accepted as truth. You are laying the groundwork for more attacks against us

Your humanity is selective. In your mind, human rights don’t apply to us because we are undeserving. You didn’t speak up when our women and children were horribly assaulted

I don’t care that you think we are too powerful, too technologically advanced, too sophisticated

You echo chamber is just a another weapon in their strategic arsenal
您的回声室只是他们战略武器库中的另一种武器
I don’t care that you accused us of bombing the Al Ahli hospital
我不在乎您指责我们轰炸阿赫利医院
It was only a matter of time before you found a symbol for Israel’s wickedness. The subsequent retractions were a fig leaf once the truth emerged that Islamic Jihad was responsible and that the hospital is still standing
这是迟早的问题，在您找到以色列邪恶的象征之前， 一旦伊斯兰圣战组织对此负责，而且医院仍屹立不倒的真相浮出水面的时候，您随后的撤回就成了遮羞布。

Morality over evil
道德战胜邪恶
Not that it matters to you - but we will stick to the rules and hold the high moral ground not because you expect it from us, but because they are a value for us

How we could painfully dismember parts of our homeland and offer them on the platter of peace to Palestinians that want neither peace nor some parts (they want all of it)
我们如何痛苦地肢解我们祖国的部分地区，并将它们放在和平的平台上，提供给既不想要和平也不想要某些部分（他们想要全部）的巴勒斯坦人
