01 6park.com从乌克兰和加沙引发 “选择性同情”说起 6park.com
Early in the Gaza conflict, a TikTok video of John Kirby went viral. In the first frames, the White House spokesman is composed as he describes civilian casualties in Gaza as part of the “brutal, ugly” reality of war. In the second part, he chokes up as he describes his horror at civilian deaths in Ukraine. 6park.com 加沙冲突初期,约翰•柯比(John Kirby)的一段TikTok视频在网上疯传。在视频的前半部分,美国国家安全委员会(National Security Council)发言人平静地将加沙平民伤亡描述为“残酷、丑陋”的战争现实的一部分。在视频的后半部分,他在描述自己对乌克兰平民死亡的震惊时哽咽到说不出话。 6park.comFor the Biden administration’s critics, that video summed up America’s double standards. But the whole debate about the relative treatment of Ukraine and Gaza misses a wider point about selective compassion. The tragedies of Ukraine, Gaza and Israel all get far more attention than wars and humanitarian calamities elsewhere in the world. 6park.com对拜登政府的批评者来说,这段视频揭示了美国的双重标准。但是,围绕乌克兰和加沙相对待遇的整个辩论,没有抓住“选择性同情”(selective compassion)这个更具普遍意义的要点。乌克兰、加沙和以色列发生的悲剧,都比世界其他地方的战争和人道主义灾难得到多得多的关注。 6park.comThe threat of a famine in Gaza is currently making global headlines every day. But last week the UN warned that “Sudan will soon be the world’s worst hunger crisis” with 18mn people facing acute food insecurity. It highlighted an ongoing conflict that involves “mass graves, gang rapes, shockingly indiscriminate attacks in densely populated areas” and more than 6.5mn displaced people. Reports from refugee camps in Darfur describe children dying of malnutrition every two hours. 6park.com加沙饥荒的威胁现在天天成为全球头条新闻。但上周联合国警告称,“苏丹很快将发生世界上最严重的饥饿危机”,1800万人面临严重的粮食不安全。联合国强调该国正在经历一场持续不断的冲突,涉及“乱葬坑、轮奸、在人口稠密地区进行令人震惊的无差别攻击”,以及超过650万人流离失所。发自达尔富尔难民营的报道称,每两小时就有一名儿童死于营养不良。 6park.com——本文2024年3月26日发布于FT中文网,英文原题为Ukraine, Gaza and the rise of identity geopolitics
