以色列与哈马斯在加沙地带的停火本应自2025年10月10日起生效。然而自那时起，已有1500多名巴勒斯坦人（大多为平民）被以色列军队打死。另一方面，以色列军队自2025年10月28日起未遭受任何直接损失，当时其在飞地南部拉法与巴勒斯坦武装人员交火时有一名士兵阵亡。2025年10月19日，已有三名以色列士兵在同一地区的战斗中丧生，该地区已被系统性摧毁，现由以色列军队及其巴勒斯坦辅助部队独家控制。
A ceasefire was supposed to be in effect between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip since October 10, 2025. Yet more than 1,500 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed by the Israeli army since then. The army, on the other hand, has not suffered any direct losses since October 28, 2025, when one of its soldiers was killed in a clash with Palestinian militants in Rafah, in the south of the enclave. Three Israeli soldiers had already been killed on October 19, 2025, during fighting in this same area, which has been systematically destroyed and is now under the exclusive control of the Israeli army and its Palestinian auxiliaries.
这意味着一年来，占领部队的所有阵亡均源于以色列部队间的“友军误伤”或拆除建筑时建筑物过早倒塌。这更让人有理由追问：以色列军队在加沙究竟在与谁作战？那里还有两百多万妇女、男子和儿童被迫在极端条件下求生。
This means that for a year, all deaths among the occupying forces have been the result of "friendly fire" between Israeli units or the premature collapse of a building during demolition. This only makes it more legitimate to ask who the Israeli army is really fighting in Gaza, where more than two million women, men and children remain condemned to survive in extreme conditions.
2024-2025年冬季，我在加沙地带停留了一个多月，当时已被一场实质上仅由交战一方发动的“战争”所呈现的悖论深深震撼。联合国记录显示，2025年1月3日至1月10日期间，以色列实施了527起“战争行为”（包括375次空中、陆地或海上轰炸和10次地面入侵），而巴勒斯坦方面仅发射了6枚迫击炮弹。在每天平均约有50名巴勒斯坦人（多为平民）丧生的情况下，我试图用“单边战争”这一表述来形容这场极度不对等的冲突。
During my stay of more than a month in the Gaza Strip in the winter of 2024-2025, I was already struck by the paradox of a "war" waged in effect by only one of the belligerents. The United Nations recorded, from January 3 to January 10, 2025, 527 "acts of war" by Israel (including 375 air, land or sea bombardments and 10 ground incursions), compared with six Palestinian mortar shots. While about 50 Palestinians, mostly civilians, were killed on average each day, I tried to describe such a lopsided conflict with the expression "one-sided war."
但在唐纳德·特朗普施压下于2025年1月19日宣布的停火，被证明同样是单边的，因为以色列早在3月2日就重新对该飞地实施严格封锁，随后于3月18日在与美国情报机构协调下恢复大规模轰炸。2025年夏季，数千名巴勒斯坦平民死于饥荒，或是饿死，或是因疾病或因营养不良加重的伤势而死，或是在由一个与白宫关系密切的基金会混乱组织的食物分发活动中被杀。
But the ceasefire declared on January 19, 2025, under pressure from Donald Trump, proved just as one-sided, since Israel reimposed a strict blockade on the enclave as early as March 2, before resuming massive bombardments on March 18, in coordination with US intelligence. During the summer of 2025, thousands of Palestinian civilians died from famine, whether starving to death, succumbing to disease or wounds worsened by malnutrition, or being killed during chaotic food distributions run by a foundation close to the White House.
