近日,美以之间的“口角”很有意思。美国总统拜登称,以军若攻拉法,美国将暂停对以军援。

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan on Saturday inaugurated the 2,115-megawatt Julius Nyerere Hydropower Plant, a landmark project expected to strengthen electricity supply and accelerate industrial and economic development.
Hassan inaugurated the plant in Rufiji District in Coast Region, saying the new generation capacity should produce measurable gains in manufacturing, trade, mining, modern agriculture, public services, investment and employment.
The nine-unit facility now accounts for nearly half of electricity dispatched to Tanzania's national grid, significantly improving reliability and security of supply, she said.
"This project has demonstrated Tanzania's capabilities. We must now harness that capacity to advance other strategic projects and build a strong, self-reliant nation," Hassan said.
Built with the participation of China's Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) and Dongfang Electric Corporation, the plant has a total installed capacity of 2,115 megawatts, Zhang Rui, the project manager with PowerChina, said.
PowerChina undertook the construction of the main works, including the main dam, the stilling basin, the water conveyance system, the diversion tunnels and the metal structures, as well as the overall engineering design and the supporting facilities, Zhang said.
Tan Jin, the project manager with Dongfang Electric, noted that they supplied all nine hydro-turbine generator units, main inlet valves and other complete sets of electromechanical equipment, and carried out their installation, commissioning and trial operation.
During construction, the China-involved construction work created about 14,000 jobs for local residents. Thousands of Tanzanians received professional skills training from Chinese engineers in areas such as welding, steel fixing, carpentry, heavy machinery operation and surveying, helping build a stronger local workforce, according to the two managers.
The project is also expected to improve electricity supply for households and public services, strengthen Tanzania's role in the regional energy market in East Africa, and provide reliable energy support for regional connectivity and socioeconomic development, said Humphrey Moshi, an economics professor at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡随即回应:即便用指甲,以色列也要打下去。
而以色列驻美国大使赫尔佐格明确指出,拜登言论“向哈马斯和以色列的地区敌人发出了错误信号”。以色列舆论界甚至向美国提出四个“必须”:美国必须重新评估目前的做法,并考虑其外交政策将带来更广泛的后果;美国必须澄清立场,使其战略目标与加沙冲突现状协调一致;美国必须向以色列提供军援,而且必须清晰、持续地发出与以色列团结一致的信号。有以色列媒体认为,美国继续军援可以向世人证明,与美国结盟不用担心美国内部政治风向变化,相互支持原则是同盟基础,对这一原则的任何偏离将带来无法预计的战场后果。
这样的措辞不像提要求,更像“教训”美国。而且,并不令人意外的是,美国听从了这一“教训”。有以色列媒体称,美国认为“有理由对以色列违反国际法的行为作出评估,但不会停止军援”。
第二,以色列敢于强硬对美,源于两国彼此成全,彼此依赖,形成了一个共生体。一方面,以色列凭借美国援助,占领大片阿拉伯领土;另一方面,正是以色列在军事上压倒阿拉伯对手,使美国得以将冷战对手苏联挤出中东,成就了美国的中东霸主地位。
今天的美以口角与1981年的一幕异曲同工,只是当年更为劲爆。1981年以色列议会通过戈兰高地法案,旨在永久占领在1967年夺取的这一叙利亚国土。美国为了显示公正,表示要“惩罚”一下以色列。所谓“惩罚”也就是暂停军售之类,但利库德集团首任主席、时任以色列总理贝京立即召见美国大使,当面宣读声明:“惩罚以色列,这话什么意思?难道我们是美国的仆从国?难道我们是香蕉共和国?难道我们只是14岁的少年,因行为不当而要挨巴掌?美国无权‘惩罚以色列’,我尤其要对这一措辞提出抗议。”他还意味深长地说,以色列只是向美国要求军事援助,并未要求美军为以色列流血。话没到,意思到了:正是以色列军人流血,成就了美国的中东地位。
