A | KHIAM, Lebanon -- A Reuters videographer killed in Israeli shelling of southern Lebanon was laid to rest in his hometown Saturday in a funeral procession attended by hundreds of people.Draped in a Lebanese flag, Issam Abdallah’s body was carried on a stretcher through the streets of the southern town of Khiam, from his family’s home to the local cemetery.Dozens of journalists and Lebanese lawmakers attended the funeral.Abdallah was killed Friday evening near the village of Alma al-Shaab in south Lebanon when an Israeli shell landed on a gathering of international journalists covering exchange of fire along the border between Israeli troops and members of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group. The Lebanese army said in a statement Saturday that Israeli troops fired a shell the day before hitting a civilian car used by journalists killing Abdallah and wounding others. The army said that other areas in south Lebanon at the time were targeted by an Israeli helicopter gunship and artillery, including the outskirts of the villages of Marwaheen, Kfar Chouba, Aita al-Shaab and Odaisseh.Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry asked Beirut’s mission to the United Nations to file a complaint against Israel over Friday’s shelling, calling it a “flagrant violation and a crime against freedom of opinion and press.” The statement was carried by the state-run National News Agency.Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht told The Associated Press in Jerusalem on Saturday, “We are aware of the incident with the Reuters journalist and we are looking into it.”Hecht did not confirm that the journalists had been hit by Israeli shells, but called the incident “tragic,” adding, “we’re very sorry for his death.”Reuters said in a statement that two of its journalists, Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, were wounded in the same shelling, while Qatar’s Al-Jazeera TV said its cameraman Elie Brakhya and reporter Carmen Joukhadar, were wounded as well.France’s international news agency, Agence France-Presse, said two of its journalists were also wounded. They were identified as photographer Christina Assi, and video journalist Dylan Collins.AFP reported Saturday that Assi was in need of blood transfusions at the American University Medical Center in Beirut where she was hospitalized. The Lebanon-Israel border has been witnessing sporadic acts of violence since Saturday's surprise attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas on southern Israel.Journalists from various countries have been flocking to Lebanon to monitor the situation.。

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。

B | 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”。

C | 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”。

如何看待这一似乎不可思议却又屡见不鲜的套路？一个基本共识是，美国存在强大的犹太院外集团，操控了美国参众两院。然而，至少还有两个原因。

第一，以色列知道，美国的批评只是做戏。做给国际看——美国还是讲人道主义的，做给国内看——民主党还是考虑阿拉伯裔选民感情的。

D | 但主要是做给大选年国内选民看，一旦大选结束，执政者无论是谁，护以援以必将一如既往。一般来说，以色列不会对美国的批评言论过多关注，但如美国演戏过头，尤其站在道德高地指责以色列时，以色列也会适度提醒美国：咱谁也别装高尚。这回美国指责以色列涉嫌杀戮过甚，以色列反问，二战时盟军德累斯顿大轰炸是怎么回事？以色列深知美国舍卒保车、出卖盟友的历史，所以会适时以此敲打美国。

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。
