耶路撒冷问题文化探源——对巴以新争端的思考

Exploring the Cultural Roots of the Jerusalem Issue

种种迹象表明,随着巴勒斯坦和以色列双方有关定居点和难民等棘手问题的逐步解决,耶路撒冷归属这一敏感问题将会成为巴以冲突中的新焦点。对耶路撒冷的文化探溯旨在说明:要想真正实现巴以和平,就必须合情合理地解决耶路撒冷问题。要想圆满地解决此问题,既要正视耶路撒冷复杂和动荡的政治历史,还应尊重耶路撒冷人特殊的宗教文化情感,更要兼顾阿拉伯和犹太两个民族的现实利益。要想尽快解决此问题,单靠美国、以色列和阿拉伯国家不行,还必须寻求欧盟、中国、俄罗斯等国际社会多方合作,而非美国单方主导的解决模式。中东和平问题,始于耶路撒冷,还会终于耶路撒冷。

With gradual resolution of such tough issues as the settlements and refugees between Palestine and Israel, various signs indicate that the sensitive issue of the belonging of Jerusalem will become the new focus in Palestinian-Israeli disputes. To explore the cultural roots of the Jerusalem issue intends to demonstrate that the true Palestinian-Israeli peace won't be realized unless the Jerusalem issue is resolved fairly and reasonably. The satisfactory settlement of the issue calls for facing up to the complicated and turbulent political history in Jerusalem, respecting special religious and cultural feelings of the Jerusalem people, and giving attentions to real interests of the Arabs and Jewry as well. The soon resolution of the issue won't do with sole dependence on the U.S., Israel and the Arab states. It also requires multilateral cooperation with China, Russia, the European Union and other international communities. It's not the U.S.-dominated mode of resolution. In a word, the Middle East peace issue will close in Jerusalem where it originates.
