民主有事嗎？#149 『烽火加薩』美國外交政策脫離人民利益製造全球災難 包括加薩血腥屠殺唐獎得主、哥倫比亞大學教授薩克斯(Jeffrey Sachs)在獨立媒體Common Dreams發表了一篇題為〈美國外交政策是建立在貪腐之上的騙局〉的文章，指美國外交政策讓美國陷入了一場又一場災難性的戰爭。 近日聯合國大會停火決議得到佔全球89%人口的153國支持，只有美國與人口不到世界1%的9個小國反對。美國外交政策早已置美國人民的利益於不顧，只照顧華盛頓內部精英利益：戰爭越多，軍事承包商生意越好，政客口袋就越飽滿。 這腐敗的體系不僅讓美國納稅人成為冤大頭，更在世界其他地區造成莫大災難，加薩正是眼前最慘絕人寰的例子。 巴勒斯坦約旦河西岸伯利恆是耶穌誕生的地方，今年伯利恆取消了所有聖誕慶祝活動。當地一座教堂的神父Munther Isaac神父聖誕子夜彌撒的講道在網路被瘋傳，他說：「我們巴勒斯坦人會沒事的。儘管我們遭受了巨大的打擊，但我們巴勒斯坦人終將從毀滅中重新站起來，我們作為巴勒斯坦人，一直以來就是這樣。儘管這次可能是我們長期以來遭受的最大打擊，但我們會沒事的。然而對於那些同謀的人，我為你們感到難過。你能從中恢復過來嗎？」 如果美國外交政策的基礎是貪腐，我們都需要認真思考如何不成為貪腐體系下種族滅絕的同謀甚至受害者。 想看更多快到以下平台： →Facebook →Instagram →Firstory民主有事嗎部落格 (請點連結：https://open.firstory.me/user/clnt1d9e3017q01wq2o4b2dco/platforms） 🗯參考資料🗯： 1️⃣Jeffrey Sachs：美國外交政策是建立在貪腐之上的騙局 2️⃣ 伯利恆聖誕子夜彌撒Munther Isaac神父講道：廢墟下的基督 3️⃣Pepe Escobar：葉門如何改變一切 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/clnt1d9e3017q01wq2o4b2dco/comments 感謝您的收聽！ 感謝您與我們一同探索 "民主有事嗎？"。 我們希望您在這一集中獲得了深思熟慮的見解和新的知識。 如果您喜歡我們的節目，請訂閱👍🏻、分享🔝和留下評論✉️， 這對我們非常重要，因為它將有助於更多人了解我們的內容。 我們的目標是啟發、教育和引發對社會議題的深度討論。 如果您有任何建議、意見或想要討論的主題，請隨時與我們聯絡。 謝謝您成為 "民主有事嗎？" 的一部分，我們期待著在下一集再次與您相聚。 Powered by Firstory Hosting2024-01-0238 min
