真的假的

【轉貼】～ 教宗良十四世痛批川普在白宮橢圓形辦公室舉行福音派支持戰爭的祈禱會 ——「戰爭不是神聖的；只有和平才是神聖的！」 首位美國籍教宗 良十四世（Pope Leo XIV） 今天在梵蒂岡發表強烈譴責，直接批評那些聚集在白宮橢圓形辦公室、為 唐納德·川普（Donald Trump） 按手禱告並「祝福」其對伊朗發動未經授權戰爭的基督教錫安主義領袖。 這位出生於芝加哥的教宗在一段動人的呼籲中宣告： 「戰爭不是神聖的；只有和平才是神聖的，因為和平是上帝的旨意。」 他多次重複這句話以強調立場，並將這場衝突稱為一次**「不道德的攻擊」**。他指出，戰爭已經奪走了美國士兵的生命，也造成伊朗平民（包括女學生）的死亡，並有可能把整個地區——甚至世界——拖入更大的災難。 教宗說： 「如果世界對這個呼籲充耳不聞，我們相信上帝仍會聽見我們的祈禱，以及如此多苦難者的哀聲。」 他呼籲世界各地的宗教領袖一起回應人民對和平的呼喊，為那些沒有聲音的窮人、流離失所者，以及在戰火破壞中受苦的地球本身發聲。 他強調： 「我們必須勇於追求和平。戰爭帶來一堆堆痛苦的死亡、破壞與流離失所，這一切必須停止。」 教宗把當前局勢描述為一場道德危機：各國政府應該傾聽受苦者的呼聲，而不是那些把暴力神聖化的狂熱分子。 這番回應發生在一些基督教錫安主義人士公開為川普祈禱之後——這些人與支持川普「末世預言」論述的福音派網絡關係密切。他們在白宮橢圓形辦公室為總統按手祈禱，並把對伊朗的轟炸描繪為神的旨意與聖經預言的實現。 教宗的話語直接反駁了這種敘事： 任何戰爭都不是神聖的，不論它如何被包裝成宗教語言。 這位來自芝加哥的教宗，以及他一貫反對川普政策的立場，使這次批評更具道德分量，也凸顯了國際社會對此局勢日益增長的憂慮——包括缺乏國會授權、人道代價，以及在沒有明確終局策略下的危險升級。 在川普對更多陣亡士兵輕描淡寫地表示「事情就是這樣」之際，他的能源主管也承認這場戰爭將成為一場長期的石油爭奪戰；而天主教會領袖則呼籲降溫局勢，並向世界發出挑戰：在流血與和平之間作出選擇。 當連教宗都公開譴責這場戰爭為不道德，並認為這些「祝福」是錯誤的時候，支持戰爭的政治運動在道德上的破產便暴露無遺。

Professor Ling-Chi Wang of UC Berkeley: I think the only way to describe what is happening to TSMC 台積电 in Hsinchu, Taiwan is to call it the biggest international heist, in broad daylight, of Taiwan’s biggest and most valuable manufacturing facility and intellectual property theft, estimated to be worth 4% of Taiwan’s GNP, considered by the people of Taiwan to be their 护国神山, ever undertaken in human history by the U.S. government. The people of Taiwan are stunned by the magnitude and speed of the heist and the massive airlifting of the manufacturing facility, its most advance know-hows, and top scientists and engineers and their families to Phoenix, Arizona, commencing in December. The U.S. is paying billions to relocate and transport the company to the U.S. The scale of intellectual robbery is unmatched by other large-scale international robberies I know of. The U.S. justified the robbery by declaring it a matter of “national security” of the U.S., based on the assumption that China will sooner or later seize Taiwan, thus depriving the U.S. and the world of its indispensable products. What is even more stunning and insulting to the people of Taiwan is the conspicuous absence of any meaningful protest by the Taiwan government of Tsai Ing-wen. In fact, the government is aid and abetting the robbery. Professor John V Walsh, MD, in San Francisco: First the US frightens them with threats of war and turning Taiwan into a porcupine bristling with American weapons. No one wants to live in Ukraine 2.0. Then the US offers an "escape hatch" to Arizona where these Taiwanese may find the US anti-China rhetoric a bit much to stomach - and no distinctions made between Taiwanese and Chinese by street toughs. Disgusting.
