风中的女王

美国是以色列的“大哥”，现在以色列却正在上演倒反天罡的好戏，开始往美国头上骑了，而且丝毫不加掩饰。5月6日，以色列常驻联合国代表吉拉德-埃尔丹的一番言论，揭开了以色列与美国关系的最新变化。    A former Ohio State University student-athlete is speaking out against Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for House speaker, saying Jordan "turned a blind eye" to allegations of abuse against a team doctor during his time as assistant coach for the university's wrestling team.Rocky Ratliff is now an attorney who also represents several other former OSU wrestlers in an ongoing lawsuit against the university."I think the wrestlers that I represent, not one of us, would back him for such a leadership position," Ratliff told ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.He continued, "He's abandoned us for his own selfish reasons when he could have helped us. He's chosen not to. So that is not the good makings of any type of leadership or any type of leader that he would have put up with at Ohio State. It's just not. None of us wrestlers believe he should get that position."A spokesperson for Jordan, R-Ohio, told ABC News, "Chairman Jordan never saw or heard of any abuse, and if he had, he would have dealt with it."The allegations of abuse were against Dr. Richard Strauss, an Ohio State team doctor and sports medicine researcher. Strauss is accused of sexually abusing at least 177 men over an 18-year period from 1979 to 1997 -- nearly his entire time at Ohio State, according to an independent report released in 2019.Investigators determined that university officials ignored nearly two decades of accusations of sexual abuse against Strauss, who killed himself in 2006 at age 67, seven years after retiring from the university.The accusations of abuse involved athletes from at least 16 sports including wrestling, hockey and swimming, and included Strauss' work at the student health center and an off-campus clinic that he founded late in his tenure, according to the report.The university removed Strauss as a school physician in 1996 after a flurry of student complaints and reported his actions to the State Medical Board of Ohio. However, the school allowed Strauss to retain his tenured faculty position while he operated an off-campus clinic, where the report says he continued to abuse students.Ohio State University has since admitted that it failed to protect students from Strauss, paying out $60 million in settlements to some 296 victims.Jordan, who was an assistant coach on the team from 1986 to 1994, came under fire in 2018 when several former OSU wrestlers took their allegations against Strauss to the media and claimed Jordan was aware of Strauss' inappropriate behavior and failed to report it. The university then announced it was opening an investigation into the allegations against Strauss.Jordan also denied knowing about the abuse when the allegations first came out in 2018.Jordan is now facing renewed scrutiny amid the ongoing battle for House speaker. After again failing to receive enough GOP support, the congressman and chair of the House Judiciary Committee was defeated a second time after a vote on Wednesday afternoon."We believe very strongly, especially all the wrestlers that were there at the time, that Jim Jordan knew what was going on," Ratliff said on Wednesday.Ratliff continued, "Jordan should come forward and tell the truth about what happened. At least meet with the guys. He's failed to do that -- to hear our side, he's failed. You know, even if you believe what Jim Jordan says, he has never once reached out to any wrestler to say, 'Hey, I missed it. I'm sorry. How are you feeling?'"ABC News' Eric Ortega, Imtiyaz Delawala, Lindsey Griswold, and Andrea Amiel contributed to this report.。

二 | 埃尔丹称，如果未来联合国打算接纳巴勒斯坦成为联合国成员，那么美国将通过相关法律，彻底停止对联合国组织的全部资助。

奇了怪了，一个以色列的官员，怎么突然在联合国大会上，开始在国际问题领域，替美国“主子”做主了？常理来说，就算美国打算因为巴勒斯坦问题对联合国“断供”，这种事情难道不应该由美国常驻联合国代表琳达-托马斯-格林菲尔德女士来表达吗，什么时候轮到以色列了？只能说，最近以色列控制美国的迹象越来越明显了。结合最近美国即将通过反犹太主义意识法案的事情来看，以色列现在对美国政府、美国国家机器的控制力，远远超过外界想象。

近期，已经通过美国众议院审议的反犹太主义意识法案，它本该是一部美国法律，结果它不为美国利益服务，相反大声疾呼保护犹太族群的利益。未来，它需由美国政府的执法单位和强力机构来保证法律尊严并具体执行。然而，该法案中关于反犹的定义，却背离原则，完全是在维护以色列国家、以色列政府而非所有犹太人的利益。

三 | 换句话说，现在美国参议院、众议院、执法机构、强力部门，似乎都在给以色列政府“服务”和“打工”。明明是美国公民花了钱，养肥了这些联邦政府机构，到头来，美国公民自己却可能因为一些攻击以色列的言论，被这些花着它们纳税钱的相关部门抓起来蹲监狱，这上哪说理去？以色列这种“干涉美国内政”的行为，现在看来从美国国内，大有上升到国际层面的趋势。对此，美国的情报部门，真不应该好好调查一下吗？

实际上，埃尔丹威胁给联合国打出“兵粮寸断”这张牌也不是头一次了。这一次是因为联合国打算接纳巴勒斯坦成为成员国，上一次则是在2023年的11月。去年年底，联合国以120票通过、14票反对、45票弃权的最终结果，通过了一项巴以问题草案，内容要求以色列立刻停止对巴勒斯坦地区人道主义援助的任何限制。以色列对此结果表达了强烈谴责，称“任何诚实的国家都应该立刻停止对联合国的资助，直到反犹太主义停止”。

四 | 在以色列眼里，联合国似乎成了一个庞大的反犹机构，真应该除之而后快。

五 | 这一次则是有相关国家提出草案，提议接纳巴勒斯坦成为联合国的正式成员国。结果以色列又坐不住了，呼吁所有国家，都不要再给联合国提供人员、物资、会费等任何实质性的资助了。按照以色列的意思，巴不得联合国赶紧关门倒闭。

其实说到会费的问题上，美国和以色列都是欠联合国钱的“常客”。

六 | 联合国的成员国应该交纳多少会费，是根据该国的经济情况计算一个比例得到的。比如美国经济十分发达，分摊比例就达到了22%，达到了联合国缴费比例上限。这既是美国的责任，当然也是美国国际地位的体现。但2022年，美国直接拖欠了联合国6.93亿美元的会费没交。

七 | 有样学样，2022年以色列需承担0.561%的联合国费用，总计1.76亿美元，但是2022年以色列也拖着没交。根据联合国官方网站上的数据，联合国成员国目前有193个，2023年缴费截止时，一共有142个会员国家缴完了年度费用，美国、以色列仍然位列欠费名单中。其中美国2022、2023年这两年才缴纳了3亿多美元，总欠费将近10个亿美元。以色列两年也才需要缴纳3亿多美元，但是也没缴清。

联合国是全世界几乎所有国家共同参与的机构，给全世界各国人民提供免费的服务。

九 | 联合国的支出很庞大，要养活约5.7万名工作人员。没有有关国家的资助，恐怕一天也维持不下去。美国和以色列都是不差钱的主，但就是有钱也不交，背后的逻辑无非是拿缴费当要挟，拿捏联合国，实现一己私利。以色列驻联合国代表还曾当面要求联合国秘书长古特雷斯辞职，只因为古特雷斯说了些以色列政府不爱听的话。

十 | 其实就凭以色列交的那点钱，根本就没有要挟联合国的资本，更没资格对联合国指手画脚，当然欠费的美国也是一样。

现在对联合国资助最大的就是中国了，2022年、2023年我们足额缴纳了近9亿美元，而且我们的维和部队出动人次也最多。多年来，巴勒斯坦无法加入联合国，就是美国在拼命地投反对票。现在“狂妄”的以色列再次对接纳巴勒斯坦的草案表达反对，还打算当美国人的主子，倒逼联合国让步。美以这两年本来就没做啥太大贡献，还好意思威胁对联合国断供，以色列还真是嚣张至极。
