Vertaling van "people which suffered so much in previous centuries should now inflict " (Engels → Frans) :

I resent the idea that we should be forced not to ask why a people which suffered so much in previous centuries should now inflict such suffering upon the Palestinian people today.
Je suis contre l’idée que nous soyons contraints de ne pas demander pourquoi un peuple qui a tant souffert au cours des siècles passés doit aujourd’hui infliger de telles souffrances à la population palestinienne.

They do not, however, explain why a people that suffered so much in the 20th century should now inflict so much suffering on another people in this one.
Elles n’expliquent pas, cependant, pourquoi un peuple qui a tant souffert au XX siècle devrait désormais infliger tant de souffrances à un autre peuple au siècle présent.
