A wave of protests broke out in many countries in Europe and America, and the conflict between Palestine and Israel triggered the "butterfly effect"

  Since the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) launched a sudden attack on Israel on October 7th, local time, the fierce conflict between Israel and Hamas lasted for more than 10 days. With the protracted war and the rising casualties in the process, the impact of this conflict is rapidly breaking through the regional scope, especially to countries in Europe and America.

  In the early morning of October 18th, local time, a Jewish community center in the center of Berlin, Germany was attacked by incendiary bombs. On the same day, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the strengthening of security precautions and stressed that Germany would never tolerate attacks on Jewish institutions.

  Later that day, the Palace of Versailles Museum in the west of Paris, France, announced on social media that it was temporarily closed and evacuated for "security reasons". This is the third time that the Palace of Versailles Museum has evacuated tourists since the security alert level of anti-terrorism in France was raised to the highest level. In addition, airports in Lille, Toulouse, Lyon and other places in France were temporarily closed and evacuated on the same day because of bomb threats.

  The reason why the "security nerve" is so tense is not that France and Germany are "too cautious", but that in the past few days, several deadly attacks that are directly or indirectly related to the current conflict in Palestine and Israel have occurred in many European countries and the United States.

  A knife attack occurred in a high school in the northern French city of Alas on the 13th, killing one teacher and seriously injuring three others. After the attack, the French government decided to raise the national anti-terrorism security alert level to the highest level on the evening of the 13th. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said in the media: "There is no doubt that there is a connection between what is happening in the Middle East and the actions of the French Alas attackers."

  According to a poll released on the 15th, anxiety is spreading in France, and 85% of the respondents said they were worried about their own safety.

  On the 14th local time, an American man stabbed a 6-year-old boy and stabbed his mother in a small town on the outskirts of Chicago. The local police said that the attack was related to the religious beliefs of the victims and the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This has caused concern about hate crimes from all walks of life in the United States.

  A shooting incident occurred in Brussels, Belgium, on the evening of 16th, killing two Swedish fans and injuring another. The Belgian National Crisis Center subsequently announced that the security alert level in the Brussels region was raised to the highest level 4. A self-proclaimed murderer declared on social media that he was loyal to the extremist organization "Islamic State".

  Apart from attacks and security threats, this conflict between Hamas and Israel has once again ignited the "fuse" of protests and demonstrations in many countries in Europe and America.

  French Interior Minister Darmanin said on the 14th that since the 7th, the number of demonstrations in France has increased and 65 people have been arrested.

  The French government recently issued a new ban on holding pro-Palestinian political gatherings in the country, and the organizers of any such protests will be arrested on the grounds of public order concerns. On the day of the ban, hundreds of demonstrators held a rally in the center of Paris, and the French police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd.

  Not only France, but also disputes surrounding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are equally fierce in many European countries.

  In Berlin, the German capital, the police recently banned planned pro-Palestinian demonstrations for the risk of "anti-Semitic remarks and beautifying violence". In the center of London, the British capital, a large-scale demonstration broke out on the 14th, with thousands of participants. The demonstrators held high the Palestinian flag and slogan "Liberation of Palestine", and thousands of police officers kept order at the scene.

  The United States on the other side of the Atlantic has not escaped the "wave" of opposition and hatred between civil protests and demonstrations and different groups of people.

  On the 16th local time, hundreds of people called for a ceasefire between Palestine and Israel outside the White House, and more than 30 people were arrested for crossing obstacles to block the entrance to the White House. Prior to this, thousands of Palestinian supporters held demonstrations in Washington, and some of the demonstrators held placards such as "End the occupation" and "Cease fire immediately".

  According to the US "Political News Network" reported on the 15th, in recent days, violent crimes caused by anti-Semitism or Islamophobia are on the rise. According to the Chicago Committee on US-Islamic Relations, the number of hate messages it has received every day is even comparable to that of the September 11th incident, ranging from shouting insulting slogans against Muslims and spreading "Islamophobia" to threats of violence and gloating over the deaths of civilians in Gaza.

  On 14th, Christopher Babers, director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, admitted in his speech at the meeting of the International Association of Police Chiefs in San Diego that the threat of domestic reports in the United States has increased due to "environmental deterioration", and he called for vigilance.

  Fierce wars and persistent turmoil in Palestine and Israel may have a more lasting and profound spillover effect on European countries.

  Reuters and many other media believe that French society is being "torn apart" by the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict. On the one hand, demonstrations with different positions, such as "stand up for Israel" and "stand up for Pakistan", were staged in the city centers all over France in turn; On the other hand, political forces such as the far-left "Unyielding French Party" refused to condemn Hamas and called Hamas’s attack "an armed attack by the Palestinian army".

  At the EU level, the war between Israel and Hamas has also caused some differences.

  On the 13th local time, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to express his support for Israel in the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

  Radio France International pointed out that Ursula von der Leyen only emphasized in his speech that "Israel has the right to fight back ‘ Hamas’s cruelty ’ " But there is no mention of the humanitarian crisis facing the people of Gaza. This statement, which only supports Israel but does not emphasize Israel’s need to abide by international humanitarian law, has aroused widespread criticism within the EU.

  Borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, quickly said that as the representative of the EU’s official position, he disagreed with Ursula von der Leyen’s speech. Including Spanish, Irish, Belgian and French diplomats, also expressed their dissatisfaction with Ursula von der Leyen.

  In addition to the possible division among European countries and within the EU, the President of the European Council, Michelle, also warned on the 13th that the current conflict between Palestine and Israel may lead to more refugees from the Middle East flooding into Europe, which will not only trigger protests from anti-immigrants, but also further aggravate the tension between Palestinian and Israeli supporters in Europe.

The Historical Evolution of Ford F150 "past lives" from F-1 to F-150

[Baika Automobile Automobile History] Speaking of Ford F150 pickup truck, it is the pickup truck with the highest sales volume in the United States. Many friends say that this truck is actually a working agricultural vehicle in the United States, but it has become an imported SUV in China, and its price has also risen with the rising tide, which has attracted many people’s feelings.

This pickup truck is a "universal machine", which can haul goods, tow trailers and conquer rough terrain. Now it can be transformed into a luxury pickup SUV with space for five adults. But as early as many years ago, it was naturally not like this. The historical process of the F-150 was very long, starting in 1948 after the Second World War. At that time, it was not known as the familiar title of F-150, but the foundation was made of steel. Today, let’s take a look at the historical evolution of Ford F150!

▼ The first generation: 1948 -1952

At first, it was just an ordinary truck F-1. At that time, Ford’s truck grade was very simple. F-1 occupied half the company’s tonnage, followed by three-quarters of the F-2 and a strong one-ton F-3. At that time, pickup trucks were trucks, providing drivers and passengers with seats, manual gearboxes, in-line six-cylinder or V8 engine choices, and other functions.

▼ The second generation: 1953 -1956

In the second generation, Ford expanded the pickup truck production line to the familiar mode, and the F-1 became the F-100. The redesigned pickup truck has a longer hood and an integrated body panel. In addition, the automatic gearbox option was introduced for the first time, and a decorative configuration with color keys was provided.

▼ The Third Generation: 1957-1960

In the third generation, F-series pickup trucks also started from this generation, canceling many curve designs, preferring straight-line hard-core design language, and introducing a flat-style bed. The interior cab space has become larger, and four-wheel drive has been introduced for the first time.

▼ Fourth Generation: 1961 -1966

When the fourth generation came, Ford made a decision to make the fourth generation F-series pickup an integrated design, with its cab and chassis as a single part on the traditional frame, but this did not last long. In addition, the double I-beam front suspension has served Ford for many years, and power up steering and brakes have also become optional items, making pickup trucks easier in daily driving.

▼ Fifth Generation: 1967 -1972

The fifth generation F-100 pickup truck has increased in size, including the wheelbase of the car body and the space size of the cab. In addition, the upgraded interior and the optional air conditioner have also made buyers pay attention to the comfort configuration in the car. In terms of power, the fifth generation F-100 pickup truck is equipped with some large engine systems.

▼ Sixth Generation: 1973 -1979

In the sixth generation, we finally welcomed the F150, which was launched as a heavy-duty half-ton pickup truck of Ford in 1975. This generation has also seen the advent of Ford’s extended Supercab model, which further shows that trucks are developing from work-based vehicles to home machine models.

Seventh generation: 1980 -1986

Although the F150 had arrived in the sixth generation, the F-100 actually lasted until the 1980s, when it was discontinued in 1984. It is reported that the F-series has consolidated its position as the best-selling truck in the United States, and made it a daily comfortable means of transportation with a brand-new body and chassis.

▼ Eighth Generation: 1987 -1991

Since 1987, the F-150 has been redesigned based on the European theme, with smoother edges and softer body lines. The F-150 regained power under the hood, providing 210 horsepower in the optional 5.8-liter V8. The rear wheel anti-lock brake also appeared on the F series for the first time.

▼ Ninth Generation: 1992 -1997

The ninth generation F-150 has been redesigned more comprehensively, but this generation of products has also seen a wealth of optional configurations such as leather interiors and Flareside beds. It also produced the performance-oriented SVT F-150 Lightning model in 1993, with an adjusted suspension and a 240-horsepower version of the 5.8-liter V8.

▼ 10th Generation: 1997 -2004

In the tenth generation, there are many things we should pay attention to. After a comprehensive redesign, the size of the F-150 has been increased, and at the same time, the 5.0-liter V8 and the double I-beam front suspension have been abandoned. In addition, this generation of pickup trucks also marks the departure of the body style between the F-150 and the heavy variant. The F-250 and F-350 adopt the side window design that is still notched in today’s F series. In terms of high performance, the last SVT Lightning truck withdrew from the market in 2004, pumping 380 horsepower from the supercharged V8.

▼ 11th Generation: 2005 -2008

In the 11th generation F150 in 2005, we saw a bigger and rougher design language, and the whole vehicle design also drew more design inspiration from Super Duty truck. After the introduction of King Ranch template, the luxury of pickup truck came to life, and this pickup truck also had a strong drag and drag load capacity.

▼ 12th Generation: 2009 -2014

For the 11th generation, the 12th generation has undergone a relatively minor readjustment. Raptor has powerful V8 power and high-stroke suspension with soft suspension, aiming at sprinting the rugged and difficult path road conditions.

▼ 13th Generation: 2015 -2020

In 2015, the F-150 ushered in a major update, including the extensive use of aluminum in the body to reduce the weight of the vehicle. Although some aluminum sneaked into Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado, it surprised Ford’s competitors.

▼ 14th generation: 2021-?

The 14th generation is still writing the story of this legendary and classic model, and it will be the first pickup truck model to provide power system. Since 1948, it must have come a long way, accompanied by the cargo bed in the back and the blue oval Ford badge in the front.

As the top ten best-selling cars in the United States, it has won the title of the best car in the United States for many years, and its sales volume has surpassed that of any other large truck brand. The classic story of Ford F150 continues to be written. As a fan of F150 pickup truck, you will certainly continue to look forward to its wonderful.
