早上好,欢迎来到我们的英国政治实时博客。扎克·波兰斯基(Zack Polanski)在霍本和圣潘克拉斯(Holborn and St Pancras)的一场犹太社区竞选集会上宣布自己是一名反犹太复国主义者,并遭到嘘声。绿党领导人正作为候选人参加下个月的补选。

Morning, and welcome to our UK politics live blog. Zack Polanski declared himself an anti-Zionist and faced heckling at a Jewish community hustings in Holborn and St Pancras where the Green party leader is standing as a candidate in next month’s byelection.

他表示,犹太复国主义——即建立犹太国家的运动——是一种种族主义,因为它涉及巴勒斯坦人的流离失所和种族灭绝。昨晚他的言论遭到台下观众的嘘声。“我是一名反犹太复国主义者。我认为国家一直都是观念,我认为事情随时间而改变,”他说。

He said Zionism – the movement for a Jewish state –was a form of racism because it involved the displacement and genocide of Palestinians. His remarks were met with boos from the audience last night. I’m an anti-Zionist. I think countries have always been ideas and I think things change over time,” he said.

身为犹太人的波兰斯基表示,批评以色列政府和对巴勒斯坦土地的占领并非反犹太主义。“我们需要团结起来认识到,当我们称其为反犹太主义时,我们正在让犹太人民变得更加不安全,”他补充说。

Polanski, who is Jewish, said criticising the Israeli government and the occupation of Palestinian land was not antisemitic. “We need to come together to recognise that when we call that antisemitic, we are making ourselves as Jewish people less safe,” he added.

正值绿党筹备年度会议之际,党员们即将就一项将犹太复国主义定性为官方政策中种族主义形式的动议进行投票。

As the Green party prepares for its annual conference, members are due to vote on a motion to declare Zionism as a form of racism in official policy.

正如我的同事彼得·沃克(Peter Walker)上周报道的那样,党内一些人担心如果该动议通过,可能会疏远犹太支持者:一位绿党官员表示,许多忠于党领导层的积极分子可能不会出席秋季会议,因为会议恰好在霍本和圣潘克拉斯补选投票前一周举行。波兰斯基希望在这次补选中从工党手中夺走基尔·斯塔默(Keir Starmer)腾出的旧席位,这可能会为其他人强行通过该动议留出更多空间。

As my colleague Peter Walker reported last week, some in the party fear it could alienate Jewish supporters if it passed: A Green official said that many activists loyal to the party’s leadership might not be at the autumn conference because it takes place a week before voting in the Holborn and St Pancras byelection, in which Polanski hopes to take Keir Starmer’s old seat from Labour, potentially leaving more scope for others to push through the motion.

“风险在于,如果动议照此通过,我们将把自己与英国犹太社区疏远,他们当中很多人并不是现任以色列政府的死忠粉,”一位绿党消息人士表示。

“The risk is that if it passes as it is we are alienating ourselves from the Jewish community in the UK, a lot of whom are not big fans of the current Israeli government,” a Green source said.

他们补充说,还有一个与之并行的担忧是党内分裂。一些绿党积极分子在泄露的WhatsApp聊天记录中警告称,波兰斯基“正艰难地克服犹太复国主义的灌输”。

There was, they added, a parallel worry about internal splits, with some Green activists in leaked WhatsApp chats warning that Polanski was “struggling to overcome Zionist indoctrination”.
