和平活动人士安德烈亚斯·赛弗特警告称，拉斐尔公司的合作以及奥斯纳布吕克工厂可能向以色列出口产品，违反了德国的国际义务和本国武器出口规则。批评者指出，奥斯纳布吕克长期以来被誉为“和平之城”，但这项交易将大众汽车工厂与以色列的军工产业挂钩，危及这一声誉。德国反对党左翼党表示，将在政治和公共层面反对大众汽车将一家汽车工厂改作以色列武器生产基地的计划。
Peace campaigner Andreas Seifert warns Rafael cooperation and possible exports from Osnabruck plant to Israel violates Germany’s international obligations, its own arms-export rules Critics say Osnabruck has long been the 'City of Peace,' but deal risks that reputation by tying Volkswagen’s car plant to Israel’s sta Germany’s opposition Left Party said it would fight politically and publicly against Volkswagen’s plans to repurpose a car factory as a production site for Israeli weapons.
“我们将在政治和公共层面反对这一发展，”左翼党下萨克森州联合主席托尔本·彼得斯对阿纳多卢通讯社表示。
“We will stand against this development politically and publicly,” Thorben Peters, co-chair of the Left Party in Lower Saxony state, told Anadolu.
“我们要求相关协议完全透明，反对从民用工业转向武器生产，并将与员工和工会合作，推进民用工业政策。”大众汽车于9月初宣布，将把奥斯纳布吕克工厂出售给下萨克森州和总部位于特拉维夫的投资者奥雷利乌斯资本。
“We demand full transparency about the agreements, oppose the shift from civilian industry to arms production, and will work with employees and unions to advance a civilian industrial policy.”Volkswagen announced in early September that it was selling the Osnabruck plant to the state of Lower Saxony and Tel Aviv-based investor Aurelius Capital.
与以色列拉斐尔防务公司的初步合作项目被介绍为该工厂的首个工业支柱。
An initial project with Israel’s Rafael defense company was presented as the plant's first industrial anchor.
左翼党驳斥了大众汽车的说法，即出售工厂并将其转向防务生产是挽救就业的唯一途径。
The Left Party has rejected Volkswagen’s claim that selling the factory and shifting it to defense production was the only way to save jobs.
“员工被告知他们必须在失业和武器生产之间做出选择。我们不接受这种虚假的二选一。
“Employees are being told they have to choose between unemployment and arms production. We do not accept that false alternative.
“好的工业政策创造民用就业岗位。它不会让和平取决于下一笔武器订单。”大众汽车备受争议的计划。大众汽车于3月确认，在决定到2027年夏季逐步停止该工厂的汽车生产后，正在与多家防务承包商就奥斯纳布吕克厂区进行洽谈。
“Good industrial policy creates civilian jobs. It does not make peace depend on the next arms order.”Volkswagen’s controversial plans Volkswagen confirmed in March that it was talking to several defense contractors about the Osnabruck site after deciding to phase out car-making there by summer 2027.
与以色列国有防务公司合作的计划引发了当地和平组织、反对派政客以及部分劳工运动长达数月的抗议。
Plans for cooperation with Israel’s state-owned defense firm drew months of protest from local peace groups, opposition politicians and parts of the labor movement.
据德国媒体报道，7月，大众汽车第三大股东卡塔尔主权财富基金阻止了最初的提案。
In July, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, Volkswagen’s third-largest shareholder, blocked the initial proposal, according to German media reports.
大众汽车管理层随后提出了一种新的所有权结构，使这家汽车制造商脱离了与拉斐尔先进防务系统公司（Rafael）的直接合作关系。
Volkswagen’s management then advanced a new ownership structure that took the carmaker out of a direct partnership with Rafael.
根据9月份的条款，奥雷利乌斯（Aurelius）将持有多数股权，下萨克森州持有少数股权，而拉斐尔公司将作为工业合作伙伴而非买方保留在项目中。
Under the September terms, Aurelius would take a majority stake and Lower Saxony a minority stake, with Rafael remaining the industrial partner rather than the buyer.
彼得斯称这种伙伴关系“尤其成问题”，并指出拉斐尔公司是以色列武装部队的核心供应商。
Peters called that partnership “especially problematic,” noting that Rafael is a central supplier to the Israeli armed forces.
他说：“在以色列政府及其在加沙地带的军事行动面临严重战争罪指控及其他违反国际人道法行为的背景下，这种伙伴关系释放出了一个破坏性的政治信号。”国际法院和联合国已就以色列在加沙的残酷战争展开了诉讼程序。
“Against the background of serious accusations of war crimes and other violations of international humanitarian law against the Israeli government and its military conduct in the Gaza Strip, this partnership sends a devastating political signal,” he said. International courts and the UN have opened proceedings over Israel’s brutal war in Gaza.
加沙卫生部的数据（也被联合国引用）显示，已有超过74,000名巴勒斯坦人丧生，其中包括超过32,000名妇女和儿童。
Gaza’s Health Ministry, in figures also cited by the UN, says more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed, including more than 32,000 women and children.
国际法院一直在审理南非针对以色列提起的种族灭绝诉讼，而国际刑事法院则于2024年对以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡发出逮捕令，指控其在加沙犯下战争罪和反人类罪。
The International Court of Justice has been hearing South Africa’s genocidal case against Israel, while the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity commited in Gaza.
彼得斯警告称，在这些指控成立的情况下，下萨克森州不应与一家以色列国有军火公司建立合资企业。
Peters warned that Lower Saxony should not enter a joint enterprise with a state-owned Israeli arms firm while those accusations stood.
他说：“任何在政治和经济上与一家为以色列武装部队提供装备的公司捆绑得如此紧密的人，也必须为此承担政治责任。”
“Anyone who binds themselves so closely, politically and economically, to a company that equips the Israeli armed forces also bears political responsibility for that,” he said.
和平组织反对转向武器生产。据当地媒体报道，该项目涉及为“铁穹”导弹防御系统制造配套组件。
Peace groups reject shift to arms production According to local media reports, the project involves manufacturing support components for the Iron Dome missile defense system.
活动人士强调，此举违背了奥斯纳布吕克作为“和平之城”的身份，该身份源于其在1648年《威斯特伐利亚和约》中的作用。这些协议结束了三十年战争，并有助于塑造现代国际法。最活跃的组织之一是“行动呼吁——停止军火贸易”。
Activists have highlighted that the latest move goes against Osnabruck’s “City of Peace” identity, rooted in its role in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Those agreements ended the Thirty Years’ War and helped shape modern international law. Among the most vocal groups is Action Outcry – Stop the Arms Trade.
该组织协调人安德烈亚斯·赛弗特告诉阿纳多卢通讯社，该组织对德国的所有军火出口持批判态度，并反对向危机地区或被指控侵犯人权的国家出口军火。
The group’s coordinator, Andreas Seifert, told Anadolu that it takes a critical view of all German arms exports and rejects shipments to crisis regions or to states accused of violating human rights.
“在我们看来，必须拒绝将奥斯纳布吕克的大众汽车工厂改造成军火制造设施，因为这势必导致该厂参与军事物资出口。”他说。
“In our view, the transformation of the Volkswagen plant in Osnabruck from a civilian automotive factory into an arms manufacturing facility must be rejected, as it will foreseeably lead to involvement in the export of military goods,” he said.
“这对工厂或城市来说都不是一种可持续的模式。”赛弗特表示，该组织也对选择合作伙伴表示反对。
“This is not a sustainable model for the plant or the city.”Seifert said the group also objected to the choice of partner.
“我们还深感担忧的是，这一项目选定的合作伙伴——以色列国防公司拉斐尔——为以色列在加沙的战争供应武器和军事装备。”他说。
“We are also deeply concerned that the chosen partner for this project, the Israeli defense company Rafael, supplies weapons and military equipment for Israel’s war in Gaza,” he said.
他补充称，“行动呼吁”长期以来主张，在加沙战争、约旦河西岸占领以及对伊朗战争期间向以色列运送军火，违反德国的国际义务和德国自身的军火出口限制。赛弗特还批评了政府对这一项目提供的支持。
He added that Action Outcry has long argued that arms shipments to Israel amid the war in Gaza, the occupation of the West Bank and the war with Iran violate Germany’s international obligations and its own arms-export restrictions. Seifert also criticized state support for the project.
“在我们看来，必须澄清德国对以色列军队（以军）在加沙实施的犯罪所应承担的责任，并据此作出适当后果。”他说。
“In our view, Germany’s share of responsibility for the crimes committed by the Israeli military (IDF) in Gaza must be clarified, and appropriate consequences must follow,” he said.
“考虑到这些因素，与以色列军火公司合作——并动用国家资金为其提供支持——根本无法接受。”
“Given these considerations, partnering with an Israeli arms company — and supporting it with state funds — is simply unacceptable.”
