纽约市市长佐兰·马姆达尼公布了一项耗资数百万美元的打击反犹主义战略,此举遭到多位犹太领袖的批评。他们指出,这一声明试图转移人们对市长本人言论的关注,同时回避了现代反犹敌意的一个核心根源:对以色列和锡安主义的妖魔化。
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a multimillion-dollar strategy to combat antisemitism, drawing criticism from prominent Jewish leaders who described the announcement as an attempt to deflect attention from the mayor’s own rhetoric while avoiding one of the defining sources of modern anti-Jewish hostility: the demonization of Israel and Zionism.
马姆达尼宣布,其政府推出了全美首个专门致力于打击反犹主义的市政战略,并宣称犹太裔纽约人“应当在这个美国最具有犹太特色的城市里感到被珍视和庆祝”。市长援引纽约警察局的数据指出,尽管犹太居民约占该市人口的12%,但反犹事件却占已确认仇恨犯罪的半数以上。
Mamdani announced what his administration called the nation’s first municipal strategy dedicated to combating antisemitism, declaring that Jewish New Yorkers "should feel cherished and celebrated in the most Jewish city in America." The mayor cited New York Police Department statistics showing that although Jewish residents constitute approximately 12% of the city’s population, antisemitic incidents account for more than half of its confirmed hate crimes.
独家:以色列总统赫尔佐格抨击马姆达尼,赞扬特朗普,并对伊朗发出警告 “这不仅不可接受,更是我们所有人都负有责任去改变的事情,”马姆达尼表示,“市政厅将率先垂范。”其政府表示,将增加2600万美元的仇恨犯罪预防资金,较上一年度增长超过800%。该计划包括向致力于预防仇恨暴力的社区组织拨款640万美元,并将重启一项于2024年解散的跨部门安全与基础设施倡议。
EXCLUSIVE: ISRAELI PRESIDENT HERZOG BLASTS MAMDANI, PRAISES TRUMP, SOUNDS ALARM ON IRAN "This is not only unacceptable, it’s something we all have an obligation to change," Mamdani said. "And City Hall will lead the way." His administration said it is increasing hate crime prevention funding by $26 million, an increase of more than 800% from the previous year. The plan includes $6.4 million for community organizations working to prevent hate violence and would restart an interagency security and infrastructure initiative disbanded in 2024.
该市还承诺向皇后区大屠杀纪念花园拨款200万美元,向布鲁克林新犹太文化中心拨款250万美元,并为犹太机构提供扩展的教育、举报资源及安全支持。
The city also pledged $2 million for the Queens Holocaust Memorial Garden and $2.5 million for the Brooklyn Center for New Jewish Culture, alongside expanded education, reporting resources and security support for Jewish institutions.
资金的分配方式也引发了审视。曼哈顿上东区基哈拉特·耶舒伦会堂的高级拉比海姆·斯坦梅茨指出,专门用于安全的资金仅有100万美元,而数百万美元将通过社区倡议进行分配。
在首次否决相关提案后,曼达尼陷入了困境——这一否决行为破坏了双方为打击反犹太主义而共同努力所取得的成果;曼达尼对此表示“非常失望”。
The way that money would be distributed also drew scrutiny. Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz, senior rabbi of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, said that only $1 million is dedicated specifically to security while millions more would be directed through community initiatives.
“所有这些资金纯粹都是用于政治目的的(即用于满足某些政治集团的利益)。”斯坦梅茨对福克斯新闻数字频道(Fox News Digital)表示:“除了用于安保的100万美元外,其余资金都被用于那些只会让他的支持者受益的社区项目。”那些接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的犹太领袖们对安保投入表示欢迎,但他们认为,仅靠物理保护是无法改变当前这种环境的:在当前形势下,越来越多的犹太人感到被迫与以色列保持距离。
MAMDANI IN THE HOT SEAT AFTER FIRST VETO DERAILS BIPARTISAN EFFORT TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM: 'DISAPPOINTED' "All of this money is pure pork barrel politics," Steinmetz told Fox News Digital. "Outside of a million dollars in security, it is all being spent on community initiatives that will reward his supporters." The Jewish leaders who spoke with Fox News Digital welcomed the security investments but argued that physical protection alone cannot address an environment in which Jews increasingly feel pressured to distance themselves from Israel.
从曼哈顿的东区到西区,三位著名的拉比都表达了同样的担忧:在制定这项反犹太主义策略的过程中,他们中没有一个人收到过市长或其政府的任何联系,尽管他们共同领导着该市一些规模最大的犹太社区。
From Manhattan’s East Side to its West Side, three prominent rabbis shared another concern: Not one had been contacted by the mayor or his administration while the strategy was being developed, despite collectively leading some of the borough’s largest Jewish congregations.
这些担忧引发了关于该策略制定过程的基本疑问:究竟是哪些犹太领袖和机构参与了策略的制定?政府是如何决定资金使用方向的?又是如何选择接受资金的组织的?福克斯新闻数字频道向市长办公室提出了这些问题,以及斯坦梅茨对资金分配过程的批评,但在本文发布时仍未收到任何回复。
Those concerns raise basic questions about how the strategy was constructed: which Jewish leaders and institutions helped shape it, how did the administration decide where the funding would go, and how were organizations selected to receive it? Fox News Digital asked those questions, along with Steinmetz’s criticism of the funding process, to the mayor’s office but had not received a response at the time of publication.
市长的策略确实承认了自10月7日以来反犹太主义情绪的加剧,并计划加强大屠杀教育,但并未直接解决犹太学生在大学校园中遇到的敌对行为问题,也没有探讨那些反以色列的活动是如何演变成反犹太主义骚扰和恐吓行为的。接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的这三位拉比指出,这种疏漏是该策略的重大缺陷。
The mayor's strategy acknowledges rising antisemitism since Oct. 7 and expands Holocaust education, but does not directly address the hostility Jewish students have experienced on college campuses or examine when anti-Israel activism crosses into antisemitic harassment and intimidation. The three rabbis interviewed by Fox News Digital identified that omission as a significant weakness in the city’s strategy.
曼哈顿斯蒂芬·怀斯自由犹太教堂(Stephen Wise Free Synagogue)的首席拉比、同时也是纽约拉比委员会(New York Board of Rabbis)主席的阿米埃尔·赫希(Ammiel Hirsch)表示,该策略忽略了一个他认为导致当代反犹太主义现象的核心因素。
Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, senior rabbi of Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in Manhattan and president of the New York Board of Rabbis, said the plan omits what he considers the central driver of contemporary antisemitism.
校园反犹太主义现象已超越学生抗议活动,蔓延至课堂美国反诽谤联盟(ADL)警告称:“如果这份报告的目的是打击和减少反犹太主义,那么它却忽略了当代反犹太主义的核心根源——即对以色列的极端厌恶。”赫希在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时说道。
他指出,这种敌意不仅针对以色列这个国家,还针对“犹太复国主义理念”以及“以色列存在的权利”和“犹太人民在以色列这片土地上行使自决权的权利”。
CAMPUS ANTISEMITISM EXTENDS BEYOND STUDENT PROTESTS AND INTO CLASSROOMS, ADL WARNS "If the purpose here is to combat and reduce antisemitism, the plan omits the central driver of contemporary antisemitism, which is an obsessive loathing of Israel," Hirsch told Fox News Digital. That hostility, he said, is directed "not only" toward the state of Israel but toward "the Zionist idea, the right of Israel to exist, the right of the Jewish people to self-determination in the land of Israel."
“撰写一份长达30页的报告却完全不提及以色列这个国家,更不用说那些由市长本人煽动的恶劣反犹太主义言论了,这其实是在回避问题本身,”赫希强调。“这样的报告并没有真正解决反犹太主义的问题。”
"To write a 30-page report and never mention the state of Israel, let alone address the vicious anti-Zionism, partially fomented by the mayor himself, is evading the issue," Hirsch said. "It’s not dealing head-on with the issue itself."
根据一份新的全球报告,反犹太主义暴力行为已达到自1994年以来的最严重水平。赫希对市政府增加的安全资金表示欢迎,同时指出犹太机构必须承担其他社区无需承担的额外开支。
ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE REACHES DEADLIEST LEVEL SINCE 1994, NEW GLOBAL REPORT FINDS Hirsch welcomed the additional security funding, while emphasizing that Jewish institutions must routinely absorb expenses other communities do not face.
“纽约市所有犹太机构的安全保障费用实际上是对纽约犹太人的额外负担,而其他人则无需为此付费,”他说。“因此,任何用于安全的资金都是非常必要的。”他还支持相关教育举措以及大屠杀纪念馆的参观活动,但认为纽约市的教育体系应该不仅仅教授犹太人遭受迫害的历史,还应该让学生了解反犹太主义与犹太复国主义之间的内在联系。
"The security obligations in every Jewish institution in the city are, in effect, an additional surtax on New York Jews that nobody else pays," he said. "And so any funds for security are welcome." He also supported educational initiatives and Holocaust museum visits but said the city must teach more than the history of Jewish persecution.
“我希望纽约的公立学校能够重视这种联系(即反犹太主义与犹太复国主义之间的关联),”赫希补充道。
"What I would like to see is a focus in New York public schools on the nexus, the connection between anti-Zionism and antisemitism," Hirsch said.
“大屠杀给我们带来的一个重要启示是:犹太人的自决权和自我赋权才是解决犹太人长期处于弱势地位、从而导致反犹太主义盛行(最终演变为种族灭绝)问题的关键,”他补充道。斯坦梅茨也指出,市长正在利用某些策略来逃避对自己言论后果的反思。
"One of the key lessons from the Holocaust," he added, is that "Jewish self-determination and Jewish empowerment are the answer to Jewish powerlessness that gave rise to centuries of antisemitism that culminated in genocide." Steinmetz also said the mayor is using the strategy to avoid examining the consequences of his own language.
“马姆达尼并没有采取实际行动来对抗反犹太主义,反而利用这个计划来转移人们对他的注意力,”斯坦梅茨说道。“他的言论极其鲁莽。”斯坦梅茨指出,那些记录在案的暴力犯罪事件仅反映了纽约犹太人所遭遇问题的冰山一角;更为普遍的是那些恶意的目光和低声的侮辱。他说:“在办公室的茶水间里,人们甚至不敢谈论去以色列的事;犹太人觉得必须隐藏自己的某些身份特征才能被他人接受。”
"Rather than taking responsibility for combating antisemitism, Mamdani is using this plan to deflect attention from himself," Steinmetz said. "His rhetoric has been reckless." Steinmetz said statistics measuring physical crimes capture only part of what Jewish New Yorkers experience. "Far more common is the nasty look and whispered insult," he said. "You cannot talk about a trip to Israel at the water cooler. Jews feel like they have to hide parts of themselves to be accepted."
这位市长长期以来一直公开批评以色列政府,因此因他对以色列、犹太复国主义以及支持以色列的组织的言论而受到犹太领袖们的质疑。批评者认为,将反犹太主义与反犹太复国主义的言论区分开来,实际上忽视了这座城市中大多数犹太人的真实感受。
The mayor has long been an outspoken critic of the Israeli government and has faced scrutiny from Jewish leaders over his descriptions of Israel, Zionism and organizations that support the Jewish state. Critics argue that separating antisemitism from anti-Zionist rhetoric ignores how Jewish identity is experienced by much of the city’s Jewish population.
位于曼哈顿上西区的犹太中心的约西·莱文拉比感谢市长意识到了这一问题的严重性,但同时也呼吁他改变自己的言论方式。莱文拉比对福克斯新闻数字频道表示:“我想感谢市长对抗反犹太主义的决心;承认问题的存在是一个重要的第一步。”莱文拉比继续说道:“随着重要节日的临近,以色列的医疗专家正在培训我们的犹太会堂如何应对可能的袭击事件。但与此同时,我们也希望市长能明确承诺停止使用那些诋毁犹太领袖和以色列的言论。”
Rabbi Yosie Levine of The Jewish Center on Manhattan’s Upper West Side thanked the mayor for recognizing the severity of the problem but called for a corresponding change in his language. "I want to thank the mayor for his commitment to combat antisemitism," Levine told Fox News Digital. "Acknowledging the problem is an important first step." ISRAELI MEDICS TRAIN US SYNAGOGUES HOW TO RESPOND TO ATTACKS, AS HIGH HOLIDAYS APPROACH "At the same time, we would welcome an equally clear commitment to stop using rhetoric that vilifies Jewish leaders and the Jewish state," Levine continued.
“当你把犹太复国主义变成一种指责时,实际上就把犹太复国主义者当成了被告。”北美犹太联合会的总裁兼首席执行官埃里克·芬格胡特向福克斯新闻数字频道引用了纽约犹太联合会(UJA Federation of New York)与纽约犹太社区关系委员会(Jewish Community Relations Council of New York)联合发布的一份声明。
"When you turn Zionism into an accusation, you turn Zionists into the accused." Eric Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, referred Fox News Digital to a joint statement issued by UJA Federation of New York and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.
虽然这些组织认可该计划中的“积极措施”(如增加安全预算以及扩大现有项目的规模),但他们警告称:“该计划未能解决一个核心问题——市长本人一直在宣扬的那些贬低和否定以色列的言论,这些言论必然会导致犹太裔纽约人成为攻击的目标。”声明中进一步指出:“那些真正致力于打击反犹太主义的人必须明确拒绝这类言论,并确保犹太裔纽约人在自己的城市中不会感到被怀疑、被排斥或处于不安全的状态。”
While the organizations recognized "positive elements" in the plan, including increased security funding and the expansion of established programs, they warned that it "fails to address a central issue that the mayor himself has perpetuated: rhetoric that demonizes and delegitimizes Israel inevitably leads to the targeting of Jewish New Yorkers." "Those who truly seek to address antisemitism must unequivocally reject such rhetoric and help ensure that Jewish New Yorkers are never made to feel suspect, excluded or unsafe in their own city," the statement continued.
马姆达尼表示,政府的这些努力最终将惠及所有社区,因为“我们的安全是相互关联的。”
Mamdani said the administration’s efforts would ultimately benefit every community because "our safety is bound up together."
赫希指出:“从根本上说,问题在于人们甚至没有意识到:对以色列的极端厌恶正是导致反犹太主义现象的主要原因。如果政府能够承认这一事实,那将显得更加成熟,也更有助于解决问题。”
"Fundamentally, what is lacking is even an acknowledgment that obsessive loathing of Israel is generating much of this antisemitism," Hirsch said. "It would have been much more mature and, frankly, much more useful to lay out that fact."
他总结道:“仅仅选择忽视这一事实,就是浪费了一个解决问题的机会。我对市长感到失望;他本应该做得更好。”
"Simply to omit it and avoid it is a wasted opportunity," he concluded. "I’m disappointed in the mayor, and he should have done better."
