英国绿党成为欧洲首个公开宣称反犹太复国主义的主流政党。该党周日在英国布莱顿召开的党代会上,就备受争议的“犹太复国主义就是种族主义”动议进行表决,并以1022票对813票通过。修正案三原本将保护隶属于自我认定为犹太复国主义组织之犹太会堂的犹太人,使其免遭开除,但该修正案也未获通过,支持者为684票,反对者为1026票。
The Green Party has become the first mainstream party in Europe to declare itself openly anti-Zionist after voting in the controversial "Zionism is Racism" motion at its party conference in Brighton, UK, on Sunday, passing the motion 1,022 votes to 813. Amendment III - which would have protected Jewish people from being expelled if they belong to synagogues that define themselves as Zionist - also failed to pass, with 684 votes in support and 1,026 against. The Green Party previously planned to vote on the motion at its Spring Conference in March; however, multiple no-confidence votes were submitted, creating delays and meaning it was never heard or debated. The motion recognizes Zionism as Israel's foundational ideology that has created and maintains an apartheid regime between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
绿党原计划在3月举行的春季党代会上就该动议进行表决;然而,多项不信任动议的提交造成延误,使该动议始终未获审议或辩论。该动议认定,犹太复国主义是以色列的建国意识形态,它在约旦河与地中海之间建立并维持了一套种族隔离制度。动议还确认巴勒斯坦人民享有自决和解放的权利,并支持建立一个“覆盖全部历史巴勒斯坦领土、以耶路撒冷为首都的单一民主巴勒斯坦国家”。
It further affirms the right to self-determination and liberation of the Palestinian people and supports the establishment of a “single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital.”This would effectively eradicate the State of Israel. On Saturday, Zack Polanski told the conference, "We stand with one voice now as we say: 'Drop the charges. End the genocide. Deproscribe Palestine Action.'" However, according to The Telegraph, Polanski did not vote on the motion, as he was on the campaign trail in north London ahead of Thursday's Holborn and St Pancras by-election.
这实际上将消灭以色列国。周日,扎克·波尔安斯基对大会表示:“现在我们众口一声地呼吁因此,犹太绿党表示,他们不会对这项动议采取官方立场。大多数犹太绿党成员(81%)认同自己是反锡安主义者或非锡安主义者。在支持锡安主义的受访者中,80%反对“锡安主义即种族主义”的动议。然而有趣的是,反锡安主义的绿党成员对该动议也持分歧意见。70%的多数成员强烈支持取消对“巴勒斯坦行动”组织的禁令,64%强烈支持巴勒斯坦人“在国际法允许的范围内,通过一切可用手段抵抗种族隔离、占领和种族灭绝”的权利。恰好有一半的成员支持对参与以色列军队作战的英国公民提起刑事起诉。为犹太人在会议期间设立的“安全室”另一个令人震惊的披露是,该党的犹太成员告诉《星期日邮报》,会议期间已为那些感到自身处于危险中的犹太成员指定了一间“安全室”。
Polanski, who is Jewish, has nevertheless failed to condemn the motion. Jewish Greens remain split on motion The Jewish Greens - a Jewish group within the party - remain split on the Zionism is Racism motion. Ahead of the conference, the group answered a survey about key conference issues. On a 0–10 scale measuring whether Jewish Greens should collectively oppose the motion, the average was 5.1, indicating an almost exact split.
“我们被提供了一间‘安全室’,供犹太成员在紧急情况下使用,”一名成员告诉《星期日邮报》。
Consequently, Jewish Greens said it will not take an official position on the motion. Most Jewish Greens (81%) identify as anti-Zionist or non-Zionist.
“在会议的第一天,这间屋子被用来举办一场拉比与部分犹太成员之间的会议。这是一个令人深感不安的局面,但这就是现实。”
Of the Zionist respondents, 80% of Zionist respondents oppose the Zionism as Racism motion. Interestingly, however, the anti-Zionist Greens were divided on the motion too.A majority of 70% strongly support de-proscribing Palestine Action, and 64% strongly support Palestinians' right to "resist apartheid, occupation and genocide through all available means within international law.”
进步犹太教运动的共同负责人查利·巴金斯基拉比和乔什·莱维拉比周日告诉《耶路撒冷邮报》,该动议“在措辞和意图上都是反犹的”。
Exactly half support criminal prosecution of UK citizens who fight with the Israeli military.' Safe-rooms' designated for Jews during the conferenceAnother shocking revelation came when Jewish members of the party told the Mail on Sunday that a designated 'safe-room' has been set aside during the conference for Jewish members who feel they are in danger.“We have been given a 'safe room' for Jewish members to use in an emergency,” a member told the Mail on Sunday.“It was used on the first day of the conference to host a meeting between a rabbi and some Jewish members. It's a deeply upsetting situation, but that's the reality.”
“通过采纳这项动议,绿党已将反犹主义定为党的政策,并变成了一个种族主义政党,”两人表示。
Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy, Co-Leads of the Movement for Progressive Judaism, told The Jerusalem Post Sunday that the motion is "antisemitic in its formulation and intention.""
“犹太人的自决权是一项权利。将其宣布为种族主义是对犹太人的攻击。”
By adopting it, the Green Party has made antisemitism party policy and become a racist party," the two said." Jewish self-determination is a right.
绿党选择将持有这一信念的犹太人斥为种族主义者,并把他们平等参与党内事务的条件设定为放弃这一信念。“巴金斯基和利维表示,犹太人无需为自身与以色列的联系作出解释,便有权获得平等待遇;参与英国政治也不应要求他们与自己的社群决裂。”“一些犹太党员支持这项动议,并不能成为对其他犹太人实施歧视的借口。”“我们与犹太党员及我们的社群站在一起。我们将反对这项政策,并就绿党领导层纵容歧视一事追究其责任。”
Declaring it racist is an attack on Jews. The Green Party has chosen to brand Jews who hold this belief as racists and make their equal participation in the party conditional on renouncing it." Baginsky and Levy said Jews should not have to justify their connections to Israel to be entitled to equal treatment, nor should they have to disown their communities to participate in British politics." Support for this motion from some Jewish members does not excuse discrimination against other Jews."" We stand with Jewish members and our communities. We will challenge this policy and hold the Green Party's leadership accountable for the discrimination it has endorsed."
