伦敦，10月4日电——英国绿党于周日投票将犹太复国主义认定为一种形式的种族主义，此举遭到英国犹太群体和以色列政府的批评。以色列政府称，该党如今是“一个为恐怖主义提供合法性的机构”。
LONDON, Oct 4 - Britain's Green Party voted on Sunday to class Zionism as a form of racism, drawing criticism from British Jews and from the Israeli government which said it now viewed the party as "a body that gives legitimacy to terrorism".
该党在2024年全国选举中获得了6%的选票。绿党表示，其将犹太复国主义视为“一个民族国家主义政治项目”，并再次呼吁英国工党政府终止与以色列的一切军火贸易。
The party – which received 6% of the vote in national elections in 2024 – said it regarded Zionism as "an ethnonationalist political project" and repeated its call for Britain's Labour government to end all arms trade with Israel.
该党在声明中说：“这项动议还重申绿党支持自决权，并呼吁在历史悠久的巴勒斯坦全境建立一个单一的民主国家。”
"The motion also restates the Green Party's backing for the right to self-determination and calls for the establishment of a single democratic state throughout historic Palestine," the party said in a statement.
犹太复国主义的定义——这一主义促成了20世纪现代以色列国的建立——以及它对以色列和邻近领土上非犹太人权利的影响，一直存在争议。有些犹太团体将其定义为犹太人的自决权。
The definition of Zionism – which inspired the foundation of the modern state of Israel in the 20th century – and what it implies for the rights of non-Jews in Israel and neighbouring territory, is contentious. Jewish groups sometimes define it as a right to Jewish self-determination.
尽管许多资深人士表示反对，绿党动议仍以1022票对813票获得通过。绿党党魁扎克·波朗斯基将于周四在前首相基尔·斯塔默如今空缺的伦敦选区竞选议会议席，但他没有参加此次表决。这一结果遭到了英国犹太团体的谴责。
The Green Party motion passed by a majority of 1,022 to 813 despite opposition from many senior figures. Party leader Zack Polanski, who is seeking election to Parliament on Thursday in former Prime Minister Keir Starmer's now-vacant London constituency, did not vote. The result was condemned by British Jewish groups.
“绿党已将反犹主义纳入党的政策，并成为一个种族主义政党。”进步犹太教运动表示，一些犹太人支持这项动议，并不意味着它不会被用来歧视其他人。
"The Green Party has made antisemitism party policy and become a racist party," the Movement for Progressive Judaism said, adding that the support of some Jews for the motion did not mean it would not be used to discriminate against others.
绿党副党魁、该动议支持者莫辛·阿里上周六对天空新闻网表示，以色列与哈马斯之间的冲突是此次投票的关键背景；这场冲突紧随巴勒斯坦武装组织2023年对以色列一场音乐节的致命袭击之后，已造成大量巴勒斯坦人死亡。
Mothin Ali, deputy leader of the Green Party and a supporter of the motion, told Sky News on Saturday that the heavy Palestinian death toll in Israel's conflict with Hamas – which followed the Palestinian militant group's deadly 2023 attack on an Israeli music festival – was the key context for the vote.
这项动议对犹太复国主义作出了非常明确的界定，将其定义为一种民族国家主义运动，将其定义为种族清洗，将其定义为种族灭绝。阿里说。
"The motion defines Zionism quite clearly. It defines it as an ethnonationalist movement. It defines it as ethnic cleansing. It defines it as genocide," Ali said.
英国政府认为，以色列定居者在约旦河西岸的行为相当于种族清洗，但表示，其他以色列行为是否构成种族灭绝，必须由法院裁决。
Britain's government views Israeli settlers' actions in the West Bank as amounting to ethnic cleansing but has said courts must decide if other Israeli actions qualify as genocide.
以色列拒绝有关种族清洗和种族灭绝的指控，并于周日呼吁英国其他政党谴责绿党的投票决定。以方说：“绿党不仅接受了哈马斯的绿色，也接受了其意识形态，即通过武装斗争消灭以色列国家。”
Israel – which rejects claims of ethnic cleansing and genocide – called on Sunday for other British political parties to condemn the Green Party vote. "The Greens have adopted not only the green of Hamas, but also its ideology: the elimination of the State of Israel through armed struggle," it said.
波兰斯基和其他绿党高层人士表示，他们将“继续谴责内塔尼亚胡政府犯下的滔天罪行”，并称“支持巴勒斯坦人的权利与支持犹太人的权利之间并不存在冲突”。
Polanski and other senior Green Party figures said they would "continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government" and that "there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people".
