作者:马洛里·莫恩奇犹太绿党主席维维安·利希滕斯坦告诉英国广播公司,在绿党成员通过一项宣布犹太复国主义为种族主义一种形式的动议后,她“很有可能”离开该党。

By Mallory Moench The chair of Jewish Greens Vivien Lichtenstein has told the BBC it is "quite possible" she will leave the party after Green members adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism.

该动议引起了党内高层人士的分歧,该动议还支持“在整个历史上的巴勒斯坦地区建立一个单一的民主巴勒斯坦国”,其中包括现代的以色列。它受到了一些犹太团体和以色列外交部的批评。

The motion, which has divided senior party figures, also backs a "single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine", which includes modern-day Israel. It has been criticised by some Jewish groups and Israel's foreign ministry.

在被BBC广播四台的《今日》节目问及她的未来时,利希滕斯坦说:“我还没有决定……我很有可能会离开党..我会给它一点时间并与同事交谈。“利希滕斯坦是当地政党的前主席,她表示,她从第一次听说这项动议时就反对这项动议。

Asked by BBC Radio 4's Today programme about her future, Lichtenstein said: "I haven't decided yet...It is quite possible that I will leave the party...I'm giving it a little time and to talk with colleagues." Lichtenstein, who is a former chair of her local party, said she had opposed the motion from the first time she heard about it.

“我认为这没有帮助,这对遭受破坏的加沙巴勒斯坦人、留下的孤儿没有任何影响,对约旦河西岸目前正在遭受苦难的巴勒斯坦人来说也没有任何影响,目前正在遭受袭击和杀害。“英格兰和威尔士绿党成员以1,022票对813票支持了这项政策动议,该动议是由一群活动人士在布莱顿该党会议上提出的。绿党共有23万名成员,但并非所有人都参加了会议。

"I don't think it's helpful and it doesn't make any difference whatsoever to Palestinians in Gaza who have suffered devastation, orphans left behind, it doesn't make any difference to Palestinians in the West Bank who are currently suffering, are currently being attacked and killed." Members of the Green Party of England and Wales endorsed the policy motion, which was put forward by a group of activists at the party's conference in Brighton, by 1,022 votes to 813. There are 230,000 members of the Green party overall and not everyone attended the conference.

该动议和其他声明“支持在整个历史悠久的巴勒斯坦地区建立一个单一的民主巴勒斯坦国,以耶路撒冷为首都,所有人权利平等,巴勒斯坦人及其后裔有返回的权利”。

The motion, among other statements, "supports the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital, equal rights for all, and the right of return for Palestinians and their descendants".

它将犹太复国主义定义为支持“民族民族主义犹太国家”的意识形态。

It defines Zionism as an ideology supporting "an ethnonationalist Jewish state".

批评该动议的英国犹太人代表委员会和犹太领袖委员会表示,“犹太复国主义是反种族主义的,在古老的家园遭受数千年的迫害后,为犹太人在古老的家园创造了一个庇护所”。

The Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council, which criticised the motion, said "Zionism is anti-racism, creating a refuge for Jews in their ancient homeland after millennia of persecution outside it".

利希滕斯坦说,根据定义,她将自己定义为“犹太复国主义者和反犹太复国主义者”,并表示该动议的一个问题是有很多定义。

Lichtenstein said she defines herself as "both Zionist and anti-Zionist" depending on the definition, and said a problem with the motion is that there are many definitions.

她表示,她并不担心“人们指责我支持以色列的生存权,因此我是种族主义者,事实当然并非如此”,但她表示“非常糟糕的动议……越界了”。

She said she was not concerned about "people accusing me of supporting Israel's right to exist and therefore I'm a racist, which of course is not the case", but said the "very bad motion...crosses a line".

她说,这样做的一种方式是,提案者表示他们已经咨询了一些犹太人,但没有咨询犹太绿党,后者会做出一些修正案来改进该动议。

One way in which it did that, she said, was that the proposers said they had consulted some Jews, but did not consult the Jewish Greens, who would have made some amendments to improve the motion.

她说,犹太绿党存在“广泛”的观点,有些人完全支持该动议,另一些人支持某些方面,还有一些人反对该动议。她补充说,一些犹太绿党也支持一个国家。

She said there was a "vast range" of opinions among Jewish Greens, some who supported the motion entirely, others who supported aspects, and others who were against it. Some Jewish Greens also support one state, she added.

她说,该党的政策是“由以色列人和巴勒斯坦人选择他们的未来--一个或两个国家”。

She said that party policy was that "it's up to Israelis and Palestinians to choose their future - one state or two".

英国和11个盟友支持两国解决方案,该方案将承认巴勒斯坦国和以色列国。以色列拒绝两国解决方案。

The UK and 11 allies support a two-state solution, which would recognise a Palestinian state alongside an Israeli one. Israel rejects a two-state solution.

她对这项动议的担忧是,绿党可能会指责英国、以色列或犹太组织,包括那些与巴勒斯坦人合作的组织,存在种族主义。她说,她支持这些团体中的许多人“反对占领,甚至到实地帮助巴勒斯坦人”。

Her concern with the motion was that the Green Party may accuse UK, Israeli, or Jewish organisations, including those that partner with Palestinians, of racism. She said she supports many of these groups working "against the occupation and even go out on the ground to assist Palestinians".

她说,她知道一些非犹太人打算不留在党内,因为“他们认为这项动议越过了一条线”,也因为他们的工作,如果他们可能无法与一个以“犹太复国主义是种族主义”为政策的政党联系在一起的话。

She said she knows of some non-Jews who are planning on not staying in the party because "they think the motion crosses a line" and also because of their work, if they might not be able to be associated with a party that has "Zionism is racism" as a policy.

当被问及她是否相信党内有反犹主义者,包括高层时,她说:“党内肯定有一些反犹主义者,我不知道高层,这不是我的经验。”

Asked whether she believed there were antisemites inside the party, including at senior levels, she said "there are certainly some antisemites in the party, I don't know about at senior level, that is not my experience".

该党领导人扎克·波兰斯基本人也是犹太人,他呼吁修改该动议,增加对犹太成员的保护,并删除提及“单一民主巴勒斯坦国”的措辞。这两项修正案均被否决。

The party's leader Zack Polanski, who is himself Jewish, had called for the motion to be amended to add in protections for Jewish members and remove language referring to a "single democratic Palestinian State". Both of these amendments were defeated.

波兰斯基没有留在会议上就这一动议或实质性动议进行投票。他提前离开,前往霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯竞选,并参加那里的议员补选。在比赛中的候选人的完整名单可以在这里找到。作为对该动议的回应,以色列外交部表示已禁止波兰斯基入境。

Polanski did not stay at conference to vote on either this or the substantive motion. He left early to campaign in Holborn and St Pancras, where he is standing in a by-election to be the MP. A full list of candidates in the contest can be found here. In response to the motion, Israel's foreign ministry said it had banned Polanski from entering the country.

绿党发言人坚称,该党将保护犹太成员,他们不会因参加自定义为犹太复国主义者的犹太教堂而受到迫害。

A Green spokeswoman insisted the party would protect Jewish members - and they would not be persecuted for attending synagogues which defined themselves as Zionist.

该动议背后的绿党成员卢布纳·斯皮坦(Lubna Speitan)在投票后发表讲话,辩称该动议的支持者希望表达对“种族主义压迫制度”的反对。

Speaking after the vote, Lubna Speitan, the Green member behind the motion, argued its backers wanted to voice opposition to "racist systems of oppression".

她补充说:“我们团结一致,反对一切形式的种族主义和歧视--没有例外。”该党的大多数议员反对该动议,但领导层存在分歧。

"We stand united against all forms of racism and discrimination - no exemptions," she added. The majority of the party's MPs were against the motion, but the leadership was divided.

在周五接受《今日》节目采访时,联合副领导人雷切尔·米尔沃德称该动议“有问题”,而她的副领导人莫辛·阿里周六告诉英国广播公司,他将支持该动议的原始形式。

In her interview on the Today programme on Friday, co-deputy leader Rachel Millward had called the motion "problematic", while her counterpart Mothin Ali told the BBC on Saturday he would support the motion in its original form.

英国犹太教最大、最自由的派别之一进步犹太教运动发表声明谴责该动议,称该动议“在措辞和意图上是反犹太主义的”。

The Movement for Progressive Judaism, one of the largest and most liberal strands of Judaism in the UK, released a statement condemning the motion, which it said was "antisemitic in its formulation and intention".

“犹太人的自决是一项权利。声明说:“宣布这是种族主义是对犹太人的攻击。”

"Jewish self-determination is a right. Declaring it racist is an attack on Jews," the statement read.

首席拉比以法莲·米尔维斯爵士(Sir Ephraim Mirvis)也称该动议是“有毒的反犹太主义,对英国犹太人和英国的威胁”。

Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis also called the motion "poisonous antisemitism, a threat to British Jews and to Britain".

绿党的动议称,它“拒绝”将反犹太复国主义与反犹太主义等同起来的企图,并表示“我们申明,反犹太歧视的定义不应将犹太人身份与犹太复国主义意识形态或政治实践等同起来”。反对党对该动议进行了反击。

The Green Party motion said it "rejects attempts" to - among other things - "equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism" and said "we affirm that definitions of anti-Jewish discrimination should not equate Jewish identity with Zionist ideology or political practice". Opposition parties pushed back against the motion.

工党主席布里奇特·菲利普森(Bridget Phillipson)表示,这次投票“越界了”,并呼吁波兰斯基“明确表示,这不会是他们未来的立场”。

Labour chairwoman Bridget Phillipson said the vote "crosses a line" and called on Polanski to "make clear that this will not be their position moving forwards".

影子内政大臣克里斯·菲利普代表保守党批评了这项动议,称它表明绿党“对其核心有毒”。

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp criticised the motion on behalf of the Conservatives, saying it demonstrated the Green Party was "toxic to its core".

自由民主党议员卢克·泰勒表示,这项“分裂”动议没有解决英国伊斯兰恐惧症和反犹太主义“日益严重的威胁”。

Liberal Democrat MP Luke Taylor said the "divisive" motion did not address "the rising threats" of Islamophobia and antisemitism in the UK.
