作者:伊万·索默维尔。安迪·伯纳姆已呼吁绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基撤销其党内成员通过的一项决议,该决议将犹太复国主义定义为一种种族主义形式。
By Ewan Somerville Andy Burnham has called on Green leader Zack Polanski to reverse a motion passed by members of his party declaring Zionism a form of racism.
这位首相表示,该决议于周日在布莱顿举行的党内大会上获得批准,是“完全错误的”,并显示出“极其糟糕的判断力”。
The prime minister said the motion, approved on Sunday at the party's conference in Brighton, was "completely wrong" and showed "terrible judgement".
该决议将犹太复国主义定义为支持“一个民族主义犹太国家”的意识形态,并支持“在整个历史巴勒斯坦地区建立一个统一的民主巴勒斯坦国家”,这一范围包括现代以色列。
The motion defined Zionism as an ideology supporting "an ethnonationalist Jewish state" and backed a "single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine", which includes modern-day Israel.
投票结束后,波兰斯基表示,他不会接受任何人“因其所属的宗教或社群团体”而被排除在绿党之外。
In the wake of the vote, Polanski has said he would not accept anyone being excluded from the Green Party "because of the religious or communal body they are part of".
自该决议通过以来,这位绿党领袖一直拒绝接受媒体采访,在伯纳姆发表评论前,他也没有回答BBC记者关于该决议的提问。
The Green leader has declined media interviews since the motion was passed and did not answer questions from a BBC reporter about the motion ahead of Burnham's comments.
此事发生在周四霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯补选投票截止之际,波兰斯基正是该选区的候选人。
It comes as polls close in Thursday's Holborn and St Pancras by-election, in which Polanski is a candidate.
该决议使波兰斯基竞选活动的最后几天变得复杂。绿党希望在该选区推翻工党此前占据的显著多数席位,而该席位由前首相基尔·斯塔默爵士辞去。
The motion has complicated the final days of Polanksi's campaign in the contest, where the Greens have been looking to overturn a substantial Labour majority in the seat vacated by former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
该决议已引发多日争议:五名绿党议员中有四人反对该决议,其联合副领袖们在是否支持该决议上存在分歧,威尔士的绿党副领袖已辞职,此外还遭到党内成员及欧洲绿党同僚的谴责。
It has sparked days of controversy, with four of the five Green MPs opposing it, its co-deputy leaders split on supporting it, the Green deputy leader in Wales resigning, and condemnation from members and Green counterparts in Europe.
波兰斯基并未对犹太复国主义决议进行投票,因为他提前离开了大会,返回伦敦参与补选竞选。
Polanski did not vote on the Zionism motion, having left the conference early to return to London for the by-election campaign.
他曾支持一项修正案,旨在明确该决议不得用于惩罚那些参加自视为支持犹太复国主义的犹太教堂的犹太成员,但该修正案最终被与会成员否决。
An amendment he had backed to specify that the motion should not be used to discipline Jewish members attending synagogues that consider themselves Zionist was voted down by members.
在投票之前,他还表示希望修改关于“单一巴勒斯坦国”的表述,并辩称:“我认为,作为英格兰和威尔士的绿党,甚至英国政府,都不应该决定未来的解决方案会是什么样子。”绿党实行内部民主模式,官方党纲由党员共同决定。然而,这些立场并不一定会被纳入该党在大选中的竞选纲领。
Before the vote, he had also said he wanted to see the reference to a single Palestinian state changed, arguing: "I don't believe we as a Green Party of England and Wales, or even the British government, should be deciding what the future settlement looks like." The Green Party has an internal democracy model, under which official party policy is decided by members. However, these positions are not necessarily included in the party's general election manifestos.
周四,伯纳姆首次就这场争议发表意见,称他认为这项动议实际上排除了以色列与巴勒斯坦之间建立两国解决方案的可能性。
In his first intervention in the row on Thursday, Burnham said he felt the motion effectively ruled out a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
“因此,这项动议在任何形式和方式下都不应得到支持,”他在访问柏林时对记者说。
"For that reason, it shouldn't be supported in any way, shape or form," he told reporters while on a visit to Berlin.
“我呼吁绿党领导层明确表示,将推翻这项动议,使其不再成为绿党的政策。”当被问及是否会排除与该党组建联合政府的可能性时,他并未具体回应“未来可能发生或不可能发生的任何事务”。
"I would call on the leadership of the Green Party to say that it will be reversed and it won't be Green Party policy." When asked if he would rule out entering into coalition with the party, he would not be drawn on "any business about what might or might not happen in the future".
周一,波兰斯基在一份声明中并未明确说明他是否支持党员们通过的动议,但他表示不会接受任何人“因其所属的宗教或社群团体”而被排除在党外。
In a statement on Monday, Polanski did not specify whether he supported the motion passed by members but said he would not accept anyone being excluded from the party "because of the religious or communal body they are part of".
周四,绿党发言人表示:“这是一个充满情绪且复杂的问题。它确实引发了广泛讨论,也应当结合以色列的行为背景来理解。
On Thursday, a Green Party spokesperson said: "This has been an emotive issue and is complex. It has rightly caused much discussion, and needs to be taken in the context that Israel's behaviour has had.
“以色列应对种族灭绝、种族清洗以及儿童死亡负有责任,而我们的政治精英不仅对此视而不见,甚至还提供了支持。”国际法院(ICJ)目前正在审理南非提起的诉讼,该诉讼指控以色列军队犯有种族灭绝罪,但可能需要数年才能得出结论。以色列称此案“完全毫无根据”,且基于“偏见和虚假的指控”。以了解威斯敏斯特乃至更广泛领域的内部运作。
"Israel has been responsible for a genocide, ethnic cleansing and the killing of children, and we've had a political establishment which has not only turned a blind eye but provided support." The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is currently hearing a case brought by South Africa that accuses Israeli forces of genocide, but it could take years to reach a conclusion. Israel has called the case "wholly unfounded" and based on "biased and false claims".
