美国参议员伯尼·桑德斯警告称,美国以色列公共事务委员会(AIPAC)计划投入2.33亿美元,在今年秋季美国国会中期选举中击败公开反对以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡政府的候选人。
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is set to spend $233 million to defeat candidates in this fall’s congressional midterm elections who speak out against the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warned US Senator Bernie Sanders.
桑德斯周五在美国社交媒体平台X上表示,美国最大的亲以色列游说机构“计划投入2.33亿美元,击败那些敢反对内塔尼亚胡极端主义政府的人”。
The top pro-Israel lobbying firm in the US "plans to spend $233 million to defeat candidates who dare to speak out against Netanyahu's extremist government," Sanders said on US social media platform X on Friday.
他说:“他们投入3300万美元,在密歇根州初选中击败阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德。他们输了,以后也还会继续输。”
"They spent $33 million to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan primary. They lost. They are going to keep losing,” he said.
阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德是密歇根州今年参议员选举中的民主党候选人。他坚决反对美国向以色列提供无条件的军事援助,并批评内塔尼亚胡政府在加沙和被占领的约旦河西岸实施的政策。
El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate in this year’s senatorial race in the state of Michigan, strongly opposes unconditional US military aid for Israel and has criticized the Netanyahu government’s policies in both Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
桑德斯补充道:“不再向以色列提供美国军事援助!”在11月3日举行的美国国会中期选举中,民调显示民主党总体上有望赢得众议院,甚至可能赢得参议院。
Sanders added: "NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID FOR ISRAEL.”In the Nov. 3 US congressional midterms, polls show Democrats broadly favored to win the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate.
随着美国选民对以色列的看法日益负面,尤其是考虑到加沙正在发生的种族灭绝,许多今年参选的民主党人对内塔尼亚胡政府的政策,以及许多人士所认为的该政府驱逐巴勒斯坦人、阻挠中东实现和平之希望的努力采取了更强硬的立场。
As the US electorate’s view of Israel has soured, especially in light of the genocide in Gaza, many Democrats running for office this year have taken a harder line against the policies of the Netanyahu government and what many see as its efforts to displace Palestinians and frustrate any hope for peace in the Middle East.
