特拉维夫,10月5日电——一位母亲因儿子在基布兹抵御袭击者冲锋时的最后坚守而受到激励;另一位因儿子在音乐节逃难者挤满的防空洞遭投掷手榴弹时说出的遗言而振奋;第三位则因他为营救被关押在加沙的兄弟们而奔走呼吁而备受鼓舞。

TEL AVIV, Oct 5 - One was inspired by her son's last stand trying to fight off attackers rampaging through a kibbutz. Another by her son's final words as militants tossed grenades into a bomb shelter packed with fleeing revellers from a music festival. A third by the brothers he campaigned to bring home from captivity in Gaza.

哈马斯发动“10·7”袭击三周年之际,至少九名直接卷入该国历史上最血腥一天的以色列家庭成员,正参加本月举行的议会选举。他们代表的政党涵盖各种政治立场,但都表示旨在治愈以色列的创伤。

Three years since Hamas' October 7 attack, at least nine Israelis from families directly caught up in the deadliest day in the country's history are running for parliament in an election this month. They represent parties running the gamut of political views, but all say they aim to heal Israel's wounds.

2023年闯入以色列南部的武装分子造成1200人死亡,并劫持251名人质至加沙。米哈尔·希施·内格里的儿子罗伊在贝埃里基布兹与哈马斯袭击者战斗时牺牲,该基布兹有十分之一的居民遇害。

The militants who burst into southern Israel in 2023 killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages to Gaza. Michal Hirsch Negri's son, Roee, died fighting Hamas attackers in Kibbutz Be'eri, where 1 in 10 residents were killed.

突袭开始后不久,刚结婚、在高科技领域大有可为的罗伊召集了预备役反恐部队的战友,他们后来讲述了与他共度的最后时刻。

Soon after the surprise attack began, Roee, newly married and on a career path in high-tech, scrambled comrades in his reserve counter-terrorism military unit, who later recounted their last moments with him. "He told them: 'We are not looking at the bodies.

“他对他们说:‘我们不看尸体。我们是来救人的。我们是来救国家的。’这句话深深刻在我的心里,”母亲说道。

We are here to save people. We are here to save our country.' And this is a sentence that is engraved in my heart," said his mother.

现年60岁的希施·内格里代表“共同党”参选,该党由前总理纳夫塔利·贝内特领导,属于一个由左、右、中各派组成的联盟,旨在推翻总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡领导的民族宗教联合政府。

Hirsch Negri, 60, is running in Together, led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and part of an alliance of left, right and centre parties aiming to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's nationalist-religious coalition. "Everyone knows what's bad.

“每个人都知道什么是坏的,什么是破碎的。光谈论情况有多糟或政府有多烂毫无用处。我的罗伊,他总是审视局势、分析形势,然后说,好,现在我们能做什么来修复它?”“肩负使命”她的竞选搭档之一是诺姆·蒂邦,64岁,前将军,其子连同年幼的家人被困在纳哈尔奥兹基布兹的家中,该基布兹同样遭到哈马斯袭击。蒂邦夫妇从特拉维夫出发营救儿子,途中与哈马斯武装分子交火,并将伤员送往医院。

Everyone knows what is broken. Talking about how bad it is or how bad the government is won't get us anywhere. My Roee, he always looked at the situation, analysed it and said, okay, now what can we do to fix it?" 'ON A MISSION' One of her running mates is Noam Tibon, 64, a former general whose son was trapped with his young family in their home on Nahal Oz, another kibbutz attacked by Hamas. Tibon and his wife set out from Tel Aviv to rescue their son, battling en route with Hamas militants and evacuating wounded to hospital.

“10月7日是我们历史上最大的失败,我亲眼目睹了这一切,”他说。内塔尼亚胡拒绝为安保失职承担责任,并抵制要求进行独立调查的呼声。

"October 7 was the biggest failure in our history and I saw it with my own eyes," he said. Netanyahu has rejected blame for the security breach and resisted calls for an independent investigation.

沙龙·沙拉比,51岁,代表右翼政党“我们的家园以色列”参选,他在为达成释放加沙人质协议奔走呼吁时,目睹了以色列领导层的失职,其中包括他的两个兄弟约西和埃利,两人均在贝埃里基布兹被哈马斯劫持。

Sharon Sharabi, 51, running in the right-wing Israel Our Home party, says he witnessed Israel's leadership failings when he campaigned for a deal to free Gaza hostages, including his brothers Yossi and Eli, both seized by Hamas from Be'eri.

约西在囚禁中不幸遇难。埃利的妻子和两个十几岁的女儿在基布兹遇害,他在被囚禁近500天后于2025年初获释。

Yossi did not survive captivity. Eli, whose wife and two teenage daughters were slain in the kibbutz, was released in early 2025 after almost 500 days.

“我意识到,即使人质归来,我也不能袖手旁观,让平庸之辈继续掌管国家,”沙拉比说。“我明白我必须放下原有的生活,踏上使命,去修正、去将以色列国带回其真正的价值观。”并非所有人都认为推翻联合政府是前进的道路。塔利克·格维利的儿子拉尼是一名警察,也是最后一具从加沙寻回遗骸的以色列人质,她被内塔尼亚胡亲自挑选为其政党的候选人名单成员。

"I understood that even after the hostages come back, that I can't stand aside and let mediocre people keep running the country," Sharabi said. "I understood that I have to leave my life behind, to go on a mission to remedy, to return the state of Israel to its true values." Not all see removing the coalition as the path forward. Talik Gvili, whose police officer son Ran was the last Israeli hostage whose remains were recovered from Gaza, was personally chosen by Netanyahu as a candidate on his party's slate.

“我在延续拉尼的使命。他去保卫以色列,”她在该党竞选视频中说。“我想要一位强有力的领导人,一个我可以信赖的人,”她谈到内塔尼亚胡时说。“他承诺带拉尼回家,他做到了。他承诺改变中东局势,他也做到了。”“在我之后继续前行”但大多数来自10月7日受难家庭的候选人支持反对内塔尼亚胡的政党,动力源于他们眼中那天以及此后的种种失职。

"I am continuing the mission Rani was on. He went to defend Israel," she said in a party campaign video. "I want a strong leader, someone I can count on," she said of Netanyahu. "He promised to bring Rani home and he did. He promised to make a change in the Middle East and he did." 'CONTINUE AFTER ME' But most of the candidates from October 7 families support parties aligned against Netanyahu, driven by what they see as failings on that day and since.

Shira Shapiro,51岁,正作为“Yashar”党的候选人参选,这是一个由前军方首长Gadi Eisenkot领导的新反对派中间派政党,他自己的士兵儿子也在加沙阵亡。

Shira Shapiro, 51, is running as a candidate for Yashar, a new opposition centrist party led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot whose own soldier son was killed in Gaza.

Shapiro表示,她和其他10月7日遇难者的家长“正试图将这份痛苦赋予意义,从中成长。这也是我们在国家层面需要做的事情。”她的长子Aner,一名22岁的休假士兵兼音乐家,曾参加10月7日遭袭击的Nova音乐节,并与其他26人在路边的防空洞躲避。

Shapiro said she and other parents of October 7 victims "are trying to take this pain and give it meaning, to grow from it. This is also what we need to do on a national level." Her eldest son Aner, a 22-year-old off-duty soldier and musician, had attended the Nova music festival attacked on October 7 and took cover with 26 others in a roadside bomb shelter.

当哈马斯武装分子向拥挤的掩体内投掷手榴弹时,Aner将它们扔了出去。他的最后时刻被行车记录仪拍下,一名遇难者遇害前录制的音频记录下来,一名幸存者拍下的照片也记录了下来。Aner告诉其他人,如果他受伤了,他们必须坚持下去。

As the Hamas men lobbed grenades into the packed shelter, Aner tossed them out. His last moments were caught in dashcam footage, an audio recording made by one of the victims before she was killed and a photo taken by a survivor. Aner told the others that if he is hurt, they must continue.

“我听到他的声音说‘在我之后继续’,他的意思是继续扔手榴弹,但我听到他的声音在说‘在我之后继续’,”Shapiro说。“而我必须在他之后继续。这就是我站在这里的原因。” REUTERS

"I hear his voice say 'continue after me', he meant continue throwing the grenades but I hear his voice saying 'continue after me'," said Shapiro. "And I have to continue after him. And that's why I'm here." REUTERS
