威尔士绿党前副领袖菲尔·戴维斯表示，他因党内在会上提出的“犹太复国主义即种族主义”这一动议而辞职。他认为该动议毫无意义，其中一些言论更是可耻至极。
The Green Party's former deputy leader in Wales says he resigned over the motion to declare "Zionism is racism" because it was "pointless" and some of the statements made were "disgraceful". Phil Davies announced on social media on Tuesday his decision to quit the party had been "accelerated" by Sunday's conference motion.
周二，戴维斯在社交媒体上宣布，周日的党代会所通过的这一动议促使他加快了退党的决定。他在帖子中称该动议“带有帝国主义色彩且愚蠢至极”，还表示威尔士绿党成员应考虑脱离英国绿党的英格兰分支独立行事。
In the post he had described the motion as "imperialistic" and "idiotic", and said Welsh Greens should consider splitting away from the English part of the party. In response party leader Zack Polanski reissued a statement, originally sent on Monday saying he would not accept anyone being excluded from the party "because of the religious or communal body they are part of".
对此，绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基重新发布了周一曾发布过的声明，强调他绝不会允许任何人“因所属的宗教或社群团体”而被排除在党外。身为犹太人的波兰斯基还指出：“反犹太主义与对以色列国的批评必须始终严格区分开来。”
The party leader, who is Jewish, added that "anti-semitism and criticism of the Israeli state are, and must always be, completely distinct". What is Zionism?
所谓“犹太复国主义”究竟是什么？其历史渊源简述如下：此次被党代会通过并确立为党纲的动议主张在整个历史上的巴勒斯坦地区建立一个统一的民主巴勒斯坦国，这一范围涵盖了如今的以色列。
A very brief history The motion, which was passed at a party conference to become party policy called for a "single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine", which includes modern-day Israel. In response, Israel banned Polanski from entering the country, while Jewish groups described it as an "attack" on their community and some Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs reported the party to Great Britain's equality watchdog.
该动议引发强烈反响：以色列随即禁止波兰斯基入境；多个犹太团体称此举是对其社群的“攻击”；一些工党和自由民主党议员则向英国平等事务监管机构举报了绿党。
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales Breakfast on Wednesday, Davies said he did not know why the motion was discussed "as it doesn't do anything to materially improve people's lives in Palestine".
周三，戴维斯在接受BBC威尔士电台晨间节目采访时称，他不明白为何要讨论这一动议，“因为它根本无法切实改善巴勒斯坦民众的生活”。他表示，威尔士绿党领袖安东尼·斯洛特支持他退党的决定，他还希望下个月召开的党代会上，威尔士党员能投票决定脱离英格兰分部独立。
He said Welsh Greens leader Anthony Slaughter had been supportive of his decision to quit, and also said he hoped Welsh party members would vote to split from those in England at a conference next month. Davies said it was "not the sort of politics" he wanted to be associated with, and that Slaughter had been supportive of his decision to leave the party.
戴维斯强调，这种政治主张并非他愿意认同的，而斯洛特也完全支持他离开绿党的决定。他说道：“说实话，我们的观点完全一致。”
He said: "Our views are exactly the same to be honest with you. "He sent me a very nice message yesterday as well.
他昨天也给我发了一条非常友善的消息。我把安东尼视为密友，而且这一点不会改变。当被问及斯劳特是否会追随他退出该党时，戴维斯表示，他不同意任何民选官员辞职后仍留在威尔士议会。
I class Anthony as a close friend and that will remain." When asked on whether Slaughter would follow him in quitting the party, Davies said he did not agree with any elected official resigning and staying in the Senedd. "You weren't voted in as an individual member under this system.
他补充道：“在这个体制下，你并不是以个人身份当选的，而是以你所属政党的名义当选的。”
You're voted in under your party banner," he added.
鉴于这项动议，他建议威尔士的该党成员应考虑脱离英格兰和威尔士绿党（GPEW），以便“作为威尔士政党独立发展”。戴维斯表示，他“希望他们在下个月的党代会上投票决定退出”。
He suggested that Welsh members of the party should consider splitting from the Green Party of England and Wales (GPEW) to "stand on our own two feet as a Welsh party" in light of the motion. Davies said he was "hoping they'll vote to leave" at their party conference next month.
在一条Instagram帖子中，戴维斯称自己并未受到尊重，也“没有从英格兰和威尔士绿党获得足够的支持”。
In an Instagram post, Davies said he had not been treated with respect or been "given enough support from the GPEW".
他补充道：“我时常感觉自己就像那个在关键时刻抱怨的‘象征性威尔士人’，但英格兰和威尔士绿党并未采取足够的行动。
He added: "I have often felt like the token Welshman moaning at various points, but have not seen enough action taken by GPEW.
“我还觉得，威尔士副领袖的职位被英格兰和威尔士绿党忽视，而非得到支持。”斯劳特上个月透露自己已被诊断出患有癌症，他表示，这位前同事为威尔士政治带来了“急需的新视角”。
"I also feel the position of Wales deputy leaders is ignored rather than supported by GPEW." Slaughter, who revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer last month, said his former colleague had brought a "much needed new perspective to Welsh politics".
他说：“无论他接下来采取什么行动，我都相信他将为威尔士的公共生活做出巨大贡献。
He said: "I am positive he will contribute a great deal to Welsh public life whatever his next steps are.
“尽管最近的动议并非菲尔辞职的唯一原因，但我知道这件事在党内引发了强烈情绪，大家纷纷表达了自己对此事的立场。”
"While the recent motion is not the only reason for Phil's resignation, I know it has stirred emotions across our party as people express their positions on this issue."
首席部长鲁恩·阿普·伊奥韦思周二表示，绿党的政策是“判断失误”的，并称自己一直主张两国解决方案。
First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth said on Tuesday that the Green Party policy was "ill-judged" saying that he had always advocated the two-state solution.
他是在回应威尔士改革党领袖海伦·詹纳的言论，后者指责“左翼政党”存在“令人作呕的反犹主义问题”。
He had been responding to Reform Wales leader Helen Jenner, who had accused "left-wing parties" of having a "sickening antisemitism problem".
阿普·伊奥韦思周二在威尔士议会发言时称，他始终主张两国解决方案，并“与威尔士的犹太社区并肩站在一起”。
Speaking in the Senedd on Tuesday, ap Iorwerth said he always advocated the two-state solution and stood "shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish communities in Wales".
