2026年10月5日，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在耶路撒冷出席纪念2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列受害者的仪式。

拉斐尔·格鲁克斯曼当时哑口无言。在9月23日左翼初选的首场辩论中，这位法国温和左翼人士被其社会党对手塞戈莱娜·罗亚尔逼问是否使用“种族灭绝”一词。格鲁克斯曼似乎对罗亚尔的指控感到不安，罗亚尔在10月4日周日的第二场辩论中，在社会党领导人奥利维尔·福尔的支持下重复了这一攻击。然而几个月来，“种族灭绝”这个词——所有罪行中的罪行——已被一些政治领导人用来描述以色列为报复10月7日大屠杀而在巴勒斯坦飞地进行的毁灭性战争，并已成为一个政治标志。
Raphaël Glucksmann was left speechless. The figure from France's moderate left was pressed by his Socialist opponent Ségolène Royal to use the word "genocide" during the first debates of the left-wing primary on September 23 Glucksmann appeared unsettled by the charge led by Royal, who repeated the offensive with support from the head of the Socialists, Olivier Faure, during the second debate on Sunday, October 4. Yet for months now, that word – "genocide," the crime of all crimes – used by some political leaders to describe Israel's war of destruction in the Palestinian enclave in retaliation for the October 7 massacre, has become a political marker.
在实质问题上，这两位政治家立场一致。作为2027年总统大选的两位潜在候选人，他们共同谴责了以色列政府对加沙人的犯罪行为，并对西岸定居点的强行扩张表示愤慨。但由激进左翼“不屈法国”（LFI）和一个将其视为道德事业的青年运动所挥舞的“种族灭绝”一词，现在在左翼内部划出了一条分界线。
On substance, the two politicians are aligned. Both potential candidates in the 2027 presidential election have jointly denounced the criminal actions of the Israeli government toward Gazans and have expressed outrage at the forced expansion of settlements in the West Bank. But the term "genocide," brandished by radical-left La France Insoumise (LFI) and a youth movement making it a moral cause, now draws a dividing line within the left.
