数百名亲巴勒斯坦示威者周六在美国国会大厦外集会，要求结束以色列在加沙地带的种族灭绝，并对以色列实施美国武器禁运和制裁。
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied outside the US Capitol on Saturday to demand an end to Israel's genocide in the Gaza Strip as well as a US arms embargo and sanctions on Israel.
示威者挥舞着巴勒斯坦旗帜，举着大型标语牌，谴责加沙的种族灭绝和以色列对巴勒斯坦领土的占领。一些标语牌指出美国战争的经济成本，将军费开支与国内高物价和低工资联系起来。
Protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried large signs denouncing the genocide in Gaza and Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Some signs drew attention to the economic costs of US wars, linking military spending to high prices and low wages at home.
此次集会和游行由巴勒斯坦青年运动及其他亲巴勒斯坦团体组织，标志着以色列于2023年10月发动加沙军事行动已满三年。
Organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement and other pro-Palestinian groups, the rally and march marked three years since the start of Israel's military offensive in Gaza in October 2023.
组织者呼吁对华盛顿施加新的压力，因其对以色列的军事和外交支持，要求对以色列实施“绝对的武器禁运和制裁”。
Urging renewed pressure on Washington for its military and diplomatic support for Israel, organizers demanded an “absolute arms embargo and sanctions” on Israel.
巴勒斯坦青年运动的努哈德·阿卡尔向安纳多卢通讯社表示，示威者决心让民选官员为美国对以色列的军事援助承担责任。
Nouhad Akkar of the Palestinian Youth Movement told Anadolu that the demonstrators are determined to hold elected officials accountable for US military assistance to Israel.
她说：“我们不会让这种种族灭绝被正常化。”“我们正向加沙的人民、该地区的人民传递一个信息：我们将继续为他们而战，不仅是为了结束种族灭绝，而是直到实现完全解放和返回。”阿卡尔还呼吁公共机构撤资，停止投资向以色列供应武器的公司。她表示，她的团体正在为弗吉尼亚州的州退休系统开展运动，该州许多华盛顿联邦政府雇员居住在此，要求其撤出超过3.94亿美元投资于这些公司的养老金。
“We will not let this genocide be normalized,” she said. “We are sending a message to our people in Gaza, to our people in the region, that we will continue to fight for them, not just for an end to the genocide, but until total liberation and return.”Akkar also urged public institutions to divest from weapons manufacturers supplying Israel. She said her group is campaigning for the state retirement system in Virginia, where many Washington federal government workers live, to withdraw more than $394 million in pension investments in such companies.
她说：“我们希望看到民选官员站出来，反对这笔资金的投资。”“这些不是孤立的悲剧”全国伊朗裔美国人委员会的伊莎贝拉·贾维丹将以色列在加沙的军事行动与黎巴嫩和伊朗的军事行动联系起来，指责美国立法者和国防承包商助长了该地区的暴力。
“We would like to see elected officials take a stand against the investment of this money,” she said. ‘These are not isolated tragedies’Isabella Javidan of the National Iranian American Council linked Israel's offensive in Gaza to military operations in Lebanon and Iran, accusing US lawmakers and defense contractors of enabling violence across the region.
这些不是孤立的悲剧。它们不是分离的；它们是同一帝国主义项目的表达，”她对人群说。
“These are not isolated tragedies. They are not separate; they are expressions of the same imperialist project,” she told the crowd.
贾维丹表示，国会议员们“反复选择死亡而非外交，选择军事统治而非基本人类尊严，选择战争产业的利益而非数百万人的生命。”她说，立法者应认识到，关于武器运输、军事资金和制裁的决定对平民有后果。
Javidan said members of Congress have “repeatedly chosen death over diplomacy, military domination over basic human dignity, and the interests of the war industry over the lives of millions.”She said lawmakers should recognize that decisions on weapons shipments, military funding, and sanctions have consequences for civilians.
在示威者中，埃里克·W. 要求只使用他的名字，他告诉阿纳多卢通讯社，他反对政客们以犹太裔美国人的安全为由为武装以色列辩护。
Among the demonstrators, Erik W., who requested that only his first name be used, told Anadolu that he opposes politicians invoking the safety of Jewish Americans to justify arming Israel.
“就我个人而言，作为一名犹太裔美国人，我觉得政府里有很多人在代我发言，并为武装种族灭绝辩护，”他说。
“For me personally, as a Jewish American, I feel like there are a lot of people in government who are speaking on my behalf and are justifying arming a genocide,” he said.
“我认为武装以色列并不能反击反犹太主义，”他补充道，认为以色列的行动正在损害人们对犹太教的看法。
“I think arming Israel does not combat antisemitism,” he added, arguing that Israel's actions are harming perceptions of Judaism.
他的标语牌上写着：“以我们的名义，不容种族灭绝。”他要求立即实施武器禁运，并敦促人们不要回避将加沙的事件描述为种族灭绝和民族清洗。
His sign read: “No genocide in our name.”He demanded an immediate arms embargo and urged people not to shy away from describing events in Gaza as genocide and ethnic cleansing.
巴勒斯坦政治人物穆斯塔法·巴尔古蒂和作家杰哈德·阿布萨利姆的讨论原定于游行之后进行。
A discussion with Palestinian political figure Mustafa Barghouti and writer Jehad Abusalim was scheduled to follow the march.
此次抗议集会在美国国会中期选举（11月3日）前几周举行，届时国会议员必须投票批准任何对以色列的军事援助。
The protest rally took place just weeks before Nov. 3 midterm elections for the US Congress, whose lawmakers must vote to approve any military aid to Israel.
此次选举正值美国公众对以色列行动的不满日益增长，以及对华盛顿对以色列“照常营业”支持的强烈呼吁结束之时。
The elections are coming amid growing US public disapproval of Israel’s actions, as well as loud calls for an end to Washington's “business as usual” support for Israel.
