英国-巴勒斯坦女性卢布娜·斯佩坦是本月早些时候由英格兰和威尔士绿党通过的“锡安主义即种族主义”动议的提出者，她表示自投票以来一直收到死亡和强奸威胁。
The British-Palestinian woman behind the Zionism is racism motion, passed by the Green Party of England and Wales earlier this month, says she has received death and rape threats since the vote.
周四接受半岛电视台采访时，绿党成员、艺术家兼活动家卢布娜·斯佩坦表示，她收到了数十条威胁性的社交媒体消息和电子邮件，并已向警方报案。
In an interview with Al Jazeera on Thursday, Green member Lubna Speitan, an artist and activist, said she has received dozens of threatening social media messages and emails, which she has reported to the police.
“这些威胁是可以预见的，”斯佩坦说，她认为这些威胁是来自亲以色列煽动者的一种“恐吓”形式。
“These threats were anticipated,” said Speitan, who believes they are a form of “intimidation” from pro-Israel agitators.
虽然“没有人愿意成为死亡威胁的接受者”，但她说“面对这些邪恶是必要的”。
While “no one wants to be on the receiving end of death threats”, she said it is “necessary to confront these evils”.
绿党在布赖顿的党大会上以1022票赞成、813票反对通过了该动议，但该动议几乎受到所有其他英国政党的批评，并给绿党带来了动荡。
The Greens passed the motion by 1,022 votes to 813 at their party conference in Brighton, but it has been criticised by virtually all other British political parties and has brought turmoil to the Greens.
该党的几位左翼议员批评了这一举动，周四，首相安迪·伯纳姆排除了与该党合作的可能性，称该动议“错误”和“反犹太主义”。
Several of its left-wing MPs have criticised the move, and on Thursday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham ruled out partnering with the party, calling the motion “wrong” and “anti-Semitic”.
该动议将锡安主义定义为犹太人对巴勒斯坦拥有历史主张的信念，并将其视为一种种族主义形式，这种种族主义建立在对巴勒斯坦人的剥夺和民族清洗之上。1917年，当英国宣布支持在该国建立犹太国时，巴勒斯坦人占总人口的90%以上。
The motion defines Zionism, the belief that Jews have a historic claim to Palestine, as a form of racism, predicated on the dispossession and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Palestinians made up more than 90 percent of the population in 1917, when Britain declared its support for a Jewish state in the country.
该动议支持巴勒斯坦人的自决权，并呼吁在历史上的巴勒斯坦地区为穆斯林和犹太人建立一个单一的民主国家。它还表示，反锡安主义不应等同于反犹太主义。“个人被污蔑”自以色列三年前对加沙发动种族灭绝战争以来，斯佩坦家族已有56名成员被杀害。
The motion supports Palestinians’ right to self-determination and calls for the establishment of a single democratic state in historic Palestine for Muslims and Jews. It also says that anti-Zionism should not be equated with anti-Semitism. ‘Personally smeared’
“锡安主义被明确定义为一个民族主义定居者殖民项目。该动议还正确地认识到，并非所有犹太人都是锡安主义者，也并非所有锡安主义者都是犹太人，”她说。“它针对的是一种意识形态：锡安主义。”她补充说，她曾被媒体“个人污名化”。
Fifty-six members of Speitan’s family have been killed since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza three years ago. “Zionism is defined clearly as an ethnonationalist settler-colonial project. The motion also recognises, correctly, that not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews,” she said. “It targets an ideology: Zionism.”
英国媒体的近期头条曾声称她是一名“基地组织恐怖分子”的“朋友”，因为据报道她曾提出为英国公民明光·法姆作证辩护，该人曾策划在希思罗机场发动袭击。
She added that she has been “personally smeared” by media outlets.
“这种以关联定罪的手段不值得我作出回应，”斯佩坦对这些报道如是说。
Recent headlines in the British press have claimed she was “friends” with an “al-Qaeda terrorist”, as she reportedly offered to testify in defence of Minh Quang Pham, a UK citizen who had planned an attack at Heathrow Airport.
英格兰和威尔士绿党向半岛电视台表示，斯佩坦在党内“除了是一名党员之外，不担任任何其他职务”。
“This tactic of guilt by association will not be dignified with a response,” Speitan said of the reports.
“绿党对这类指控始终高度重视。当党员表达的观点与党的价值观不符时，我们有内部程序进行调查，目前调查正在进行中，”该党表示。
The Green Party of England and Wales told Al Jazeera that Speitan holds no party positions “other than being a member”.
媒体监督机构NewsCord在审查了该动议的报道后得出结论：反对该决议的声音获得的媒体曝光是支持者的10倍。
“The Green Party takes all allegations of this nature seriously. Where members have expressed views that do not fit in with the party’s values, we have internal processes to investigate, and an investigation is under way,” it said.
绿党并非首个将锡安主义视为一种种族主义形式的西方政治机构。1975年，联合国大会通过了一项决议，宣称锡安主义是一种种族主义意识形态。72个国家投了赞成票，35个国家投了反对票，32个国家弃权。该决议后来在1991年被废除。
Media watchdog NewsCord, which reviewed coverage of the motion, concluded that opponents of the resolution received 10 times more coverage than its supporters. The Green Party is not the first Western political institution to classify Zionism as a form of racism In 1975, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution declaring that Zionism was a racist ideology. Seventy-two countries voted in favour of the motion, while 35 opposed it and 32 abstained. The resolution was later repealed in 1991.
