国际特赦组织周一警告称，国家支持的以色列定居者暴力行为的大规模升级，旨在对被占领的约旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦人进行“种族清洗”，并表示这些袭击并非孤立事件，而是“以色列国的一项核心政策”。这个总部位于伦敦的人权组织呼吁各国对涉嫌严重违反国际法的以色列官员实施制裁，禁止与非法的以色列定居点开展贸易，并暂停向以色列供应武器和安保装备。
Amnesty International warned Monday that the massive escalation of state-backed Israeli occupier violence is aimed at “ethnically cleansing” Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, saying the attacks are not isolated incidents but a “central policy of the Israeli state.”The London-based rights group called on countries to impose sanctions on Israeli officials involved in serious violations of international law, ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements and halt the supply of weapons and security equipment to Israel.
该声明是在以色列定居者近日对西岸巴勒斯坦农民、欧洲外交官以及为《华盛顿邮报》工作的美国摄影记者发动袭击后发布的。
The statement came in response to attacks carried out by Israeli occupiers in recent days against Palestinian farmers in the West Bank, as well as European diplomats and an American photojournalist working for The Washington Post.
国际特赦组织中东和北非地区主任赫巴·莫拉耶夫表示：“国际特赦组织长期以来一直对国家主导的定居者针对巴勒斯坦人暴力的呈指数级增长发出警报，这种暴力一直试图通过制造恐怖的手段，将巴勒斯坦人从被占领的约旦河西岸进行种族清洗。”
“Amnesty International has long been sounding the alarm over the exponential rise in state-driven settler violence against Palestinians, which has sought, through terror-inspiring means, to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from the occupied West Bank,” said Heba Morayef, Amnesty International’s Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa.
她补充说：“这种暴力行为的加剧，是由于国际社会一再未能对促成持续压迫巴勒斯坦人的这一体制采取有意义的行动。”
“This rise of violence has been fuelled by the international community’s persistent failure to take meaningful action against the very system enabling the continued oppression of Palestinians,” she added.
莫拉耶夫说：“袭击不是孤立的行为，而是以色列国的一项核心政策。”
“Attacks are not isolated acts, but a central policy of the Israeli state,” Morayef said.
她敦促各国采取具体措施，履行其在国际法下的义务，并避免在针对巴勒斯坦人的违规和犯罪行为中成为共犯。
She urged states to take concrete measures to meet their obligations under international law and avoid complicity in violations and crimes against Palestinians.
国际特赦组织呼吁结束“所有助长维持非法占领、种族隔离和持续的种族清洗运动的贸易、投资和合作形式”。
Amnesty called for an end to all forms of trade, investment and cooperation “that contribute to maintaining the unlawful occupation, apartheid and the ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing.”
莫拉耶夫还批评了以色列高级官员和跨政治光谱的候选人试图将定居者的袭击描述为“少数个人的行为”的企图。
Morayef also criticized attempts by senior Israeli officials and election candidates across the political spectrum to portray attacks by occupiers “as the work of a few individuals.”
鉴于“国家资助的残酷行径”，她称这种描述是对真相的严重歪曲。她补充说：“这些袭击必须引起那些声称反对以色列吞并巴勒斯坦领土的国家的强烈回应。”
She called such portrayals a gross distortion of the truth in light of “state-sponsored brutality.”“These attacks must generate a strong response by states that claim to oppose Israel’s annexation of Palestinian territory,” she added.
自1967年以来，以色列一直占领着包括东耶路撒冷在内的约旦河西岸。根据国际法，被占领土上的以色列定居点是非法的。
Israel has occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 1967. Israeli settlements in the occupied territory are illegal under international law.
