在特拉维夫附近的巴特亚姆,一栋不起眼建筑二楼一间普通公寓里,约20人聚集参加竞选会议,并收到了礼物。有人拿到了国家安全部长、极右翼宗教政党“犹太力量”(Otzma Yehudit)领军候选人伊塔马尔·本-格维尔(Itamar Ben-Gvir)的卡通玩偶;也有人收到印有本-格维尔照片的枪形开瓶器,暗示自2023年10月7日以来,他已向犹太以色列人发放了数十万张枪支许可证。
The roughly 20 people gathered for a campaign meeting in a modest apartment on the second floor of an unremarkable building in Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, received gifts. Some were given a cartoonish figurine of Itamar Ben-Gvir, the national security minister and lead candidate for the far-right religious list Otzma Yehudit ("Jewish Power"). Others received a gun-shaped bottle opener featuring Ben-Gvir's photo on the handle, a reminder of the hundreds of thousands of gun permits he has issued to Jewish Israelis since October 7, 2023.
这奠定了活动的基调。演讲者是塔利·戈特利夫(Tally Gotliv),她曾是总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)利库德集团(Likud)的议员(MP),现为本-格维尔名单上的二号候选人。这位活动家兼前律师、梦想出任司法部长的人说道:“我们在加沙消灭了数千名恐怖分子。敌人不在乎,他不计算死亡人数。你想杀多少就杀多少,他不介意。你必须用敌人听得懂的语言说话。胜利与投降,取决于你从他们手中夺取了多少土地!”
That set the tone for the event. The speeches were delivered by Tally Gotliv, a former MP for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, who is now number two on Ben-Gvir's list. "We have eliminated thousands of terrorists in Gaza. The enemy doesn't care, he doesn't count his dead. You can kill as many as you want, he doesn't mind. You have to speak the enemy's language. Victory and surrender are measured by the land you take from them!" said the activist and former lawyer, who dreams of becoming justice minister.
戈特利夫是这场所有领军候选人均为男性的竞选中,唯一出现在竞选海报上的女性,她体现了以色列右翼与极右翼界限的模糊。内塔尼亚胡于2022年促成右翼与极右翼联合,凭借被视为该国历史上最激进的联盟赢得执政权。
Gotliv, the only woman featured on campaign posters in a race where all lead candidates are men, embodies the blurred boundaries between the right and far right in Israel. Netanyahu engineered the union of the right and far right in 2022 to win power thanks to a coalition considered the most radical in the country's history.
