周四，参议员伯尼·桑德斯（I-佛蒙特州）与美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）因该政治行动委员会向共和党密歇根州参议员候选人迈克·罗杰斯捐款一事在网上发生争执。
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) feuded online Thursday over donations from the PAC to Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
“AIPAC现在花费多达900万美元反对阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德。AIPAC是我们在伊朗陷入战争的原因。AIPAC是美国支持加沙地带种族灭绝的原因。我们必须对AIPAC说不，”桑德斯在社交平台上发帖称。“支持埃尔-赛义德当选密歇根州下一任联邦参议员，”这位佛蒙特州参议员补充道。AIPAC发帖回应桑德斯，嘲讽这位参议员的言论。
“AIPAC is now spending as much as $9 million against Abdul El-Sayed. AIPAC is why we’re at war in Iran. AIPAC is why the U.S. has supported genocide in Gaza. We must say NO to AIPAC,” Sanders said in a post on the social platform“YES to electing Abdul as Michigan’s next U.S. Senator,” the Vermont senator added. AIPAC responded to Sanders with a post mocking the senator’s comments.
“AIPAC是你的幻想橄榄球队表现糟糕的原因。AIPAC是天气糟糕的原因。AIPAC是你需要一个应用程序来停车的原因。对伯尼执着的替罪羊式指责说不，”AIPAC的帖子称。“支持一个与盟友合作创造美国就业岗位、维护美国安全、推广民主价值观的美国。”埃尔-赛义德是密歇根州的民主党参议员提名人，曾表示反对美国对以色列提供援助。美国对以色列的支持问题在过去几年里在美国政治中占据显著地位，特别是在哈马斯2023年10月7日袭击以色列以及随后加沙战争爆发后。
“AIPAC is why your fantasy football team stinks. AIPAC is why the weather is bad. AIPAC is why you need an app to park. Say NO to Bernie’s obsessive scapegoating,” AIPAC’s post said. “YES to an America that works with our ally to create U.S. jobs, keep America safe, and promote democratic values.”El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, has expressed opposition to U.S. aid to Israel. The issue of American support for Israel has had significant prominence in U.S. politics in the past few years, especially with Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel and the war in Gaza that followed.
许多人谴责以色列在加沙地带的行动是“种族灭绝”，冲突中数万巴勒斯坦人丧生，该领土经历大规模基础设施破坏和人道主义危机。
Many have decried Israel’s actions in Gaza as a “genocide,” with the tens of thousands of Palestinians being killed in the conflict and the territory experiencing mass infrastructure destruction and a humanitarian crisis.
《纽约时报》周三报道称，据两名消息人士透露，AIPAC最近开始向支持罗杰斯的一个超级政治行动委员会捐款，目标可能是提供数百万美元资金。
The New York Times reported Wednesday that AIPAC had recently begun giving money to a super PAC backing Rogers, aiming to possibly give millions of dollars, two sources told the outlet.
