“政治候选人对以色列曾经那种条件反射式的支持，正日益成为一种累赘”当美国最著名的亲以色列游说团体——美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）于周三宣布将停止背书候选人或直接向其捐款时，其众多批评者迅速欢呼这一举动，视为AIPAC承认其品牌已变得多么有毒。
‘Political candidates’ once reflexive support for Israel has increasingly become a liability’ When the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the most prominent pro-Israel lobby group in the US, announced on Wednesday that it would stop endorsing candidates or make direct contributions to them, its many critics were quick to hail the development as Aipac’s admission of how toxic its brand had become.
这一宣布标志着一个重大逆转，凸显了美国公众对以色列的看法在最近这场加沙战争中发生了多么深刻的转变，以及政治候选人对以色列曾经那种条件反射式的支持，是如何日益成为一种累赘的。
The announcement marked a significant reversal that underscored just how profoundly US public opinion of Israel has shifted over the latest war in Gaza, and how political candidates’ once reflexive support for Israel has increasingly become a liability.
