在激烈的以色列大选投票前几天，竞选活动已进入白热化阶段，充斥着恶俗的讽刺和针对候选人的煽动性攻击，有时甚至触及红线。
Days ahead of close-fought Israeli elections, campaigns have gone into overdrive with poor-taste jibes and inflammatory attacks against candidates, sometimes crossing red lines.
部分由于AI生成图像在社交媒体上泛滥，候选人和活动人士试图将对手描绘成软弱、不可信或对国家有害的形象，利用刻板印象和恐惧来左右舆论。
Fuelled in part by a boom in AI-generated images flooding social media, candidates and activists are seeking to portray their opponents as weak, untrustworthy or damaging for the country as they play on stereotypes and fears to sway public opinion.
竞选活动有时变得针对个人，甚至有些在2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击后的战争中失去亲人的候选人，其丧亲之痛也被拖入竞选漩涡。
The electioneering has at times turned personal, with some candidates who lost loved ones in the wars following Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack even having their bereavement dragged into the campaign.
在周二投票前夕，民调显示，总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的阵营与其主要中右翼对手加迪·艾森科特的阵营势均力敌。
Ahead of Tuesday’s vote, polls show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc neck and neck with that of his main centre-right rival Gadi Eisenkot.
נתניהו, רק בריאות והצלחה באזרחות. 10月21日，2026年，周三，艾森科特在社交媒体上发布了一段视频，祝内塔尼亚胡77岁生日快乐，视频中出现了一系列AI生成的角色，包括一名从隧道中发声的哈马斯成员。
נתניהו, רק בריאות והצלחה באזרחות.
“我们能为保护了我们20年的人许什么愿？”这名武装分子说道，这呼应了总理故意帮助伊斯兰主义运动维持在加沙统治的理论指控，内塔尼亚胡对此予以强烈否认。
October 21, 2026 On Wednesday, Eisenkot posted a video on social media wishing Netanyahu a happy 77th birthday that featured a slate of AI-generated characters including a Hamas member speaking from a tunnel. “What can we wish for the person who has been protecting us for 20 years?” the militant says, evoking theories that the prime minister has deliberately helped the Islamist movement stay in power in Gaza, charges vehemently denied by Netanyahu.
随即，伊朗最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊的AI形象出现，对内塔尼亚胡说：“再来一轮不胜利，我就送你一颗炸弹当礼物。”内塔尼亚胡也大量利用AI生成内容攻击对手。
Soon after, an AI depiction of Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei pops up, telling Netanyahu: “One more round without victory and I’ll make you a bomb as a present.”Netanyahu has also liberally weaponised AI-generated content against his rival.
7月，他发布了一段视频，描绘艾森科特拒绝了一名身穿印有“以色列团结”标语T恤的年轻人的拥抱，转而拥抱阿拉伯裔以色列候选人曼苏尔·阿巴斯。
In July, he posted a video depicting Eisenkot rejecting a hug from a young man wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “Israel unity” and instead embracing Arab-Israeli candidate Mansour Abbas.
该视频引发广泛愤怒，因为有人指控视频中的年轻人被制作得酷似艾森科特2023年在加沙战斗中阵亡的儿子，内塔尼亚胡所在政党否认了这一指控。
The clip sparked widespread outrage over claims the young man had been made to resemble Eisenkot’s son who was killed fighting in Gaza in 2023, something Netanyahu’s party denied.
在13频道播出的采访中，艾森科特表示，观看视频后，他对内塔尼亚胡及其随从感到“深深的鄙视”。
In an interview broadcast by Channel 13, Eisenkot said he had felt “deep contempt for Netanyahu and his entourage” after watching the video.
内塔尼亚胡阵营在整个竞选期间利用人工智能，煽动人们对可能包含阿拉伯裔以色列政党的反对派联盟的恐惧。
Netanyahu’s camp has used AI throughout the campaign to stoke fears over a possible opposition coalition including Arab-Israeli parties.
相关视频片段内容不一，有犹太反对派政客摘下面具露出阿拉伯裔以色列候选人的面孔，也有阿拉伯人高耸于疑似摇摇欲坠的议会大楼之上。
Clips have ranged from Jewish opposition politicians taking off masks to reveal Arab-Israeli candidates underneath, to Arabs looming over what appears to be a crumbling parliament building.
印有“右翼还是巴勒斯坦”字样、并配有阿拉伯裔以色列政客面孔的内塔尼亚胡利库德集团竞选广告牌，也在全国各地涌现。
Billboards for Netanyahu’s Likud party with the phrase “The Right or Palestine” alongside the faces of Arab-Israeli politicians have also sprung up across the country.
“这是煽动，尤其是来自内塔尼亚胡总理阵营的煽动，”范利尔耶路撒冷研究所区域思维论坛负责人泰伊尔·阿布·拉斯说。
“It’s incitement, especially from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s camp,” said Thair Abu Ras, head of the Forum for Regional Thinking at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute.
“在右翼眼中，阿拉伯政党进入联合政府这一整个概念都是非法的，他们正试图将这种思维方式强加给艾森科特联盟，”他说。
“This whole notion of having an Arab party in the coalition is illegitimate in the eyes of the right-wing and they’re trying to enforce that kind of way of thinking on the Eisenkot coalition as well,” he said.
显然，作为摩洛哥犹太人之子的艾森科特，也遭到了带有种族色彩的攻击。
Apparently racialised comments have been levelled at Eisenkot, the son of Moroccan Jews.
本月，亲内塔尼亚胡的14频道电视台一位资深评论员称他为“一只猴子”。
This month, a senior commentator on the pro-Netanyahu Channel 14 television station described him as “a monkey”.
虽然该词在希伯来语中不一定是种族歧视用语，但该言论仍引来反对派政客和内塔尼亚胡本人的广泛谴责。这是哈马斯2023年10月袭击以来的首次选举。
While the term is not necessarily a racial slur in Hebrew, the remark drew widespread condemnation from opposition politicians and from Netanyahu himself. The election is the first since Hamas’s October 2023 attack.
一些候选人的命运因那一天或随后的战争而改变，但创伤或丧亲之痛并未能让他们免受人身攻击。
A number of candidates are people whose lives were transformed that day or in the wars that followed, but trauma or bereavement has not spared them from personal attacks.
拉利·德拉伊的儿子于2024年在加沙作战时阵亡，她正代表新成立的极右翼“阿姆查以色列党”参选，该党主张全民服役——由于宗教学生享有豁免权，这一问题日益引发争议。
Laly Derai, whose son was killed fighting in Gaza in 2024, is running for the new far-right Amcha Israel party, which advocates universal conscription into the Israeli military – an increasingly contentious issue due to exemptions for religious students.
她表示，自己面临一场有组织的抹黑运动，该运动有时援引其儿子的死，并指责她背叛了儿子的记忆。
She says she has faced a coordinated smear campaign against her, which has at times invoked her son’s death and accusations that she is betraying his memory.
呼吁她退出竞选、以免“让国家陷入危险”的海报，出现在她居住的约旦河西岸被占领土定居点周边地区。
Posters calling for her to withdraw her candidacy so as not to “put the country in danger” have sprung up in the area around the settlement where she lives in the occupied West Bank.
“他们试图击垮我，但具有讽刺意味的是——或者说并不讽刺——这场运动反而坚定了我进入政坛的决定，正是为了终结这种充满仇恨的言论，”她说。
“They’re trying to break me but, paradoxically or not, this campaign has reinforced my decision to enter politics precisely to put an end to this hate-filled rhetoric,” she said.
在接受公共广播机构KAN采访时，她说自己收到“全天候的电话骚扰，社交媒体上的恶毒留言，我们城镇里张贴的标语，包括在孩子们校车站点附近——所有这些仅仅因为我们胆敢提出一些新东西”。曾被哈马斯扣押的人质的亲属也成了攻击目标。
Speaking to public broadcaster KAN, she said she had received “phone calls at all hours of the day and night, disgusting comments on social media, signs posted in our towns, including near our children’s school buses – all of this just because we dared to propose something new”. Relatives of hostages formerly held by Hamas have also been caught in the crosshairs.
周二，内塔尼亚胡领导的利库德集团支持者的一个非官方Facebook页面发布了一张图片，将一位前人质母亲与另一位对立起来。
On an unofficial Facebook page for supporters of Netanyahu’s Likud party, an image was posted on Tuesday pitting one mother of a former hostage against another.
图中，利库德集团候选人塔利克·格维利在以色列国旗背景下显得镇定自若，而批评内塔尼亚胡的埃纳夫·赞加乌克则显得歇斯底里，周围是被染成红色的抗议者。配文写道：“要么是我们，要么是他们。”
One mother, Likud candidate Talik Gvili, looks calm against the backdrop of an Israeli flag, while Einav Zangauker – a vocal critic of Netanyahu – looks frenzied around protesters tinted in red. “It is us or them,” the caption reads.
