贝埃里10月26日电——加尔·科恩沿着一面纪念墙缓缓前行，墙上镌刻着2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击其基布兹时遇害的男女老少的名字。对科恩而言，那个当时并至今仍领导以色列的人可能在周二连任，这一想法令他痛苦不已。
BE'ERI, Oct 26 - Gal Cohen walks along a memorial wall engraved with the names of the men, women and children slain in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on his kibbutz. For him, the idea that the man leading Israel, then and since, may be re-elected on Tuesday is painful.
他所在的贝埃里基布兹，十分之一的居民死于哈马斯的突袭，遇难者计入以色列当天共1200名死者之中。数十名居民则在被劫持至加沙的251名人质之列。那是以色列历史上最血腥的单日。
One-in-ten residents of his kibbutz, Be'eri, were among the 1,200 people killed in Hamas' surprise attack. Dozens were among the 251 taken hostage to Gaza. It was Israel's deadliest single day.
61岁的科恩表示，总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡本应承担责任并辞职，他却完成了一个完整任期，这简直是一记耳光。科恩说，周二的选举对以色列至关重要。
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should have taken responsibility and stepped down, said Cohen, 61, and the fact that he has fulfilled a full term in office is a slap in the face. Tuesday's election, he said, is critical for Israel.
“如果这届政府留任，许多人的心和意志都会破碎。要继续下去将非常艰难，”科恩说。
"If this government will stay, many hearts and minds will be broken. It will be really hard to continue," said Cohen.
许多内塔尼亚胡的反对者视此次选举为契机，终于能让几代人以来最严重的安全失误迎来迟到的清算。但即便以色列任职时间最长的总理失去多数席位，他也很可能逃脱对手寻求的决定性判决。
Many of Netanyahu's opponents see the election as an opportunity at last to deliver a long-postponed reckoning for the worst security failure in generations. But even if Israel's longest-serving prime minister loses his majority, he could well escape the decisive verdict his foes are seeking.
内塔尼亚胡拒绝为防线被突破承担责任，并抵制针对独立调查的呼吁。他坚持认为，以色列在加沙对哈马斯、在黎巴嫩和伊朗对其盟友的战争，将带来一个更和平的中东。
Netanyahu has rejected blame for the breach and resisted calls for an independent investigation. He maintains that Israel's wars against Hamas in Gaza and its allies in Lebanon and Iran will result in a more peaceful Middle East.
内塔尼亚胡在竞选途中表示，只有推翻伊朗的神职统治者，任务才算完成，而只有他具备实现这一目标的信念和地位。
The task will be complete only with the downfall of Iran's clerical rulers, Netanyahu has said on the campaign trail, and only he has the conviction and standing to deliver.
民意调查已连续数月预测，内塔尼亚胡领导的利库德集团支持率将大幅下滑。但一个汇聚右翼、左翼和中间派、旨在将其赶下台的竞争对手政党联盟，同样没有清晰的执政路径，这预示着数月的政治僵局，内塔尼亚胡有可能继续掌舵看守政府。“向右转两下”2023年10月7日袭击发生后的几天里，贝埃里基布兹到处是巡逻的以色列士兵，他们穿行在烧毁、破碎的房屋间，地板上染着血迹，门上留着弹孔。在一些地方，尸体的腐臭仍弥漫在空气中。炮火声和以色列战机飞越加沙的轰鸣声持续不断。
Opinion polls have for months predicted a sharp drop for Netanyahu's Likud party. But a rival alliance of parties on the right, left and centre looking to unseat him also has no clear path to power, suggesting months of political stalemate with Netanyahu potentially at the helm of a caretaker government. 'TWO CLICKS TO THE RIGHT' In the days after October 7, Be'eri was crawling with Israeli soldiers patrolling through burnt and shattered homes, floors stained with blood, doors pierced with bullet holes. In some spots, the stench of dead bodies still hung in the air. The sounds of shelling and Israeli war planes flying over Gaza were incessant.
三年过去，基布兹已恢复运转，郁郁葱葱的园区四周回荡着全新房屋建设的声音。大多数成员目前居住在另一个基布兹，预计将在夏季前返回。
Three years on, the kibbutz is up and running and the sounds of construction of brand-new houses are heard all around the leafy green grounds. Most members, now residing in another kibbutz, are expected to return by summer.
这个成立于1946年的集体社区，现有约1000名居民，体现了以色列建国早期几十年主导政治的社会主义价值观。在2022年上一次大选中，贝埃里几乎所有选票都投给了中左翼政党，仅约4%的选票投给了内塔尼亚胡领导的民族宗教联盟中的政党。
A collective community established in 1946, now with around 1,000 residents, Be'eri exemplifies the socialist values that dominated Israel's politics in its early decades. Nearly all its votes went to the centre-left in the previous 2022 election, when only around 4% voted for parties in Netanyahu's nationalist-religious coalition.
这次袭击让居民开始质疑长期以来的观点，即这一代人有可能与巴勒斯坦人实现和平。
The attack has made residents question longstanding views that there could be peace with the Palestinians in this generation.
“贝埃里的每个人都向右转了两格。但我仍认为，我们大多数人会继续支持反对派，即那些想要取代现政府的政党，”他说。
"Everyone in Be'eri has made two clicks to the right. But I still think that most of us will stay with the opposition, the parties that want to replace this government," he said.
48岁的米里·加德·梅西卡是贝埃里第三代居民，尚未决定如何投票。但她不会投给内塔尼亚胡。
Miri Gad Messika, 48, third generation in Be'eri, hasn't yet decided how to vote. But it won't be for Netanyahu.
“他在领导人职位上失败了太多次。他不应该再从政了，”她说。“我在寻找一位领导人。遗憾的是，目前我难以在以色列看到任何领导人。”她补充道：“我想保持乐观，我只能期待更好的改变。”“希望比痛苦更强大”过去三年中的大部分时间，对内塔尼亚胡政府的反对力量聚集在被带往加沙的人质家属周围，其中一些家属指责政府推卸责任，为争取亲人获释做得太少。
"He failed as a leader so many times. And he shouldn't be in politics anymore," she said. "I'm looking for a leader. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to see any leader in Israel at the moment." "I want to be optimistic," she added, "and I can only hope for a better change." 'HOPE IS STRONGER THAN PAIN' Through much of the past three years, opposition to the Netanyahu government gravitated around families of hostages taken to Gaza, some of whom accused the government of dodging responsibility and doing too little to secure their freedom.
特拉维夫的一处开放空间被称为“人质广场”，这里持续举行集会和守夜活动。尽管最后一批人质是在一年前达成的美国斡旋停火协议下获释的，但这些家属仍是当下最显著地呼吁追责的人群之一。
A Tel Aviv open space came to be known as "Hostages Square", site of constant rallies and vigils. Although the last of the hostages were released under a US-brokered ceasefire reached a year ago, the families are still among those most prominently calling for accountability now.
“我看不出这个政府再次竞选连任有任何合法理由，”奥弗里·比巴斯说。她年幼的侄子、一名4岁男童和一名9个月大的婴儿，连同他们的母亲一起在加沙被关押期间遇害。他们的父亲、奥弗里的哥哥亚登·比巴斯在2025年初的停火中获释。
"I don't see any legitimate reason why this government is running again for election," said Ofri Bibas, whose young nephews, a 4-year-old and a 9-month-old, were slain in captivity in Gaza along with their mother. Their father, Ofri's brother Yarden, was released in an early 2025 truce.
比巴斯说，她现在的目标是让每个以色列人都铭记10月7日，“把这记忆带到选举日，记住这里发生了什么，以及谁至今仍未承担责任。”周六，数千名以色列人在人质广场集会。发言人之一是丹妮尔·阿洛尼，她和5岁的女儿从尼尔奥兹被绑架，几周后在短暂停火期间从加沙获释。
Bibas said her goal now is to make every Israeli remember October 7, "to take it with them to the day of the election and remember what happened here and who still hasn't taken responsibility." On Saturday, thousands of Israelis rallied in Hostages Square. One of the speakers was Danielle Alony, who was kidnapped from Nir Oz with her 5-year-old daughter and freed from Gaza in a brief truce weeks later.
“去投票，”阿洛尼敦促人群。“三天后，我们可以开始为我们的孩子书写新的篇章。一个真理强于恐惧、责任强于失职、希望强于痛苦的篇章。” 路透社
"Go vote," Alony urged the crowd. "In three days we can start writing a new chapter for our children. One in which truth is stronger than fear, responsibility stronger than dereliction and hope is stronger than pain." REUTERS
