美国首位当选参议员的穆斯林裔美国人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德周四表示支持唐纳德·特朗普总统关于削减对以色列援助的言论，称华盛顿应停止为一支被指控用美国武器犯下暴行的军队提供资金。
Abdul El-Sayed, the first Muslim American elected to the US Senate, voiced support Thursday for President Donald Trump’s remarks about cutting aid to Israel, saying Washington should stop financing a military accused of committing atrocities with American weapons.
埃尔-赛义德对MS NOW表示，他同意特朗普的立场，并愿意与总统合作，终止美国对以色列的军事援助。
El-Sayed told MS NOW that he agreed with Trump’s position and was willing to work with the president to end US military assistance to Israel.
“我同意他的观点。我不认为我们应该继续补贴一支用我们的钱干了最坏事的外国军队。我同意。我非常乐意与他合作做这件事，”他说。
“I agree with him on that. I don't think we should be continuing to subsidize a foreign military that had done the worst things with our money. I agree. I would love to work with him on doing that,” he said.
周二当选的埃尔-赛义德强调，有必要将犹太教和犹太人同以色列的行动区分开来，并拒绝将对以色列的批评描绘为仇恨犹太人。
El-Sayed, who was elected on Tuesday, stressed the need to distinguish Judaism and Jewish people from the actions of Israel, and rejected attempts to portray criticism of Israel as hatred of Jews.
他指出以色列在被占约旦河西岸的政策以及对加沙地带基本资源获取的限制，重申了他将这场战争定性为种族灭绝的表述。
He pointed to Israel’s policies in the occupied West Bank and restrictions on access to basic resources in the Gaza Strip, reiterating his characterization of the war as genocide.
“我们被告知，如果你想站出来反对谋杀无辜的巴勒斯坦儿童，那 somehow 就是对任何人的仇恨，”这位当选参议员说。“这是关于对那些巴勒斯坦儿童平等的爱。”埃尔-赛义德还表示，他致力于保护美国的犹太儿童和家庭，这源于他作为一名穆斯林父母对自己孩子安全的担忧。
“We're told that if you want to stand up against the murder of innocent Palestinian children, that's somehow about hate for anybody,” said the senator-elect. “It's about equal love for those Palestinian children.”El-Sayed also said he was committed to protecting Jewish children and families in the US, drawing on his experiences as a Muslim parent concerned about his children's safety.
关于特朗普，埃尔-赛义德表示愿意与任何人合作，认为政治应聚焦于维护法治、为美国公众谋福利，而非政治报复。
On Trump, El-Sayed said he was willing to work with anyone, arguing that politics should focus on enforcing the rule of law and delivering for the American public rather than political retribution.
“我想谈谈某件事，因为我认为人们把我们的政治看作一种游戏，你在其中对另一方进行报复，”他说。
“I want to talk about something because I think people see our politics as this game where you get retribution on the other side,” he said.
“这不关乎报复。永远不应关乎报复。这关乎维护法治，最重要的是，为美国公众谋福利。”
“It's not about retribution. It should never be about retribution. It's about enforcing the rule of law and, most importantly, delivering for the American public.”
