Green Party members have adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism, in a move that has divided senior figures at the top of the party.
绿党成员通过了一项动议，宣布犹太复国主义是一种种族主义，此举在该党高层中产生了分歧。
The party's joint deputy leaders have been at odds over the subject, with Mothin Ali backing the move, and Rachel Millward describing the wording as "problematic".
该党的联合副领导人在这个问题上存在分歧，莫辛·阿里支持此举，雷切尔·米尔沃德称这一措辞“有问题”。
Activists endorsed the policy motion, which was put forward by a group of members at the party's conference in Brighton, by 1022 votes to 813.
活动人士以 1022 票对 813 票支持了由一群成员在布莱顿举行的党内会议上提出的政策动议。
Discussion about the vote has dominated the conference, and exposed divisions between the party's newly enlarged membership base under leader Zack Polanski and its MPs elected at the last election.
有关投票的讨论主导了会议，并暴露了该党在领导人扎克·波兰斯基(Zack Polanski)领导下新扩大的党员基础与上次选举中选出的议员之间的分歧。
The motion adopted by Green members defines Zionism as an ideology in support of "an ethnonationalist Jewish state" and backs a "single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine".
绿党成员通过的动议将犹太复国主义定义为一种支持“民族主义犹太国家”的意识形态，并支持“在整个历史巴勒斯坦建立一个单一民主的巴勒斯坦国”。
"The real, material, manifestation of Zionism has been the historic and ongoing dehumanisation, displacement, dispossession, disenfranchisement and destruction of Palestinians," it says.
报告称：“犹太复国主义的真实、物质表现是对巴勒斯坦人历史性且持续的非人化、流离失所、剥夺、剥夺公民权和毁灭。”
It has attracted criticism from some Jewish groups, including the Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council who wrote a letter to the party ahead of the vote.
它引起了一些犹太团体的批评，包括众议院委员会和犹太领导委员会，他们在投票前给该党写了一封信。
In a statement on Sunday evening, the organisations called the motion an "attack on the Jewish community".
在周日晚上的一份声明中，这些组织称该动议是“对犹太社区的攻击”。
"Zionism is anti-racism, creating a refuge for Jews in their ancient homeland after millennia of persecution outside it," it said.
声明称：“犹太复国主义是反种族主义的，它为在国外遭受数千年迫害的犹太人在他们古老的祖国创造了避难所。”
"Branding most British Jews and Jewish institutions 'racist' stokes anti-Jewish hatred after a year in which British Jews have been murdered attending their synagogue, stabbed in the streets, and seen their community buildings firebombed."
“一年来，英国犹太人在犹太教堂被谋杀，在街上被刺伤，社区建筑被燃烧弹袭击，将大多数英国犹太人和犹太机构贴上‘种族主义’标签，煽动了反犹太仇恨。”
Israel's Foreign Ministry said the motion went beyond "the boundaries of legitimate political debate" and was "a stain on the history of the United Kingdom".
以色列外交部表示，这项动议超出了“合法政治辩论的界限”，是“英国历史上的污点”。
Debate about the motion, as well as the conflict in Gaza, has featured heavily during the conference, which is taking place after a surge in its membership in the wake of Polanski's election as leader in September last year.
关于该动议以及加沙冲突的辩论在会议期间占据了重要地位。去年 9 月波兰斯基当选领导人后，会议成员人数激增，会议召开。
Speaking after the vote, Lubna Speitan, the Green member behind the motion, argued its backers wanted to voice opposition to "racist systems of oppression".
支持该动议的绿党成员卢布纳·斯佩坦(Lubna Speitan)在投票后发表讲话，称其支持者希望表达对“种族主义压迫制度”的反对。
"We stand united against all forms of racism and discrimination - no exemptions," she added.
“我们团结一致反对一切形式的种族主义和歧视——没有例外，”她补充道。
Polanski himself did not vote in the debate, having left the conference early to campaign in Holborn and St Pancras, where he is standing to be the MP. A full list of candidates in the contest can be found here.
波兰斯基本人没有在辩论中投票，他提前离开会议前往霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯竞选议员。 您可以在此处找到竞赛候选人的完整名单。
Greens can move Labour in the right direction, says Polanski UK announces sanctions on West Bank settlements prompting furious Israeli response Asked about the motion on Friday, Polanski said: "If your Zionism is the displacement of the Palestinian people then that is clearly racist, and I say that as a Jewish leader of a British political party."
波兰斯基表示，绿党可以推动工党走向正确的方向 英国宣布对约旦河西岸定居点实施制裁，引发以色列强烈反应 周五被问及这项动议时，波兰斯基说：“如果你的犹太复国主义是巴勒斯坦人民的流离失所，那么这显然是种族主义，我作为英国政党的犹太领导人这么说。”
However, he said he wanted to see the reference to a single Palestinian state changed, arguing: "I don't believe we as a Green Party of England and Wales, or even the British government, should be deciding what the future settlement looks like."
然而，他表示，他希望看到对单一巴勒斯坦国的提及发生变化，并辩称：“我不认为我们作为英格兰和威尔士的绿党，甚至英国政府，应该决定未来的解决方案是什么样子。”
He had also said he wanted to see the motion amended to specify that it should not be used to discipline Jewish members attending synagogues that consider themselves Zionist.
他还表示，他希望看到该动议得到修改，以明确该动议不应被用来惩罚参加犹太复国主义犹太教堂的犹太成员。
However, both amendments favoured by Polanski were rejected by Green members.
然而，波兰斯基支持的两项修正案均被绿党成员否决。
The Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council statement referred to a "particular criticism" for Polanski "who neither spoke against the motion nor voted" but welcomed the subsequent "cross-party condemnation".
众议院和犹太领导委员会的声明提到了对波兰斯基的“特别批评”，“他既没有反对这项动议，也没有投票”，但对随后的“跨党派谴责”表示欢迎。
A Green spokeswoman insisted the party would protect Jewish members - and they would not be persecuted for attending synagogues which defined themselves as Zionist.
绿党发言人坚称，该党将保护犹太成员，他们不会因为参加将自己定义为犹太复国主义者的犹太教堂而受到迫害。
Speaking after the motion had been approved, chair of Jewish Greens Vivien Lichtenstein told the BBC she could consider her future in the party.
动议获得批准后，犹太绿党主席维维安·利希滕斯坦 (Vivien Lichtenstein) 告诉 BBC，她可以考虑自己在该党的未来。
Polanski has not specified whether he supports the motion passed by members, but added his name to a joint statement from the party's five MPs and deputy leaders issued after the vote.
波兰斯基没有具体说明他是否支持议员们通过的动议，但在投票后该党五名议员和副领导人发表的联合声明中加入了他的名字。
The statement pledged to ensure the Green Party was "an anti-racist party in every way" and added that there was "no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people".
声明承诺确保绿党“在各个方面都是一个反种族主义政党”，并补充说“支持巴勒斯坦人的权利和犹太人的权利之间不存在冲突”。
Over the course of the three-day conference, key figures in the party have expressed differing positions about the Zionism motion.
在为期三天的会议中，党内关键人物对犹太复国主义动议表达了不同立场。
Some pro-Israel activists demonstrated outside the conference venue on Saturday Four of the party's five MPs - Ellie Chowns, Adrian Ramsay and Carla Denyer, Sian Berry - had publicly opposed it, with Denyer arguing it could risk "alienating a significant proportion of Jewish people".
周六，一些亲以色列活动人士在会场外示威 该党五名议员中的四名——埃莉·乔恩斯(Ellie Chowns)、阿德里安·拉姆齐(Adrian Ramsay)、卡拉·丹耶(Carla Denyer)、西安·贝里(Sian Berry)——公开反对这一法案，丹耶认为这可能会“疏远很大一部分犹太人”。
Chowns, as well as former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas, both spoke against the motion during the debate.
乔恩斯和前绿党领袖卡罗琳·卢卡斯都在辩论中反对这项动议。
Addressing members, Lucas said: "I urge you not to support the over-simplification at the heart of this motion - a refusal to accept complexities which is leading to so many Jewish members feeling scared and unwelcome in our party."
卢卡斯对成员们说：“我敦促你们不要支持这项动议核心的过度简单化——拒绝接受复杂性，这导致如此多的犹太成员在我们党内感到害怕和不受欢迎。”
Deputy leader Mothin Ali, who had expressed support for the motion before the vote, said it was calling for "a state that's democratic, that guarantees the rights of every single person living on that land".
副领导人莫辛·阿里在投票前表示支持该动议，并表示该动议呼吁“一个民主的国家，保障生活在这片土地上的每个人的权利”。
He added that he was "absolutely not" calling all Jewish people who define themselves as Zionists racist.
他补充说，他“绝对不会”称所有将自己定义为犹太复国主义者的犹太人都是种族主义者。
Under Green Party rules, motions supported by members become official party policy, but will not necessarily be included in the party's manifesto at the next general election.
根据绿党规则，获得成员支持的动议将成为党的正式政策，但不一定会被纳入下次大选的党宣言中。
The Conservatives criticised the motion, saying it demonstrated the Green Party was "toxic to its core".
保守党批评这项动议，称这表明绿党“有毒”。
Labour chair Bridget Phillipson said the vote "crosses a line" and called on Polanski to "make clear that this will not be their position moving forwards".
工党主席布里奇特·菲利普森表示，这次投票“跨越了界限”，并呼吁波兰斯基“明确表示这不会是他们前进的立场”。
"It is shameful to vote against a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine and to condemn the vast majority of British Jews and Jews around the world as racist for supporting Israel's right to exist," she added.
她补充说：“投票反对以色列和巴勒斯坦两国解决方案，并谴责绝大多数英国犹太人和世界各地的犹太人支持以色列的生存权，这是可耻的。”
Liberal Democrat MP Luke Taylor said the motion did not address "the rising threats" of Islamophobia and antisemitism in the UK.
自由民主党议员卢克·泰勒表示，该动议并未解决英国伊斯兰恐惧症和反犹太主义“日益严重的威胁”。
He added: "This is a divisive motion that pours fuel on the fire of tensions in the UK, and will leave many British Jews feeling less safe."
他补充道：“这是一项分裂性动议，将火上浇油，加剧英国的紧张局势，并使许多英国犹太人感到不那么安全。”
