波兰斯基在今天的第四台节目中受到质疑，他认为以色列是否有权生存 扎克*波兰斯基(Zack Polanski)在补选失败后发誓要继续担任绿党领袖，因为他面临着党内辞职的压力。
The leader of the Jewish Greens, Vivien Lichtenstein, said on Friday he should resign, adding it was a "big mistake" for him to have dodged a debate about a party conference motion that declared Zionism a form of racism.
犹太绿党领袖费维恩*利希滕斯坦（Vivien Lichtenstein）周五表示，他应该辞职，并补充说，他躲过了一场关于宣布犹太复国主义为种族主义形式的政党会议动议的辩论，这是一个"大错误"。
Lichtenstein's comments come after two former Green leaders accused Polanski of failing to show leadership over the Zionism row.
利希滕斯坦的评论是在两位前绿色领导人指责波兰斯基未能在犹太复国主义阵营中表现出领导力之后发表的。
Polanski, who came second to Labour overnight in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, told BBC Breakfast he would "absolutely" stay on as leader and he "of course" had not questioned that.
波兰斯基在霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯补选中一夜之间排在工党第二位，他告诉BBC早餐，他将"绝对"留在领导岗位上，他"当然"并没有质疑这一点。
The Greens had hoped to take the seat, previously held by former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, after a by-election success earlier this year.
绿党曾希望在今年早些时候的补选成功后，由前总理基尔*斯塔默爵士（Sir Keir Starmer）担任该席位。
Polanski lost out in Thursday's contest in London to Labour candidate Sagal Abdi-Wali - who secured 45% of the vote to his 33% - but the Green vote share was up by 22 percentage points on the 2024 general election.
波兰斯基在周四的伦敦竞选中输给了工党候选人萨加尔*阿卜迪-瓦利（Sagal Abdi-Wali）-他获得了45％的选票，而他的33％-但绿色选票份额在22大选中上升了2024个百分点。
Following the by-election, Lichtenstein was asked whether it would be right for Polanski to continue as leader of the party.
补选后，有人问利希滕斯坦是否适合波兰斯基继续担任党魁。
She told Times Radio: "No, I think he should resign." Earlier in the week, Lichtenstein, who has been a member of the Green Party for nearly three decades, told Radio 4's Today programme it was "quite possible" she would leave the party after the Zionism row.
她告诉《泰晤士报》广播："不，我认为他应该辞职。" 本周早些时候，作为绿党成员近三十年的利希滕斯坦告诉BBC第四台《今日》节目，她"很可能会"在犹太复国主义争议后离开绿党。
Speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire on Friday, she said she should would not resign immediately because she is having conversations about how to "detoxify" the party.
她周五在接受BBC维多利亚·德比郡采访时表示，她不应立即辞职，因为她正在讨论如何"排毒"该党。
When asked if she had confidence in Polanski's leadership, Lichtenstein said: "At the moment, no I don't."
当被问及是否对波兰斯基的领导有信心时，利希滕斯坦回答："目前没有。"
She added that she was "very disappointed" in him. Calling on Polanski to apologise, she said: "I don't think that any Jew in the party is going to be in any danger...
她补充说，她对他"非常失望"。 她呼吁波兰斯基道歉，说："我不认为党内的任何犹太人会有任何危险......
"There just might be some unpleasant people who will direct some unpleasant comments, and some of us are going to have to deal with them robustly."
"可能会有一些令人不快的人发表不愉快的评论，我们中的一些人必须严肃应对他们。"
Her criticisms were similar to those of former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas who said Polanski should have attended the vote on the conference motion on Sunday.
她的批评与前绿党领袖卡罗琳·卢卡斯类似，卢卡斯认为波兰斯基应该出席周日对大会动议的投票。
The motion, which was passed by rank-and-file members to become official party policy, defined Zionism as an ideology supporting "an ethnonationalist Jewish state" and backed a "single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine", which includes modern-day Israel.
该动议由基层党员通过，成为官方党政策，将犹太复国主义定义为支持"民族主义犹太国家"的意识形态，并支持"在历史巴勒斯坦全境内建立一个统一的民主巴勒斯坦国"，包括现代以色列。
Adrian Ramsay, a Green MP and former co-leader, declined to back Polanski on Friday, and said he was now working to reverse the motion.
绿党议员、前联合领袖阿德里安·拉姆齐周五拒绝支持波兰斯基，并表示他正在努力推翻该动议。
"A lot depends on what happens in the days and weeks to come," he told the BBC's Politics East, when asked if Polanski should still lead the party.

"[He] did not show leadership I would have been looking for."
"[他]没有展现出我所期待的领导力。"
Ellie Chowns, the Green MP for North Herefordshire, said she "unequivocally" backs Israel's right to exist and is "passionately opposed to the actions of the current Israeli government under Netanyahu".
北赫里福德郡绿党议员埃莉·乔恩斯表示，她"明确"支持以色列的存在权，并"强烈反对内塔尼亚胡领导下的现任以色列政府的行为"。
"I believe it's for both Israelis and Palestinians themselves to decide what the ultimate constitutional settlement should look like in their region," she told BBC News.
她告诉BBC新闻："我认为，最终的宪政解决方案应由以色列人和巴勒斯坦人自己决定，"她对BBC新闻说。
"I believe both Israel and Palestine have the right to exist.
"我相信以色列和巴勒斯坦都有存在的权利。
"I believe that's a perspective shared by the large majority of Green Party members and by the large majority of the British people."
"我相信这是大多数绿党成员以及绝大多数英国人民所认同的观点。"
Polanski defended his absence from the controversial motion vote in Brighton, saying he was busy campaigning in the North London constituency.
波兰斯基为自己缺席布莱顿有争议的动议投票辩护，称他当时正忙于在北伦敦选区竞选。
Asked if he would resign, he said: "Of course I can carry on as leader of the Green Party.

"Yes, I've taken a loss tonight but our movement is so much bigger than one election or one motion."
"是的，我今晚输了，但我们的运动远不止一次选举或一项动议。"
Having not answered questions about the Zionism vote for most of this week, Polanski confirmed in interviews on Friday that he would not have voted for the "imperfect" motion without it being amended.

多份联合国报告指控以色列政府在加沙犯下了构成种族灭绝的战争罪。
Israel has repeatedly denied all such allegations. On Friday morning, following the Zionism row, Polanski was asked repeatedly on BBC Radio 4's Today programme whether he believes Israel has a right to exist.
以色列一再否认所有此类指控。 周五早晨，在犹太复国主义争议之后，波兰斯基在BBC第四台的《今日》节目中被反复问及他是否认为以色列有存在的权利。
"I don't believe any state has the right to oppress or to commit apartheid and certainly not genocide on another people," he said, adding: "I don't believe that's a state that anyone should be supporting."
他说："我不认为任何国家有权压迫或实施种族隔离，更别说对另一个民族实施种族灭绝了。"
Asked by presenter Nick Robinson for a "yes/no" answer on this question, he said: "I've repeated many times that I want to see equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians - at the moment Palestinians don't have equal rights so I think I'm answering your question really clearly."
当主持人尼克·罗宾逊问他"是"或"否"回答时，他说："我多次重申，我希望以色列人和巴勒斯坦人享有平等权利——目前巴勒斯坦人没有平等权利，所以我觉得我已经非常清楚地回答了你的问题。"

Bartley said the Green brand "needs to be detoxified", adding the party had seen an influx in members that have "maybe come from the left of the Labour Party, maybe from [Jeremy Corbyn's] Your Party" but "we're losing some older voters".

Polanski has said anti-Zionism and antisemitism are distinct from each other and said nobody will be excluded from the party on the basis of their faith, place of worship or religious body.
