议员反以色列言论惹争议,美国众议院忙通过谴责反犹决议


2019-03-08 19:07:04字号:“建议辞职”后,美国国会首位女性穆斯林议员伊尔汉 · 奥马尔(Ilhan Omar)的“反犹”风波仍在继续。

当地时间3月7日,联邦众议院以407对23票的压倒性优势,通过一项决议,谴责包括反犹太、反穆斯林、白人至上主义在内的仇恨与偏见言行。

据福克斯(FOX)新闻报道,这项决议虽然没有提奥马尔的名字,却是在间接谴责她之前的言论,而包括奥马尔在内,所有民主党人都对决议投了赞成票,共和党则承包了所有反对票。

决议指出:“鉴于美国的白人至上主义者曾经并继续利用仇恨来获取政治利益,谴责针对传统上受到迫害的族裔,包括非洲裔美国人、拉丁裔美国人、美洲原住民、亚裔美国人和太平洋岛居民以及其他有色人种、犹太人、穆斯林、印度教徒、锡克教徒、LGBTQ群体、移民和其他人进行口头攻击、煽动仇恨和实施暴力。”

决议的最后提到:“在美国和世界各地,尤其是在美以同盟的背景下,反犹太主义的刻板印象持续存在,包括双重忠诚和效忠外国的有害传言。”

美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)指出,决议最初的目的只是在奥马尔的言论引发众怒后,专门谴责反犹太主义,但后来对内容进行了修改,将其他形式的偏见都纳入其中。

对此,投了反对票的众议院共和党领袖利兹·切尼(Liz Cheney)在一份声明中说:“今天的投票是民主党人提出的一个骗局,目的是避免谴责他们中的一员及卑鄙的反犹太主义。”她要求把奥马尔从众议院外交事务委员会中除名。

犹太裔共和党众议员李·泽尔丁(Lee Zeldin)强烈谴责这项决议,称它是一项“打了折扣”的决议,既“软弱”,又“令人作呕”。

值得注意的是,这场风波也引发了一场民主党的“内讧”。此前还在“反犹”言论上谴责奥马尔的众议院议长佩洛西为她找了台阶,称“不相信她完全理解这些话的分量”。

民主党众议员泰德‧杜奇(Ted Deutch)则抨击民主党领导人不愿严厉谴责奥马尔,认为谴责反犹太主义“不应该这么难”,他质问:“为什么我们不能单独谴责反犹太主义呢?”

在决议通过后,奥马尔和密歇根州众议员拉希达·特莱布(Rashida Tlaib)、印第安纳州众议员安德烈·卡森(Andre Carson)三名穆斯林议员发表了联合声明,对决议的通过表示赞扬。

奥马尔说了什么?

奥马尔质疑美国长期支持以色列的政策,向来公开批评以色列,早在2012年,她就在推特写道:“以色列已经催眠了世界,愿安拉唤醒人民,帮助他们看到以色列的邪恶行径。”

她还公开支持巴勒斯坦团体发起的对以色列“抵制,撤资、制裁”(BDS)行动。

而近期再度引发争议的是奥马尔在推特上暗示,国会议员支持以色列是因为得到了亲以色列游说组织美以公共事务委员会(AIPAC)的捐款。

奥马尔的言论被不少人视为“反犹太主义”,遭到国会两党的一致批评,特朗普也发声建议她辞职,并称“反犹太主义在美国国会没有立足之地”。

但奥马尔认为,反对以色列政策和以色列总理内塔尼亚胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)不等同于反犹太主义。

在众议院进行表决前夕,她也没有回避批评以色列的言行。本周早些时候,她在推特写到,“每天我都在被告知,如果我不亲以色列,我就是反美者。我认为这是有问题的,而且我也并不孤单,我只是碰巧愿意在这个问题上发言,并面对外界的攻击。”

尽管决议文本没有点名奥马尔,但明确提到了上周她在华盛顿一家咖啡馆发表的一些言论,当时她再度质疑亲以色列团体在美国政治中的影响力,并暗示这些团体在“效忠外国”。

福克斯新闻称,几个世纪以来,人们经常指责犹太政治人物可能容易受到“双重忠诚”的指责,这被广泛视为一种基于宗教的攻击,目的是削弱他们的领导力。
 
Ilhan Omar Knows Exactly What She Is Doing

The Minnesota Democrat is bringing Corbynism to the Democratic Party.

There’s an old joke about upper-class British anti-Semitism: It means someone who hates Jews more than is strictly necessary. Ilhan Omar, the freshman representative from Minnesota, more than meets the progressive American version of that standard.

Like many self-described progressives, Omar does not like Israel. That’s a shame, not least because Israel is the only country in its region that embraces the sorts of values the Democratic Party claims to champion. When was the last time there was a gay-pride parade in Ramallah, a women’s rights march in Gaza, or an opposition press in Tehran? In what Middle Eastern country other than Israel can an attorney general indict a popular and powerful prime minister on corruption charges?

But America is a free country, and Omar is within her rights to think what she will about Israel or any other state. Contrary to a self-serving myth among Israel’s detractors, there’s rarely a social or reputational penalty for publicly criticizing Israeli policies today. It’s ubiquitous on college campuses and commonplace in editorial pages. And contrary to some recent comments from Senator Elizabeth Warren, no serious person claims criticism of Israel is ipso facto anti-Semitic. My last column called on Benjamin Netanyahu to resign. Last I checked, the Anti-Defamation League has not denounced me.

Omar, however, isn’t just a critic of Israel. As the joke has it, her objections to the Jewish state go well beyond what’s strictly necessary.

“Israeli-occupied” territory. Or she invokes free speech, telling Lowey “our democracy is built on debate” — as if the debate she wants to force is as innocuous as a dispute over a spending bill.

As the criticism of Omar mounts, it becomes that much easier for her to seem like the victim of a smear campaign, rather than the instigator of a smear. The secret of anti-Semitism has always rested, in part, on creating the perception that the anti-Semite is, in fact, the victim of the Jews and their allies. Just which powers-that-be are orchestrating that campaign? Why are they afraid of open debate? And what about all the bigotry on their side?

The goal is not to win the argument, at least not anytime soon. Yet merely by refusing to fold, Omar stands to shift the range of acceptable discussion — the so-called Overton window — sharply in her direction. Ideas once thought of as intellectually uncouth and morally repulsive have suddenly become merely controversial. It’s how anti-Zionism has abruptly become an acceptable point of view in reputable circles. It’s why anti-Semitism is just outside the frame, bidding to get in.

House Democrats are now wrangling over the text of a resolution that was initially intended as a condemnation of anti-Semitism, with Omar as its implicit target. At this writing it is mired in predictable controversy, as members of the party’s progressive wing and black caucus rally to Omar’s side in the first open challenge to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s leadership. In the Senate, the presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Warren have weighed in with statements that painted Omar as a victim of Islamophobia — which she is — without mentioning that she’s also a purveyor of anti-Semitic bigotry — which she surely is as well.

It says something about the progressive movement today that it has no trouble denouncing Republican racism, real and alleged, every day of the week but has so much trouble calling out a naked anti-Semite in its own ranks. This is how progressivism becomes Corbynism. It’s how the left finds its own path toward legitimizing hate. It’s how self-declared anti-fascists develop their own forms of fascism.

If Pelosi can’t muster a powerful and unequivocal resolution condemning anti-Semitism, then Omar will have secured her political future and won a critical battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. At that point, the days when American Jews can live comfortably within the Democratic fold will be numbered.
