萨姆·梅茨 巴卡·阿尔-加尔比耶，以色列 — 曼苏尔·阿巴斯几乎做到了以色列对其巴勒斯坦公民的所有要求。
SAM METZ BAQA AL-GHARBIYYE, Israel — Mansour Abbas has done nearly everything Israel asks of its Palestinian citizens.
一名小型阿拉伯政党的领导人谴责了哈马斯于2023年10月7日的袭击。他很少谈论加沙战争或以色列对约旦河西岸的占领，而是专注于诸如犯罪等地方议题。他在2021年打破了一个禁忌，将一个阿拉伯政党纳入以色列政府，在那里他担任忠诚的伙伴。这一次，他政党名单上的第二名是一名主流犹太候选人。
The leader of a small Arab political party condemned Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack. He rarely speaks about the war in Gaza or Israel’s occupation of the West Bank , instead focusing on local issues like crime. He broke a taboo in 2021 by bringing an Arab party into an Israeli government, in which he served as a loyal partner. This time around, the second-ranked member of his party list is a mainstream Jewish candidate.
但总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡及其主要竞争对手表示，他们不会在10月27日选举后与他的或任何其他阿拉伯领导的政党组建联盟 — — 即使这意味着数月的僵局和另一轮投票。
But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his chief rivals have said they won’t form a coalition with his or any other Arab-led party after the Oct. 27 election – even if that means months of gridlock and another round of voting.
这反映了以色列长期被边缘化的阿拉伯少数群体在10月7日袭击三年后的处境。他们的言论受到严密监管，他们的领导人被贴上叛徒的标签，而且曾有一段时间他们的政党被宣布非法，直至法院解除禁令。然而，在一场势均力敌的竞选中，阿巴斯和其他阿拉伯政治家有望在选择下一任总理中发挥潜在的决定性作用 — — 这是一个罕见的机会，可以施展他们的影响力。
It’s a measure of where Israel’s long-marginalized Arab minority finds itself three years after the Oct. 7 attack. Their speech is heavily policed , their leaders have been branded as traitors, and at one point their parties were outlawed before a court lifted the ban. Yet in a tight race, Abbas and other Arab politicians are poised to play a potentially decisive role in choosing the next prime minister — a rare opportunity to wield their influence.
即将到来的选举的利害关系是“生死攸关的”，阿拉伯政党联合名单的领导人尤瑟夫·贾巴林说道，该联合名单采取的立场比阿巴斯的伊斯兰教派拉姆党更不妥协。
The stakes in the coming election are “existential,” said Yousef Jabareen, leader of the Joint List of Arab parties, which adopt a less conciliatory line than Abbas’ Islamist Ra’am party.
“我们必须利用我们的政治权力，基本上阻止局势的恶化，”他在特拉维夫的一个小型竞选活动上说道，随后溜到后面以避开一群极右翼抗议者。
“We have to use our political power in order to basically block the deterioration of the situation,” he said at a small campaign event in Tel Aviv, before slipping out the back to avoid a crowd of far-right protesters.
1948年围绕以色列建国的战争期间留在以色列内的巴勒斯坦人及其后裔如今占总人口的约20%。他们拥有公民身份，包括投票权，但他们与加沙和约旦河西岸巴勒斯坦人的密切家庭联系和支持导致许多犹太以色列人对他们持怀疑态度。
Palestinians who remained within Israel after the 1948 war surrounding its creation , and their descendants, today make up about 20% of the population. They have citizenship, including the right to vote, but their close family ties and support for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank lead many Jewish Israelis to view them with suspicion.
他们面临歧视，犯罪率飙升，阿拉伯活动人士将此归因于警察的疏忽，而警察则表示，问题的根源在于社区领导人拒绝与他们合作。
They face discrimination and suffer from soaring crime rates, a problem that Arab activists blame on police negligence and the police say is rooted in the refusal of community leaders to work with them.
巴勒斯坦公民的谋杀率是犹太以色列人的22倍以上，而逮捕和起诉率却远低于此。以色列组织“亚伯拉罕倡议”（该组织主张平等权利）迄今为止已统计出今年阿拉伯社区因犯罪导致的死亡人数为184人。该组织7月表示，2026年上半年报告的案件中只有12%被破获。
The homicide rate among Palestinian citizens is more than 22 times higher than among Jewish Israelis, while arrest and indictment rates are far lower. The Abraham Initiatives, an Israeli organization that advocates for equal rights, has tallied 184 crime-related killings in Arab communities so far this year. The group said in July that only 12% reported in the first half of 2026 had been solved.
与此同时，活动人士称，当局正积极限制言论自由。根据以色列人权组织Adalah的报告，警察经常驱散反战抗议，限制展示巴勒斯坦旗帜，并因社交媒体帖子逮捕了数百人。
Authorities have meanwhile aggressively curtailed freedom of expression, activists say. Police have routinely broken up anti-war protests, restricted displays of Palestinian flags, and arrested hundreds of people over social media posts, according to the Israel-based rights group Adalah.
“他们没有写‘杀死犹太人’。其中一些人写的是‘我们为加沙祈祷’，”该组织总干事哈桑·贾巴林说。
“They’re not writing ‘Kill the Jews.’ Some of them are writing, ’We pray for Gaza,’” Hassan Jabareen, its general director, said.
以色列政府表示，它是一个犹太国家，少数民族享有平等权利，而其对某些言论和抗议的打压根源于安全考虑。
The Israeli government says it is a Jewish state in which minorities have equal rights, and that its crackdown on certain kinds of speech and protests is rooted in security concerns.
贾巴林表示，对抗议的过度警务和对暴力犯罪的警务不足，使巴勒斯坦人感觉自己更像是需要被控制的威胁，而不是公民。“我们必须在被杀害的危险和遭受歧视之间做出选择，”他说。
Jabareen said the perceived over-policing of protests and under-policing of violent crime leaves Palestinians feeling less like citizens and more like threats to be contained. “We have to choose between the danger of being killed and being discriminated against,” he said.
阿拉伯领导的政党长期以来一直反对他们认为根本不公平的体系。直到2021年，尚未有阿拉伯领导的政党加入联合政府。
Arab-led parties have long served in opposition to a system they believe is fundamentally unfair. Until 2021, none had joined a coalition government.
阿巴斯五年前决定这样做标志着一个重大转变。这位52岁的牙医认为，阿拉伯领导人需要坐到谈判桌上。批评者指责他为了争取潜在的联合政府伙伴而回避更大的以巴冲突，而他则认为，聚焦地方议题是服务选民的最佳方式。
Abbas’ decision to do so five years ago marked a major shift. The 52-year-old dentist argued that Arab leaders needed a seat at the table. Critics accuse him of sidestepping the larger Israeli-Palestinian conflict to court potential coalition partners, while he argues that focusing on local issues is the best way to serve his constituents.
“犯罪和谋杀与人们的生活息息相关，没有什么比人命更宝贵。作为阿拉伯公众选出的代表，我们有责任为他们服务。”他上周在以色列北部的一次竞选活动中如是说。
“Crime and murder are issues linked to people’s lives and there is no value higher than the value of human life. We’re responsible, as representatives elected by the Arab public, to serve this public,” he said at a campaign event in northern Israel last week.
他加入的政府仅维持了一年多，直到2022年新选举将内塔尼亚胡送回执政位置，领导以色列历史上最民族主义和宗教化的政府。
The government he joined lasted a little over a year, until new elections in 2022 returned Netanyahu to power at the head of the most nationalist and religious government in Israel’s history.
极右翼财政部长贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里希曾将以色列的巴勒斯坦公民描述为战争中的“内部战线”和“对国家的生存威胁”。在极右翼国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本·格维尔负责执法的情况下，根据Adalah的报告，至少有200名因言论相关罪名被起诉的以色列巴勒斯坦公民被列为安全囚犯。他们被关押在恶劣条件下，包括拥挤和严格限制食物，常常与来自加沙的疑似武装分子关押在同一设施中。
Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has described Palestinian citizens of Israel as an “internal front” in the war and “an existential threat to the state.”With the far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir in charge of law enforcement, at least 200 Palestinian citizens indicted for speech-related offenses have been classified as security prisoners, according to Adalah. They’ve been subjected to brutal conditions, including overcrowding and severe restrictions on food, often in the same facilities as suspected militants from Gaza.
多个政党竞争以色列国民议会（即议会）的120个席位。没有任何政党预计能赢得接近61个席位，因此谁能成功组建多数联盟，谁就将成为下一任总理。这可能使小党派拥有不成比例的影响力。
Multiple parties compete for the 120 seats in Israel’s national assembly, known as the Knesset. None is expected to win anywhere near 61 seats, so whoever succeeds in cobbling together a majority coalition will be the next prime minister. That can give small parties outsized influence.
内塔尼亚胡不会与阿拉伯领导的政党合作，而这些政党也已经排除了这种可能性。内塔尼亚胡的主要对手、中间派退役将军加迪·艾森科特也表示他不会与阿拉伯领导的政党结盟。即使是中左翼领袖、2021年政府的雅伊尔·拉皮德也在今年5月告诉美联社，他不会再与拉姆党组建联盟。
Netanyahu won’t work with the Arab-led parties, and they have also ruled that out. Netanyahu’s main opponent, the centrist retired general Gadi Eisenkot, also says he won’t ally with Arab-led parties. Even Yair Lapid, a center-left leader of the 2021 government, told The Associated Press in May that he would not form another coalition with Ra’am.
他们可能会改变主意，或者在阿拉伯领导的政党外部支持下组建少数派联盟。否则，阿拉伯领导的政党若取得重大胜利，很可能导致另一轮选举，而内塔尼亚胡的政府将继续以看守政府身份运作。
They could change their minds, or form a minority coalition backed by Arab-led parties from the outside. Otherwise, a big win for the Arab-led parties would likely lead to another round of elections, with Netanyahu’s government staying on as a caretaker.
大约1200人在10月7日袭击中遇难、251人被劫持为人质，其中绝大多数是以色列犹太人，但以色列的巴勒斯坦公民也在遇难和被劫持者之列。根据当地卫生当局的数据，以色列的报复性进攻在加沙已造成超过74000名巴勒斯坦人死亡。
The vast majority of the roughly 1,200 people killed and 251 taken hostage in the Oct. 7 attack were Israeli Jews, but Palestinian citizens of Israel were also among those killed and abducted . Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed over 74,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to local health authorities .
穆罕默德·达拉夫谢是吉瓦特哈维瓦共享社会中心的主任，该组织已有数十年历史，致力于推动犹太人与阿拉伯人的平等。他的侄子是以色列的巴勒斯坦公民，也是一名急救人员，在10月7日的袭击中遇害。
Mohammad Darawshe is a director at the Givat Haviva Center for a Shared Society, a decades-old organization that campaigns for Jewish and Arab equality. His nephew, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and a paramedic , was killed in the Oct. 7 attack.
他说，袭击后犹太公民和巴勒斯坦公民曾短暂出现团结，但很快就消失了，因为以色列的军事回应疏远了许多巴勒斯坦人。达拉夫谢表示，内塔尼亚胡及其部长们没有努力治愈分歧，反而在加深分歧。“这个政府为种族主义提供了生态系统，”他说。
He said there was a brief moment of solidarity between Jewish and Palestinian citizens after the attack, but it soon faded as Israel’s military response alienated many Palestinians. Rather than work to heal divisions, Netanyahu and his ministers have fed them, Darawshe said. “This government provides the ecosystem for racism,” he said.
尽管如此，一些巴勒斯坦公民仍认为参与和投票是他们的义务，即使政府让他们感到自己是局外人。
Still, some Palestinian citizens see it as a duty to participate and vote, even when the government makes them feel like outsiders.
50岁的阿赫迈德·卡丹是阿拉伯城镇巴卡·加尔比耶的辅导员，他说他计划投票给拉阿姆党。
Ahmed Kadan, a 50-year-old guidance counselor in the Arab town of Baqa al-Gharbiyye, said he plans to vote for Ra’am.
巴勒斯坦公民在以色列的医疗界和其他专业领域有着广泛的存在，他们也缴纳税款，但卡丹说政府忽视了他们的需求。
Palestinian citizens have a huge presence in Israel’s medical community and other professions, and they pay taxes, but he said the government ignores their needs.
上个月，三名年轻男子在该镇郊区的一辆燃烧的汽车中被发现身亡——看来是一次刑事袭击。警方尚未确定任何嫌疑人。
Last month, three young men were found dead in a burning car on the outskirts of the town – apparently a criminal attack. Police have yet to identify any suspects.
“我们生活在这个国家，而不是其他任何地方，”卡丹说。“我们在履行职责，但得不到我们所需的东西。”
“We live in this state and not in any other place,” Kadan said. “We’re doing our duty but not getting what we need.”
