J街主席承认以色列在加沙的行动可能构成种族灭绝
摘要
J街主席杰里米·本-阿米改变立场，承认以色列在加沙的行动可能符合种族灭绝的法律定义。
杰里米·本-阿米，自由犹太复国主义倡导组织J街的主席，已修正其关于以色列在加沙军事行动的立场。在最近的一份通讯中，本-阿米表示，他“已被法律和学术论证理性说服，国际法庭终有一天会认定以色列违反了国际种族灭绝公约。”
尽管因家族的犹太大屠杀历史而个人不愿使用“种族灭绝”一词，本-阿米强调他“不能也不会再反驳那些使用该词的人。我根本不会为不可辩护的行为辩护。”
这一立场转变使J街与其他著名的美国犹太声音及人权组织保持一致，这些组织最近也指责以色列在加沙犯下种族灭绝罪。值得注意的是，以色列人权组织B’Tselem和以色列人权医生组织也提出了类似指控，称以色列的行动是“协调、有意图地摧毁加沙地带巴勒斯坦社会。”
以色列政府一贯否认这些指控，声称其军事行动针对哈马斯武装分子，而非平民。官员们辩称采取了措施以减少平民伤亡，且哈马斯将战斗人员藏匿于平民区的战术使这些努力更加复杂。
“种族灭绝”一词由1948年联合国公约法律定义，指有意图全部或部分消灭一个民族、种族、种族或宗教群体的行为。将该词应用于以色列在加沙的行动，仍是国际法律和政治领域的争议焦点。
