In a boastful(自夸的，狂妄的) and defiant(挑衅的，公然违抗的) speech to the United Nations on Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu called out(点名批评，公开指责) a list of villains he insisted are intent on destroying Israel and promoting an anti-Jewish conspiracy(阴谋，密谋) by accusing Israel of committing a genocide(种族灭绝) in Gaza. He singled out(特别挑出，单独点名) the leaders of Hamas, Iran, Qatar and Turkey, among others. But Netanyahu spent considerable time on the global stage(在全球舞台上) attacking an unusual target: Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City.
周四，本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在联合国发表了一篇狂妄而挑衅的演讲，点名列举了一串“恶人”，坚称这些人一心要摧毁以色列，并通过指控以色列在加沙实施种族灭绝来推动一场反犹阴谋。他特别点出了哈马斯、伊朗、卡塔尔和土耳其等方的领导人。但内塔尼亚胡在全球舞台上花了相当多时间攻击一个不寻常的目标：纽约市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼。
Netanyahu accused Mamdani of promoting antisemitism(反犹主义，反犹太主义), falsely claimed that he supports Hamas, and argued that since the mayor took office(上任，就职) in January, “many Jews no longer feel safe in New York.” The Israeli leader also criticized Mamdani’s wife for liking social media posts that supported the Palestinian cause(巴勒斯坦事业) soon after the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023. Overall, Netanyahu seems to have devoted more time in his nearly 40-minute speech to singling out Mamdani than any other political leader, including Israel’s traditional enemies.(总体来看，在他近40分钟的演讲中，内塔尼亚胡点名马姆达尼的时间似乎超过了任何其他政治领导人，包括以色列的传统敌人。)
内塔尼亚胡指控马姆达尼煽动反犹情绪，谎称他支持哈马斯，并声称自这位市长今年1月上任以来，“许多犹太人不再觉得纽约安全”。这位以色列领导人还批评马姆达尼的妻子，因为她点赞了2023年10月哈马斯袭击以色列后不久支持巴勒斯坦事业的社交媒体帖子。总体来看，在他近40分钟的演讲中，内塔尼亚胡点名马姆达尼的时间似乎超过了任何其他政治领导人，包括以色列的传统敌人。
On the surface(表面上，从表面看), it might seem that Netanyahu’s attacks were mainly motivated by personal animosity(敌意，仇恨) toward Mamdani, who pledged(承诺，保证) during last year’s mayoral campaign to execute an arrest warrant against the Israeli prime minister for war crimes and crimes against humanity(战争罪和反人类罪) issued by the international criminal court (ICC) in 2024. “Mr Mamdani, you tried to stop me from coming here, you tried to silence me(让我闭嘴，压制我的声音),” Netanyahu said from the UN podium(讲台，演讲台), referring to the mayor’s promise to enforce the ICC warrant the next time the Israeli leader visited New York. “You can’t silence me. You can’t silence the truth.”
表面上看，内塔尼亚胡的攻击似乎主要出于对马姆达尼的个人敌意——马姆达尼在去年的市长竞选中承诺，将执行国际刑事法院（ICC）2024年针对这位以色列总理发出的逮捕令，罪名是战争罪和反人类罪。“马姆达尼先生，你试图阻止我来这里，你试图让我闭嘴，”内塔尼亚胡在联合国讲台上说，指的是这位市长承诺在以色列领导人下次访问纽约时执行国际刑事法院的逮捕令。“你无法让我闭嘴。你无法让真相闭嘴。”
