紐約，9月24日（路透）—— 以色列總理班雅明・納坦雅胡週四在聯合國大會發表演說前，演員與政治人物等人在聯合國總部外抗議納坦雅胡，警方逮捕至少30人。NEW YORK, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Police arrested at least 30 people including actors and politicians as they protested outside United Nations headquarters on Thursday against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of his speech at the General Assembly.

遭逮捕者包括奧斯卡獎得主、演員蘇珊・莎蘭登，艾美獎得主漢娜・艾賓德（Hannah Einbinder），民主黨國會候選人達里亞莉扎・阿維拉・謝瓦利耶，以及紐約市議員奇・奧塞（Chi Osse）。Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon, Emmy winner Hannah Einbinder, Democratic congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier and New York City council member Chi Osse were among those arrested.

參與抗議、50歲、具有伊朗與猶太血統的大學教授瑪尼潔・莫拉迪安（Manijeh Moradian）說：「以我們的名義、用我們的稅金對加薩所做的事，就是摧毀整個社會；我們有責任站出來反對，納坦雅胡無權利用聯合國這個平台為這些暴行辯護。」“What’s being done to Gaza, the obliteration of an entire society, in our name, with our tax dollars, this is our responsibility to speak out against, and Netanyahu has no right to use the platform of the United Nations to justify these atrocities,” said Manijeh Moradian, a 50-year-old university professor of Iranian and Jewish heritage, who took part in the protest.

在聯合國大會上，納坦雅胡為以色列在該地區的行動辯護，試圖在一場他可能落敗的選舉前反制日益加深的國際孤立；與此同時，數十名代表陸續走出大會堂。At the General Assembly, Netanyahu defended Israel's actions in the region, seeking to counter growing international isolation ahead of elections he could lose, as dozens of delegates streamed out of the General Assembly Hall.

這場集會由支持巴勒斯坦人的猶太行動團體「猶太和平之聲」（Jewish Voice for Peace）主辦。約200人聚集在聯合國外，身穿相同白色T恤，上面印有「把經費給人民，不要給炸彈」、「不要戰爭」和「解放巴勒斯坦」等標語。The rally was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, a Jewish activist group that supports Palestinians. Around 200 people gathered outside the United Nations in identical white T-shirts with printed slogans "Fund people not bombs," "No war" and "Free Palestine."

該團體阻擋交通，警方透過擴音器命令他們離開。一些人移往人行道，但核心抗議群眾仍坐在人行道旁的路面上，並在騎自行車抵達的員警包圍下，持續高喊反納坦雅胡口號。The group blocked traffic, and police ordered them to leave through loudspeakers. Some people moved to the sidewalks, but the core group of protesters remained seated on the pavement and continued chanting anti-Netanyahu slogans as police officers, who arrived on bicycles, surrounded them.

員警一個接一個把抗議者從人群中拉出來，用束帶將他們雙手綁在背後，並押送到警車上。這些行動人士在車外仍持續高喊「納坦雅胡下地獄」。One by one officers pulled protesters from the group, tied their hands behind their backs with zip ties and escorted them to police buses. The activists kept chanting "Netanyahu go to hell" outside the buses.
