这份文字记录包含对阿夫拉姆·伯格（Avram Burg）的采访，他曾任以色列议会议长和临时总统，对本雅明·内塔尼亚胡领导下的以色列政府以及更广泛的以色列政治和社会图景提出了批判性观点。访谈伊始，主持人塔克·卡尔森（Tucker Carlson）断言，内塔尼亚胡政府及其美国支持者错误地将对以色列的批评等同于反犹主义，声称该政府代表所有犹太人——卡尔森将此立场斥为诽谤，并认为其本身就是一种反犹主义形式。 伯格被描述为一个来自犹太复国主义家庭的杰出人物，他立即质疑以色列政策中战略连贯性的概念，尤其是在其对伊朗和加沙的行动上。他指出，以色列常常是“没有战略”，只有“许多战术的集合”，导致了“先开枪，后瞄准”的心态。他将以色列的视角描述为一场“零和游戏”，目标是“独自取胜”并“消灭敌人”，常将对手描绘成“希特勒”。他认为，这种心态扼杀了任何“和解政治”。 深入探讨这种态度的根源，伯格将其归因于犹太民族历史上“生存”和“生存威胁”的经历，这“将我们熬成了一个非常、非常坚硬的顽固鸡蛋”（意指变得非常固执）。他指出错失了和平机会，例如萨达特总统的提议和奥斯陆协议，以色列“从未成熟到足以应对这些挑战”，缺乏“谈论和平的词汇或心态”。 矛盾的是，伯格指出，随着以色列客观上变得更加强大，它反而感觉“受到了更大的威胁”。他详细阐述了威胁的演变：从1948年的多支阿拉伯军队，到今天主要集中于巴勒斯坦问题，但他也强调了新的挑战：10月7日之后以色列沦为“世界弃儿”，以及伊朗核能力迫在眉睫的威胁。他哀叹以色列获得的国际同情心被“浪费”了。 关于当前的冲突，伯格认为其直接导火索是一个“可怕的”投机决定。他将其更宏大的框架归因于内塔尼亚胡的“毕生使命”，该使命受到“经典犹太偏执”（认为“全世界都与我们作对”）以及一种1970年代至90年代“光明之子”对抗“黑暗后裔”的保守世界观所驱动，从而阻碍了任何妥协或沟通。他将内塔尼亚胡与特朗普总统的关系描述为一种“恐惧”，但同时也懂得“如何操纵”他，利用拯救以色列和犹太人的叙事。 关于以色列国内对加沙的看法，伯格指出，大多数以色列人“并不真正知道加沙在哪里”，尽管它近在咫尺。他批评以色列媒体过滤掉人道主义报道并对巴勒斯坦人进行非人化，导致加沙成为以色列的“道德深渊”。他解释说，合法的国际批评常常被以色列人斥为“反犹主义”，从而形成了一道“厚重的过滤器”，阻止了自我反省。 伯格谈到以色列日益加剧的孤立，它既脱离了欧洲根源，也脱离了周边的中东地区。他指出，以色列出现了一个显著的人口结构变化，50%的以色列犹太人现在都来自穆斯林世界，这挑战了以色列传统的“西方”形象。他观察到以色列已从一个“社会民主”国家转变为一个“民主赤字”、“严酷资本主义”和“非常宗教化”的社会。他将从10月7日开始并延伸到当前冲突的近期事件，描述为一场涉及犹太和穆斯林原教旨主义的“第一次宗教原教旨主义世界大战”的开端。 伯格深感担忧的一个问题是，狂热团体一再试图摧毁圣殿山上的阿克萨清真寺建筑群，他认为这将导致灾难性的全球后果，预示着“以色列国存在合理性的终结”。他表示担忧，即使是以色列军队，这个曾被视为一股温和力量的机构，也日益受到定居者运动“弥赛亚使命”意识形态的影响。 尽管存在这些严重的担忧，伯格仍抱有希望。他认为，大多数以色列人最终渴望“美好的生活”，并最终会选择“自由民主”而不是“疯狂”。他主张建立一个“没有大规模杀伤性武器”的中东，包括以色列在内，他认为只有美国才能强制推行这一解决方案。他强调恢复对美国作为全球稳定力量的信任的重要性。 最后，伯格反思了他作为异议声音的角色。尽管面临孤独和批评，他认为自己的立场植根于犹太人“异议”的传统，并有责任为他人提供“替代叙事”和勇气，致力于独立思考并挑战主流。

This transcript features an interview with Avram Burg, a former Speaker of the Israeli Knesset and interim president, who offers a critical perspective on the Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu and the broader political and social landscape of Israel. The discussion begins with host Tucker Carlson asserting that the Netanyahu government and its U.S. supporters wrongly equate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, claiming the government speaks for all Jews – a position Carlson labels as slanderous and a form of antisemitism itself. Burg, described as a prominent figure from a Zionist family, immediately challenges the notion of strategic coherence in Israeli policy, particularly regarding its actions in Iran and Gaza. He states that Israel often operates with "no strategy," just a "compilation of many tactics," leading to a "shoot first, aim later" mentality. He characterizes the Israeli perspective as a "zero-sum game," where the goal is to "win alone" and "cancel the enemy," often portraying adversaries as "Hitler." This mindset, he argues, stifles any "reconciliatory politics." Delving into the origins of this attitude, Burg attributes it to the Jewish people's historical experience of "survival" and "existential threat," which has "boiled us into a very, very hard stiff neck egg." He points to missed opportunities for peace, such as the overtures from President Sadat and the Oslo Accords, which Israel "never grew up into the challenge" of, lacking a "vocabulary or state of mind to talk peace." Paradoxically, Burg notes that as Israel has become more objectively powerful, it has felt "more threatened." He details the evolution of threats from multiple Arab armies in 1948 to primarily the Palestinian issue today, but highlights new challenges: Israel's transformation into a "world pariah" after October 7th, and the looming threat of an Iranian nuclear capability. He laments how international sympathy for Israel has been "wasted." Regarding the current conflict, Burg sees its immediate trigger as an "awful" opportunistic decision. He attributes its larger frame to Netanyahu's "life mission," driven by "classic Jewish paranoia" (the belief that "the entire world is against us") and a 1970s-90s conservative worldview of "children of light" versus "offspring of darkness," preventing any compromise or communication. He describes Netanyahu's relationship with President Trump as one of "fear" but also of knowing "how to puppeteer" him, leveraging the narrative of saving Israel and the Jews. On the perception of Gaza within Israel, Burg states that most Israelis "do not really know where Gaza is," despite its proximity. He criticizes Israeli media for filtering out humanitarian reports and dehumanizing Palestinians, contributing to Gaza becoming a "moral abyss" for Israel. He explains that legitimate international criticism is often dismissed by Israelis as "anti-Semitism," creating a "thick filter" that prevents self-reflection. Burg discusses Israel's growing isolation, being disconnected from both its European roots and the surrounding Middle Eastern region. He notes a significant demographic shift, with 50% of Israeli Jews now being of Muslim-world descent, challenging the traditional "Western" image of Israel. He observes Israel's transformation from a "social and democratic" state to a "democracy in deficit," "harsh capitalist," and "very religious" society. Burg characterizes the recent events, starting with October 7th and extending to the current conflict, as the beginning of a "first religious fundamentalist war, world war," involving Jewish and Muslim fundamentalism. A deeply concerning issue for Burg is the repeated attempts by fanatic groups to destroy the Al-Aqsa complex on the Temple Mount, which he believes would have catastrophic global consequences, signaling "the end of justification of the existence of the state of Israel." He expresses concern that even the Israeli army, once seen as a moderating force, is increasingly influenced by "Messianic mission" ideologies from the settler movement. Despite these grave concerns, Burg maintains hope. He believes the majority of Israelis ultimately desire a "good life" and will eventually choose a "liberal democracy" over "craziness." He advocates for a Middle East "clean of weapons of mass destruction," including Israel, a solution he believes only the U.S. could impose. He emphasizes the importance of restoring trust in America as a stabilizing force globally. Finally, Burg reflects on his role as a dissenting voice. Despite facing loneliness and criticism, he sees his position as rooted in the Jewish tradition of "disagreement" and a responsibility to offer "alternative narrative[s]" and courage to others, dedicated to thinking and challenging the mainstream.
