A new, far-right government led by Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to officially take office, but already a public revolt is brewing.
由本杰明·内塔尼亚胡领导的新一届极右翼政府还未正式就职，一场公众反抗已经在酝酿之中。
It’s not against the coalition’s looming plans to seize more West Bank land or to undermine the independence of Israel’s judiciary, but rather the handover to religious extremists of key facets of the country’s education system.
这并不是反对联合政府即将实施的夺取大量约旦河西岸土地的计划，也不是反对联合政府破坏以色列司法独立的计划，而是反对联合政府将国家教育系统的关键方面移交给宗教极端分子。
Indeed, among the numerous flash-points this new government – expected to be sworn in next week – may exacerbate are fundamental questions surrounding Jewish values and civic identity in Israel, which was founded both as a liberal democracy and as a homeland for Jews.
事实上，在众多爆发点中，这届以色列新政府(即将于下周宣誓就职)可能会使围绕犹太人价值观和公民身份的基本问题激化。以色列既是自由民主的国家，同时也是犹太人的家园。
Alluding to this month’s Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, termed the Festival of Lights, Israel’s largest parent association wrote as a protest rallying cry in early December: “We’ve come to expel darkness.”
要提一下犹太人的光明节，在12月初，以色列最大的家长协会写下了抗议的战斗口号：“我们是来驱逐黑暗的。”
In quick succession, hundreds of schools and dozens of municipalities across Israel signed on to the petition by the parent association rejecting any radical changes to the education curricula.
很快，以色列各地数百所学校和数十个城市签署了家长协会的请愿书，拒绝对教育课程进行任何激进的改革。
Demonstrations were called, and in a move never before seen in Israeli politics, still-serving centrist Prime Minister Yair Lapid joined in protests against the government that is set to replace him.
以色列召集了数场示威活动，仍在任职的中间派总理亚尔·拉皮德加入了反对下届政府(即将取代他)的抗议活动，这在以色列政坛是前所未有的。
This is “the most extreme and the most insane government in the country’s history,” Mr. Lapid told protesters in Tel Aviv, a bastion of liberalism and secularism, “but we aren’t going to surrender, we are here to stay.”
虽然这是“该国历史上最极端、最荒唐的政府，”拉皮德在特拉维夫城(该城是自由主义与世俗主义的堡垒)对抗议者说，“但我们不会屈服，我们会留在这里。”
The Nov. 1 general election returned a clear parliamentary majority for Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud party and its right-wing allies, which include Jewish ultra-Orthodox and far-right ultranationalist factions.
在11月1日的大选中，内塔尼亚胡领导的利库德党及其右翼盟友重获议会多数席位，其中包括犹太极端正统派和极右翼极端民族主义派。
According to coalition agreements already signed, Mr. Netanyahu has given his more radical partners unprecedented powers over the national police, government policy in the occupied territories, most issues of religion and state, and integral parts of the education system.
根据已经签署的联盟协议，内塔尼亚胡给予了他的激进盟友前所未有的权力，涉及国家警察、占领区的政府政策、大多数宗教和国家问题，以及教育系统的组成部分。
No one individual serves as more of a focal point for Israel’s current debate over identity and values than Avi Maoz, whose extreme religious-nationalist Noam party ran on a campaign of “traditional” family values and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.
没有人比阿维·毛兹更能成为以色列目前关于身份和价值观的辩论焦点，他的极端宗教民族主义政党诺姆党开展了一场宣扬“传统”家庭价值观与反性少数群体的运动。
Despite Noam securing a solitary seat in parliament, Mr. Netanyahu granted Mr. Maoz a deputy ministerial post with control over all external curricula allowed in mainstream secular schools in the vast state-run education system.
尽管诺姆党在议会中只获得了一个单独的席位，但内塔尼亚胡还是授予了毛兹一个副部级职位，让他控制庞大的国有教育体系中主流世俗学校(与宗教学校相对)允许开设的所有外部课程。
Additional responsibilities include a new amorphous “Jewish Identity Authority.”
其他职责包括领导一个乱七八糟的新“犹太身份权威机构”。
