Monday, June 2nd, 2008 周一， 2008年6月2日

By通过 Socialist Worker社会主义工人 | Eamonn McCann is a founder of the 1960s civil rights movement in Northern Ireland, a veteran socialist and trade unionist, and one of Ireland’s most widely read journalists. | eamonn麦肯是创始人之一， 20世纪60年代民权运动在北爱尔兰，是一位资深的社会主义和工会，其中爱尔兰的最广泛阅读的记者。 He is the author of他是作者 War and an Irish Town战争和一名爱尔兰城市 , ， Bloody Sunday in Derry: What Really Happened血腥星期日在德里：到底发生了什么 and other books.和其他书籍。

In 2006, as a response to Israel’s savage war on Lebanon, Eamonn and other members of the Derry Antiwar Coalition organized an occupation of a local facility of Raytheon, the US-based weapons maker and world’s largest producer of guided missiles.在2006年，作为回应以色列的野蛮战争对黎巴嫩， eamonn和其他成员的德里反战联盟组织了一次占领当地的设施，雷神公司，以美国为基地的武器制造商和世界上最大的生产者的制导导弹。 Nine activists were arrested and charged with vandalizing the building. 9积极分子被逮捕，并被控以破坏建筑物。 They are on trial now, and could face time in prison if convicted.他们正在受到审判的现在，和可能面临的时间在监狱中如果被判有罪。

In July 2006, members of the Derry Antiwar Coalition organized a protest, occupation and decommissioning of the local Raytheon facility there. 在2006年7月，成员对德里的反战联盟组织的抗议，占领和退役的地方，雷神设施。 Why did you decide to take action? 你为什么决定要采取行动？

Our motivation was to prevent war crimes.我们的动机是为了防止战争罪行。 Israel’s bombardment was causing carnage and destruction in Lebanon, and we knew they were using Raytheon manufactured bombs.以色列的轰炸造成了屠杀和破坏，黎巴嫩，我们知道他们使用的雷神公司制造的炸弹。

We were particularly outraged by the bombing of the town of Qana.我们尤其感到愤怒的轰炸，镇卡纳。 Israel dropped a bomb on one complex there, killing 28 people, the majority of them women and children, crushed and suffocated beneath the rubble.以色列下降了一枚炸弹在一个复杂的存在，造成28人，他们大部分是妇女和儿童，粉碎和窒息下方瓦砾。

We believed this required an immediate response.我们认为，这需要立即作出反应。 We decided to take action to disrupt, delay and hamper Raytheon’s ability, in whatever way possible, to deliver weapons of mass destruction to Israel and participate in war crimes.我们决定采取行动，破坏，拖延和阻碍雷神公司的能力，无论在可能的方式，提供大规模杀伤性武器到以色列，并参加了战争罪。

As the number of dead and maimed in the Middle East mounts, Raytheon recently announced a further growth of revenues and profits. 由于死亡人数和致残，在中东架，雷神公司最近宣布的进一步增长，收入和利润。 How do you view Raytheon’s relationship to war crimes? 您怎么看雷神公司的关系，以战争罪？

Raytheon, like all arms companies, profits from bloodshed.雷神公司一样，所有的军火公司，利润从流血。 And after all, if there were no wars, governments would not feel the need to buy the high-tech munitions that Raytheon manufactures.毕竟，如果没有战争，各国政府不会觉得有需要购买高科技的弹药雷神公司制造。

Raytheon is one of the many companies that fuels war for profit.雷神公司就是其中的许多公司的燃料战争牟利。 But the Raytheon company also has a political agenda.但是，雷神公司也有一个政治议程。 Adam Cherill, the business manager of Raytheon, if my memory is correct, has said that the Palestinian people have no connection to the land of Palestine—that they have no culture, no society and no historical ties to the land.亚当cherill ，业务经理的雷神公司，如果我没有记错的是正确的，有说，巴勒斯坦人民没有连接到巴勒斯坦土地上-他们没有文化，任何社会和任何的历史联系，以土地。 Now, that is not a commercial statement.现在，这不是一个商业的声明。 That is a political statement.这是一项政治声明。

The Raytheon company is closely tied to the top brass of the Pentagon.雷神公司是紧密联系在一起的顶端黄铜的五角大楼。 So they are complicit in everything that happens in the Middle East.因此，他们串通，在一切发生在中东。 In particular, they are complicit in war crimes committed through the use of Raytheon munitions.特别是，他们是共犯在战争中犯下的罪行，通过使用雷神公司的弹药。

We know that towards the end of the Israeli-Lebanon conflict in the summer of 2006, Raytheon rushed so-called bunker-buster bombs.我们知道，在接近年底时，以色列-黎巴嫩的冲突在2006年夏天，雷神公司送往，使所谓的钻地炸弹的炸弹。 They delivered a rush-order, of these bombs just a short time before the war ended so that Israel could continue bombing.他们发表了繁忙秩序，这些炸弹只是一个短期的时间之前，战争结束后，使以色列可以继续轰炸。

Israel had dropped so many bombs over southern Lebanon, south Beirut and elsewhere that they were actually running out of supplies.以色列已下降这么多炸弹，黎巴嫩南部，贝鲁特南部和其他地方，他们其实是失控的用品。 Raytheon rushed two Airbus transport planes from the United States to Israel in order to replenish supplies, even though, at that point, it was known that their munitions were being used to bomb civilians, to target ambulances and civilian infrastructure.雷神公司送往两个空中客车运输机从美国，以色列在以补充供应，即使在这一点上，它被称为他们的弹药被用来轰炸平民，目标救护车和民用基础设施。 So this is a company which is knowingly involved in war crimes.因此，这是该公司是明知所涉及的战争罪行。

The trial of the Raytheon 9 began last week in Belfast. 审判雷神9从上周开始，在贝尔法斯特。 The trial was moved from Derry, and the presiding judge imposed a media gag on all discussion of the case. 审判动议由Derry ，和庭长施加了媒体的gag对所有讨论的情况。 Why? 为什么？

The trial was moved to Belfast because the judge reckoned that there would be sympathy for the Raytheon 9 in Derry, because the defendants were well known to a wide range of people in Derry.审判被转移到贝尔法斯特，因为法官认为会有同情，雷神9月在德里，因为与讼人分别为熟知的各种各样的人在德里。

Now, there also could have been hostility to the defendants in Derry.现在，也有可能会被敌视被告在德里。 I wouldn’t rule this out, because all the main parties in Derry and in the local area were all sharply condemnatory of the Raytheon 9.我不排除这一点，因为所有的主要当事方在德里和在本地区均大幅谴责的雷神9 。

But anyway, the judge transferred it to Belfast and imposed a media gag because, he said, the coverage of the case would in itself have the potential to prejudice the jury’s decisions.但无论如何，法官转移到贝尔法斯特，并施加了媒体的gag ，因为他说，覆盖面的情况将在本身有潜力的偏见陪审团的决定。

This was complete nonsense.这是完全荒谬的。 Cases trialed in Northern Ireland are regularly covered in advance of the actual trial.案件试验在北爱尔兰的定期涵盖在前进的实际审判。 It was completely out of order.这是完全失控的秩序。 So it was an absolutely meaningless reason for imposing the media gag.因此，这是一个绝对没有意义的理由强加给媒体的gag 。 What it did was take the issue of the Raytheon 9 and anything controversial for the Raytheon company itself out of the public arena.是什么做的，采取的问题，雷神9日和任何争议，雷神公司走出公众场合。 And it meant that the media didn’t even report on developments at the Raytheon plant, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the case.它意味着，媒体甚至没有对事态发展的报告在雷神公司工厂，没有什么做的与案件有关。

The Raytheon 9 has received tremendous support in Ireland and around the world. 雷神9月已收到了巨大的支持，在爱尔兰和世界各地。 Among the many who have spoken out in your defense are Noam Chomsky, George Galloway, Tony Benn, Christy Moore and George Monbiot. 在众多谁发言，指出在您的防御是诺姆乔姆斯基，乔治加洛韦，托尼本，克里斯蒂穆尔和乔治monbiot 。 Yet none of the local political parties or their representatives have come to your defense. 然而，没有一个地方政党或他们的代表来你的防御。 This is no surprise from the right-wing parties, but Sinn Fein, especially during the 1980s, prided itself on support for national liberation struggles in Central America and the Middle East, viewing itself in solidarity with all anti-imperialist struggles. 这是毫不奇怪，从右翼政党，但新芬党，特别是在八十年代，引以为傲的支持，争取民族解放的斗争，在中美洲和中东，看自己在声援所有反帝爱国斗争。

None of the mainstream parties—none of the four parties which form the new executive of Northern Ireland—has supported the Raytheon 9.没有主流政党-没有四个政党组成新的行政长官，北爱尔兰-支持雷神公司9 。 And this is despite the fact that Sinn Fein, in particular, has always presented itself as a socialist organization, as an anti-imperialist organization.这是尽管事实是新芬党，尤其是一向提交本身作为一个社会主义组织，作为反帝国主义的组织。

But the truth is that the closer Sinn Fein got to power, the more they ditched their supposed socialist principles that would involve any anti-American activity.但事实的真相是，更紧密的新芬党获得权力，他们越是ditched他们假定的社会主义原则，这将涉及任何反美活动。

Sinn Fein is determined to maintain the friendship of the Bush administration.新芬党是有决心维持的友谊，布什政府。 Indeed, Martin McGuiness, the vice president of Sinn Fein, personally invited George Bush to visit Northern Ireland in June this year, in a couple weeks’ time.事实上，李柱铭mcguiness ，副总统的新芬党，亲自邀请布什访问北爱尔兰的在今年6月，在几个星期的时间。 And he has publicly described George Bush as a “friend of Ireland” and “a man of peace.”他曾公开形容布什为“朋友的爱尔兰”和“一个人的和平” 。

So the Sinn Fein party is not just compromised on its supposed anti-imperialist, socialist credentials, but it seems to have moved to the other side.因此，新芬党不只是妥协，其假定的反帝国主义，社会主义的全权证书，但它似乎已转移到其他方面。 Not really an uncommon thing for a nationalist organization once achieving office.没有真正一种罕见的事，是民族主义组织，一旦实现办公室。

In 1968, you helped spark the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland and resistance to the British-supported sectarian state. 在1968年，你帮助星火民权运动在北爱尔兰和抵抗英国支持的宗派状态。 Today, you are still fighting against injustice. 今天，你仍然是打击不公平。

There’sa straight line from 40 years ago to what is happening today.有直线从40年前，发生什么事，今天。 In 1968, we were outraged by the US war in Vietnam and inspired by the Black struggle for civil rights.在1968年，我们愤怒，由美国在越南战争和启发，黑色的斗争，为公民权利。 We were moved by this.我们所提出的这一点。 In Ireland, we were fighting against local injustices, but we viewed ourselves and our struggles as part of an international struggle.在爱尔兰，我们打击地方的不公正现象，但我们认为我们自己和我们的斗争的一个组成部分的国际斗争。

Today, we continue to fight against local injustices in Ireland, but we also see it as connected to a global struggle.今天，我们继续打击当地的不公正现象在爱尔兰，但我们也看到，它作为连接到一个全球性的斗争。 There’s never been a contradiction between fighting local injustices and fighting injustice in the world.还有的从来就不是一个矛盾，争取地方的不公正和不公平的战斗，在世界上。

The US is attempting to violently dominate the Middle East and control the oil there.美国是企图以暴力称霸中东和控制石油。 Iraq and Lebanon, as well as Palestine, are at the frontline of this struggle.伊拉克和黎巴嫩，以及巴勒斯坦，是在前线的这场斗争。 The location of struggle may have changed, but the struggle for liberation and justice continues.位置的斗争，可能已经发生变化，但争取解放的斗争和正义的继续。
