無線音樂節因英國禁止說唱歌手Ye，原因是其反猶太言論而取消

倫敦（美聯社）——因先前在耶（Ye）的反猶太言論史引發強烈反彈，這名先前以坎耶・威斯特（Kanye West）為名的饒舌歌手週二被禁止入境英國；他原本預定於7月擔任無線音樂節（Wireless Festival）主秀。

音樂節主辦方因這項旅行禁令取消為期三天的戶外活動，並表示已購票者將獲得退款。

耶申請了電子旅行許可，以訪英，但政府以「他的在場不會對公共利益具有『促進作用』」為由予以駁回。

首相凱爾・斯塔默（Keir Starmer）在一則社群媒體貼文中的聲明表示：「坎耶・威斯特不應該被邀請在無線（Wireless）音樂節擔任主秀。這個政府堅定站在猶太社群這邊，我們不會停止在對抗並擊敗反猶太仇恨這種『毒』的鬥爭。為了保護公眾並維護我們的價值觀，我們將永遠採取必要行動。」

這名饒舌歌手在2021年更改姓名，此前人們原本預期他將在7月10日至12日連續三晚於倫敦芬斯伯里公園（Finsbury Park）的無線音樂節，面向約150,000名狂熱觀眾演出他在英國超過十年的首場檔期。該音樂節的其他演出陣容尚未公布。

The event’s organizers had been under mounting pressure from sponsors and politicians to cancel the gigs by the rapper, who has drawn widespread condemnation for making antisemitic remarks and voicing admiration for Adolf Hitler.

Last year, Ye released a song called “Heil Hitler” and advertised a swastika T-shirt for sale on his website. Officials in Australia canceled the musician’s visa in July after the release of the single.

去年，耶發布了一首名為「Heil Hitler」的歌曲，並在他的網站上刊登販售帶有納粹卐字的T恤廣告。澳洲官員在該單曲發布後的7月取消了這名音樂人簽證。

The 48-year-old apologized in January with a letter, published as a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal. He said his bipolar disorder led him to fall into “a four-month long, manic episode of psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behavior that destroyed my life.”

這名48歲的男子在1月透過一封信道歉；該信以《華爾街日報》（The Wall Street Journal）的整版廣告刊登。他表示，自己罹患雙相情感障礙，導致他陷入「長達四個月的狂躁發作，出現精神病性、偏執且衝動的行為，摧毀了我的人生。」

Wireless sponsors Pepsi, Rockstar Energy and Diageo pulled out of the festival since Ye was announced as the headliner.

在耶被宣布為主秀後，無線音樂節的贊助商Pepsi、Rockstar Energy與帝亞吉歐（Diageo）都撤出了該音樂節。

In a statement issued Tuesday before his travel authorization was revoked, Ye said he “would be grateful for the opportunity to meet with members of the Jewish community in the U.K. in person, to listen.

在週二於其旅行許可遭撤銷前發布的一份聲明中，耶表示，他「將感激能有機會親自與英國的猶太社群成員會面、傾聽。

“I know words aren’t enough — I’ll have to show change through my actions,” he said. “If you’re open, I’m here.”

「我知道光靠言語是不夠的——我必須透過我的行動展現改變，」他說。「如果你們願意，我就在這裡。」

Phil Rosenberg, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, had said the group would be willing to meet with the musician if he pulled out of the festival.

英國猶太人代表議會（Board of Deputies of British Jews）主席菲爾・羅森伯格（Phil Rosenberg）曾表示，如果這名音樂人退出該音樂節，該組織將願意與他會面。

“The Jewish community will want to see a genuine remorse and change before believing that the appropriate place to test this sincerity is on the main stage at the Wireless Festival,” Rosenberg said.

羅森伯格說：「在相信要在無線音樂節的主舞台上來檢驗這份真誠之前，猶太社群將會希望看到真正的懊悔與改變。」

Organizer Festival Republic had stood by Ye. In a statement issued Monday, managing director Melvin Benn urged people to offer the performer “forgiveness and hope.”

主辦方Festival Republic曾力挺耶。該公司在週一發布的一份聲明中，董事總經理梅爾文・本恩（Melvin Benn）呼籲人們給予這位表演者「寬恕與希望」。

“We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our country and listened to and enjoyed by millions,” the statement said.

聲明表示：「我們並沒有給他一個平台去宣揚任何形式的意見；我們只是在讓他演唱那些目前在我們國家的電台、在我們國家的串流平台上被播放、並被數百萬人收聽與喜愛的歌曲。」

Announcing the cancellation, Festival Republic said that “multiple stakeholders were consulted in advance of booking Ye and no concerns were highlighted at the time.

Festival Republic在宣布取消時表示：「在預訂耶之前已先諮詢了多方利害關係人，當時並未指出任何疑慮。

“Antisemitism in all its forms is abhorrent, and we recognize the real and personal impact these issues have had,” it said in a statement. “As Ye said today, he acknowledges that words alone are not enough, and in spite of this still hopes to be given the opportunity to begin a conversation with the Jewish community in the U.K.”

「不論以何種形式出現，反猶太主義都令人作嘔，我們也認知到這些問題造成了真實且具體到個人的影響，」該聲明說。「正如耶今天所說，他承認光靠言語並不夠；儘管如此，他仍希望能獲得機會，與英國的猶太社群展開一場對話。」

The Community Security Trust, which works to protect British Jews, said the government had made the right decision.

負責保護英國猶太人的「社群安全信託」（Community Security Trust）表示，政府做出了正確的決定。

“Anti-Jewish hatred should have no place in society and cultural leaders have a role to play in ensuring that is the case,” it said in a statement.

該機構在聲明中表示：「反猶太仇恨不應在社會中佔有一席之地，而文化領袖必須在確保這一點上發揮作用。」

“People who show genuine and meaningful remorse for previous antisemitic behavior will always receive a sympathetic hearing from the Jewish community, but that process must come before this kind of public rehabilitation.”

「對先前的反猶太行為展現真正且有意義的懊悔的人，猶太社群始終會給予同情性的傾聽，但這一過程必須在這種公開修復之前發生。」
