The united Arab list is a combination of three parties that had 11 seats among them. They really have nowhere to go. Besides Merrtz, a far left party, nobody wants to align with them and they don’t want to be part of anyone else’s coalition. The Arab parties simply are not a force in Israel’s government.
As I noted above, Arabs are free to vote for any party they wish, and no party has a platform that is anti-Arab (Lieberman does want to trade some Arab towns in Israel for Jewish towns in Judea and Samarka if there is a land swap in connection with formation of a Palestinian state, and he had proposed paying Arabs who want to emigrate from Israel). There is no reason besides racial politics for Israeli Arabs to vote for the Communist Islamic parties that united to form the combined Arab list.
The Justice from Israel’s Supreme Court who oversees elections, Jabran, is an Arab who I believe was a member of the Labor party, although I may be mistaken about his previous party affiliation before he became a justice.
So you don’t think the increase in votes of Arabs is going to endanger Israel. I hope not, but when that Arab coalition goes from 4 to 13 in one election cycles LOOKS bad for sure.
Infact Netanyahu warned about the Arabs coming out to vote in droves ...for a reason. It seems time is not on Israel’s side. I’d like to see Israel unilaterally move against Iran and the rest of its enemies ASAP....BUT DOES THE PRIME MINISTER HAVE THAT POWER?
