Tel-Chai Nation: Israeli Arabs are disappointed in parties allegedly representing them

An interesting report about disillusionment in the Arabic sector of Israel with the Arab political parties in the Knesset that ignore and aren't doing anything to help the constituents, who want to vote for other parties instead now:

"The Joint Arab List let Israeli Arabs down in its last term. It didn't represent us and it did great damage to the [average] Arab citizen who wants to integrate," says Abu Ghosh resident Abdul al-Rahman ahead of the April 9 Knesset election.

Many Israeli Arabs who have been disappointed by those who were supposed to represent their interests in the Knesset share al-Rahman's sentiments now, according to recent polls. In the upcoming election, they intend to settle the score at the ballot box and not vote for officials who have not focused their efforts on the sector's struggles.

"With the atmosphere already tense, they are adding fuel to the fire in order to suppress the Arab citizen," al-Rahman says.

"The Joint Arab List wants to see an inferior, humiliated Arab, like a cat that needs to be petted. Why? Because as long as the Arabs in Israel are in a state like that, it does the work for them. They want the Arabs to beg them and be weak compared to them. They abandoned the citizens who voted for them and [instead] focused on the interests of Abu Mazen [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas] and Syria," he says.

In the 2015 election, some 90% of Israeli Arabs voted for the Joint Arab List, but with the party now in tatters, this time around, many say they will vote for other parties all along the political spectrum.

What's encouraging is that those disappointed with the Arab parties are less interested in ideology this time:

Dr. Suhaila Ahmad Halil, a doctor from the northern city of Acre, spoke to Israel Hayom about the issues that matter most to her and many others in the country's Arab sector. The Palestinian struggle, it should be noted, was nowhere on the list.

And that's a good thing if they're moving away from an unproductive belief and position that only hurt everyone years before. Avoiding such ideologies helps to improve unity in Israel. We'll see what happens in the next month and a half.

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“The genocide of Israel’s Jewish population
– a population roughly the size of the Polish
Jewish population at the beginning of World War II
– is not an unrealistic nightmare.

Nothing today prevents it other than Israel’s
military superiority over the combined Arab armies
and terrorist organizations. If the Arab armies
and terrorists were capable of defeating Israel,
destroying its Jewish population, and “reclaiming”
ALL of current Israel, there can be little doubt
that they would try to do so.

Indeed, if any Arab leader were militarily capable
of destroying Israel, but refrained from doing so,
he would be replaced by someone who would at least try.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“…if Israel’s military power were ever to be
diminished to the point that the combined armies
of the Arab world could defeat it, I believe
there would be another Holocaust.

No Arab dictator who could defeat Israel
and forebore from doing so would survive
the continuing frenzy for jihad
[Islamic holy war against non-Muslims].

And an Arab military victory over Israel
– unlike the Israeli victories over the
Arabs – would not result in a mere occupation
or even detention of Israeli Jews.

It would result in a mass slaughter,
designed to rid Arab holy land of Jewish
intruders. Most Jews know this, though
they rarely speak of it openly.”

“AIPAC and other pro-Israel organizations
exist, in part, to ensure that Israel
maintains a competitive military and
technological edge so that the Arabs
don’t overrun it and commit the
second Holocaust they repeatedly promise…”
