Israel Labor Party Chief Proposes Forming Government with Arabs
2021-04-24
This is why hardly anyone in Israel votes Labour.
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Head of Israel’s Labor Party Merav Michaeli has suggested forming a government, including both Arab lists and led by Yair Lapid.

In an unprecedented step, Michaeli submitted the proposal to her colleagues in the liberal right, centrist and left-wing parties.

The Labor party is considered the founder of the Zionist movement and the Jewish state,
...by some including themselves, certainly...
and it established the policy of casting Arabs aside and discriminating against them.

"Israel has been going through a historic change in its relations with Arabs," she said.

"They (Arabs) have been excluded from the partnership for decades, following the racist incitement campaign led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since 1993," she explained.

However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
she affirmed that Jews have come to accept their presence.

Michaeli noted that Netanyahu has recently changed his rhetoric and now considers partnership with them legitimate and conducts a positive dialogue to form an alliance with the Islamic movement.

She recalled his fight against Arab presence in his alliance with Yitzhak Rabin, explicit warnings against the flow of Arabs to the ballot boxes and his bloody incitement that led to Rabin’s liquidation.

The Labor chief emphasized that a government including Arabs can be formed within days for having a majority of 61 deputies.

"Lapid’s centrist Yesh Atid party has 17 seats, Benny Gantz’s Blue and White has 8 seats, Labor Party and Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu party each has 7 seats, in addition to Ayman Ode’s Joint List, Gideon Saar’s New Hope Party and Nitzan Horowitz’s Meretz Party each has 6 seats and Mansour Abbas’s Islamic Movement has 4 seats," Michaeli explained.

#2  I guess 'Labor party' spells the same nonsense everywhere. Also, how can an Arab lover have any zionist leanings? Do they mean an WAKF administered Zion?

And she can't count either.
Ever mind that Liberman & Sa'ar's parties will explode if they go with Arabs parties that deny the right of Israel to exists.
