The Joint Arab List in Israel's Knesset


(Israel Hayom-JNS) Jonathan S. Tobin - Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East. That means all of its citizens - both Jews and non-Jews - have full rights under the law, including voting and serving in the Knesset. In the recent Knesset elections, the Joint Arab List, a coalition of four different anti-Zionist Arab parties, won 15 Knesset seats. Its largest faction is Hadash - the Israeli Communist Party. Its goals include not merely imposing a Stalinist economic system on Israel, but also the end of a Jewish state. The United Arab List is an Islamist party that wants to replace Israel with an Islamic state along the lines of Hamas-run Gaza. Ta'al, a secular party, wants to replace Israel with a secular Arab state. Balad, also secular, wants to eliminate Israel and merge it with other neighboring countries in a pan-Arab mega-state.
