Likud Rise and Arab Discourse
The article focused on the evolution of Arab political discourse within the Israeli Knesset since the rise of the Likud Party in 1977. It shifted from direct opposition to Zionist policies towards a focus on choosing among the ruling Israeli parties, with the Labour Party being presented as "the least harmful" and a candidate for political settlement. The core of the Zionist project did not change; however, it began to be viewed through a lens that manages the conflict between its various factions. During this time, the strength of the Israeli right increased while Labour, the party that founded the state, declined. As a result, the Zionist project remained constant, even as right-wing policies became more extreme. The article also clarifies that Israeli political doctrine—including agreements like Oslo—did not alter the core of the project but continued to manage the conflict within the existing political framework. Moreover, the focus on choosing between right- and left-wing parties distorted the picture, bolstering the right and weakening Labour. This shift had an impact on Palestinian communities within Israel, depriving them of the opportunity to build an independent political and national project.
