Racism Abounds in Knesset
Writer Akram Atallah argues that the two Arab blocs’ winning 19 seats in the Israeli elections exposed the depth of discrimination against Arabs, as their political participation was rejected by both Benjamin Netanyahu’s camp and the opposition. Arab parties find themselves caught between rejecting Eisenkot’s conditions—including recognition of the state’s Jewish character—and not wanting Netanyahu to remain in power, while religious parties exploit the opposition’s predicament to raise the stakes in their demands. The article concludes that discrimination is entrenched in the structure of Israel’s political system, making it extremely difficult to turn Arabs’ numerical strength into political influence.
