This does not include the 1.7 million residents of Gaza, who are not enfranchised. I shouldn't really engage, but I have to ask - is it hard work, becoming this stupid? Becuse nobody's born that daft, surely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I could try and push gay rights in Palestine but there's an intermittent chance the place I'm campaigning in will be levelled by US-sold weaponry or I'll be shot at even if I'm marked as a journo or whatever. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A major cause of the recent aggro was provocative actions on his part aimed at making that sort of cooperation politically impossible. The numbers only work on this because an Arab political faction called Ra'am has emerged that are willing to participate pragmatically in future Israeli coalition governments of whatever ideological orientation as long as their core electorate benefit out of it materially in some way. They only just made it past the 3.25% threshold needed to enter the Israeli parliament and when they did it was very bad news for Netanyahu.

Once they kick out Netanyahu the new leader of Likud will be able to do a deal with the other right wing parties and the anti Occupation and Arab parties will be irrelevant again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
