United Arab List–Ta’al Ibrahim Sarsur 138,450 3.65% 4 seats.
so last time around the arabs got 4 seats this time they got 13?
Hello?
The ARABS ARE THE BIG WINNER HERE.
LOOK AT LIKUDS TRACK RECORD.
12 2006
27 2009
31 2013
30 2015
LIKUD IS STUCK AROUND 30, the arabs are soaring, next time they will be around 20? Sounds like illegal immigration is happening in Israel too. Maybe that’s what odumbis boyz are doing over there in Israel.
Netanyahu better nuke his enemies while he can because the arabs will be taking over Israel within 3 election cycles through the power of the ballot box.
The Arabs combined four parties, the Zionist Union combined two, and the Likud is really the combination of two ... :-) ...
Israeli politics is crazy ... LOL ...
Israel has official IDs that are verified by location for voting.
Threshold to enter Knesset was changed from two seats to four seatsso several Arab parties who hate each other ran together.
Number of Arab MKs has a hard upper limit and they’re about there. Contrary to some beliefs, demographics are working against them.
The united Arab list is a combination of three parties that had 11 seats among them. They really have nowhere to go. Besides Merrtz, a far left party, nobody wants to align with them and they don’t want to be part of anyone else’s coalition. The Arab parties simply are not a force in Israel’s government.
As I noted above, Arabs are free to vote for any party they wish, and no party has a platform that is anti-Arab (Lieberman does want to trade some Arab towns in Israel for Jewish towns in Judea and Samarka if there is a land swap in connection with formation of a Palestinian state, and he had proposed paying Arabs who want to emigrate from Israel). There is no reason besides racial politics for Israeli Arabs to vote for the Communist Islamic parties that united to form the combined Arab list.
The Justice from Israel’s Supreme Court who oversees elections, Jabran, is an Arab who I believe was a member of the Labor party, although I may be mistaken about his previous party affiliation before he became a justice.
