In Praise of Political Presence and Condemnation of Absence

An opinion article describing the Israeli elections as taking place between a liberal right-wing camp and a fascist one, and at their core, between Israel and Palestine. The writer argues they occur under a fascist regime, a genocide war, and a constitutional coup, aiming to absorb public anger and renew the coalition's mandate to resolve the Palestinian issue through violence and complete the constitutional coup.

An opinion piece on the Arab48 website discusses the current Israeli elections, describing them as ostensibly between a liberal right-wing camp and a fascist right-wing camp, but at their core, elections between Israel and Palestine. The writer argues that these elections take place under a fascist regime, a genocide war, and a constitutional coup, and that this is not the first time elections have been emptied of their democratic content. He notes that the ruling coalition initiated these elections at the height of the protest movement against it, aiming to absorb public anger over the handling of the October 7, 2023 attack and the constitutional coup. The writer believes the goal of the elections is to renew the voters' mandate for the coalition to accomplish two projects it openly advocates: first, resolving the Palestinian issue through violence and wars, and second, completing the constitutional coup and finishing off democracy.
