In an opinion piece in Al-Ittihad, Harun Bashara argues that boycotting the Knesset elections, despite its moral, national, and religious motivations, may lead to weakening Palestinian representation and leaving the arena to extreme right-wing parties that adopt racist policies. The author calls on members of the Northern Islamic Movement, Abnaa al-Balad, and Neturei Karta to reconsider the boycott and vote for the Joint List, considering participation a political tool for confrontation and not acceptance of the system.
