The article presents an opinion analysis of the Israeli elections, asserting that they are not a contest between right and left, but between an extreme racist Zionist right and an even more extreme Zionist right. It cites statements by opposition leader Avigdor Lieberman, who rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state and calls for the cancellation of the Oslo Accords and the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority. It also refers to the position of Gadi Eisenkot, a former chief of staff and head of the 'Yashar' party, who supports continued settlement in the West Bank and opposes a Palestinian state, and calls for continuing the war on the Gaza Strip to eliminate Hamas. The article mentions that Eisenkot's party platform calls for annexing 58% of the West Bank and keeping the rest under Israeli security control. It concludes by calling on the Palestinian people and their active forces to change the balance of power through steadfastness, resistance, and mobilizing international support to impose boycott and sanctions on Israel.
