There is an opportunity for real correction. Required: courage

Yoni Sapir, in an opinion piece, calls for forming a coalition with Ra'am and supported by the Joint List, and addresses Gadi Eisenkot: "Don't blink." Sapir argues that deep Jewish-Arab partnership is an opportunity for civic correction, and that Arab citizens are not guests but part of the state.

Yoni Sapir, CEO of Future Climate Innovation and chairman of the "Shomrei HaBayit" association, calls in an opinion piece on the Shkuf website for forming a coalition that includes Ra'am and is supported by the Joint List, directly addressing Gadi Eisenkot: "Don't blink. The minister of history is watching you now." Sapir argues that the recent election results present an opportunity for "real correction" in the form of deeper Jewish-Arab partnership, and that this partnership should not be a last resort but a correct civic choice. He cites the story of Ota Benga, displayed at the Bronx Zoo in 1906, to illustrate the power of prejudice and the gap between recognizing equality and its actual implementation. Sapir emphasizes that Arab citizens are part of the state and that their equal rights are not a favor done to them. The article details potential benefits of such a partnership: fighting crime in Arab society, reducing gaps, formulating fair civil service tracks, strengthening relations with Arab countries, and improving Israel's international standing. Sapir qualifies that civic equality does not require agreement with every Arab party, and that political partnership should be evaluated based on positions and agreements, not national identity.
