Who really wants change should vote for the Joint List
An opinion column calling for a vote for the Joint List in the upcoming elections. The author argues that those who truly want real change in Israel, not just replacing Netanyahu, must strengthen the only political power that he says fights for true democracy, including ending the occupation and killing in Gaza and the West Bank. He sharply criticizes the Zionist left parties, particularly 'The Democrats', which he claims ignore the occupation.
An opinion column by Barak Heiman, a documentary filmmaker and social activist, calling for a vote for the Joint List in the upcoming elections. The author argues that those who truly want change, not just to replace Netanyahu, must strengthen the only power that he says fights for true democracy in Israel – the Joint List. He sharply criticizes the Zionist left parties, particularly 'The Democrats', which he claims ignore the occupation, the killing in Gaza and the West Bank, and the promotion of Jewish supremacy. The author quotes Prof. Sami Shalom Chetrit, who compares the situation to Germany of 1933, and states that the judicial coup is deeply connected to the occupation. He claims that the Joint List is committed to replacing Netanyahu and will recommend Gadi Eisenkot for Prime Minister, but will demand a quid pro quo. The column ends with a call to vote for the Joint List to strengthen 'the only true left' in Israel.
