Whoever is Jewish and democratic votes for the Arab parties
Dr. Bari Danino argues in an opinion column that the most natural vote for those who believe in a Jewish and democratic Israel is for the Joint List or Ra'am. He bases this on the commandment 'Love the stranger,' which appears 36 times in the Torah, compared to the commandment to remember Amalek, which appears once, and claims that Israeli Judaism is oppressive. He describes racism against Arabs in the healthcare system and notes that Yoav Segalovich's joining Ra'am is a groundbreaking political step.
Dr. Bari Danino, a senior physician at Ichilov Hospital, argues in an opinion column that the most natural vote for those who believe in a Jewish and democratic Israel is for the Joint List or the Ra'am party. He bases his argument on the commandment 'Love the stranger,' which appears 36 times in the Torah, compared to the commandment to remember Amalek, which appears once, and claims that Judaism in its Israeli version is oppressive and sanctifies the latter. Danino describes racism against Arabs in the healthcare system, including requests by Jewish families not to be treated by Arab doctors. He claims that most parties automatically disqualify Arab votes and states that Yoav Segalovich's joining Ra'am is the only political step since October 7 that presents a vision and breaks the mold. Voting for the Arab parties, he says, is an act of identification and resistance to wars.
