With the final vote counted, 92.31% of zionist Israelis voted to the centre-right, right, far-right & ultra-right
7.59% of zionist Israelis voted for the centre-left party, the Democrats
A left wing party calling for full Jewish-Arab equality (Beyachad Natzliach) got 0.09%

Israel doesn’t have a liberal bloc. My take tonight
Ignoring the Historic Arab Turnout Is a Self-Inflicted Wound for Israel's Liberal Bloc. My take tonight

Oh my gawd, how terrible! How extreme! Genuine democracy!? Equal rights?! What a nightmare!
But in all seriousness thanks for making clear these things are incompatible with the Zionist state.
A little humility, please.
Choosing to govern with the support of #Israel's two #Arab parties may seem like a straightforward political calculus 6,000 miles away but let's not forget that the Joint List, by far the largest of the two, ran on a platform in which it described itself as "a genuine democratic alternative to the racist #Zionist consensus" -- meaning not just an alternative to @netanyahu but to the fundamental idea of the state.
The @gadi_eisenkot-led coalition may ultimately decide to rely on their votes to oust the current government but let's not insult people who have devoted their lives to protecting Israel to suggest this is an easy or simple decision. And if they decide against that path, they may have a very good reason.

🚨 URGENT: @the_andrey_x is in very bad shape. He has a concussion and lost consciousness several times while being detained.
Settlers blocked the ambulance from evacuating him. He is now being held ALONE in the ambulance inside the settlement and is being denied transfer to a hospital.
HAPPENING NOW🚨🚨: @the_andrey_x @infinite_jaz and I were attacked by settler-terrorists in Umm al-Khair!!
They beat us, threatened to shoot us, stole Andrey's phone and my glasses and pepper-sprayed Jasper.

A bit bizarre that only two weeks after piling up on the Greens for saying zionism is racism every mainstream commentator is lamenting that the only thing preventing a Netanyahu defeat is the unfortunate fact that … zionism is racism

If Israel wasn’t a Jewish supremacist society [“Zionist] then all the headlines today would be that Netanyahu lost and that a strong Jewish-Arab government in Israel that champions democracy and personal security can place a way forward

I am told the Knesset has 102 seats. Netanyahu got 50 and opposition 52. But for some strange reason even with 102 seats you need 61 seats to form a government. All very odd

What you call the “Jewish center” were parties (Bennett, Liberman) every analyst considered as far-right a few years ago.

The 2SS is not meant to be a “solution”. It is meant to be an exhaust vent for people who are either morally indifferent or committed to the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians and need to buy Israel some more time to carry it out.

Israeli society, like every other settler colonial society in the world, is built on layers upon layers of racism.
The elections continue to reveal the racism in Israel towards Mizrahi Jews. When asked if he will vote for Eizenkot, this market vendor says they will "never vote for a Moroccan" in this market, which is ironically a bastion of Mizrahi Jews. This comes days after an Israeli journalist called Eizenkot a monkey. The deep racism and self-hatred are likely keeping Eizenkot from cleanly defeating Netanyahu. There is a reason Israel has never had a Mizrahi prime minister.

More than 2,200 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from their homes in Hebron by the Israeli army, which continues its military attack in the city, demolishing houses, arresting hundreds of people, and threatening to forcibly displace another 5,000 Palestinians from their homes.

This is Apartheid.
It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide.
To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

I guess it wasnt about Hamas or the hostages after all, but always about ethnic cleansing. Who’d have known!!
