How Zionist Left May Revive

Did you have a feeling that the left would lose in these elections?
Almost 30 percent of Arab voters gave their votes to Zionist parties? A shocking fact
In your opinion, what actually happened to the Zionist left?
Why in your opinion did the left become a minority in Jewish society?
You don’t think that maybe the path is mistaken, that the ideology of the left has simply failed in the test of reality?
From a practical perspective, how exactly will Meretz people, who promote the rights of the gay community, sit together with people of the Islamic movement, whose representative in the previous Knesset was married to two women?
Could you live in peace with people from Hadash, some of whom declare their support for Bashar al Assad?
In every Arab party, from Hadash to Balad, there are Knesset members who meet with the families of terrorists. How will you be able to cooperate with such an agenda?
In the previous elections the Joint List was not prepared to sign an excess votes agreement with Meretz. In such a reality, the route for a joint path seems distant to impossible.
It is clear that Balad and entities in Arab society will try to thwart the connection with Zionist parties.
And even so, it will be very difficult for Arab members of the Knesset to connect with parties like Meretz and the Labor Party.
Gidon Levy wrote after the April 2019 elections that moving forward jointly with the Arabs will mandate surrender of “the Zionist defects.” That is waiver of the national symbols and full equality.
