Frmr Meretz MK @mossi_raz, now running for the HaDemocratim Knesset slate, says he's worried about possible moves to disqualify parties representing the Arab community; and rejects the "racist discourse", even of anti-Netanyahu leaders like Bennett, Lapid.https://t.co/FevBWxK54y

If you're in Israel & Palestine:
Saturday, 6/6, in Haifa: National Jewish-Arab demonstration, marking 59 years of Occupation; organized by @PeacePartners24. March starts from Paris Square.
Friday, 6/12, in the West Bank: A freedom march with the Palestinian communities.

Regarding the HaDemocratim (Labor/Meretz) slate itself: Raz is disappointed that an Arab representative is guaranteed only the party's #12 (and #13) slot, and he's calling for a campaign to get Arab candidates elected higher than that in the upcoming party primaries.

"When you see [the gov't reps] leading the NY Israel Parade," said @avidabush of HaDemocratim, "you get why our task" - convincing young Diaspora Jews to believe in Israel and the fight against "ugly occupation and Jewish terror and for democracy, justice, peace" is "so hard".

[אבי דבוש @avidabush]

אלה הפנים של ישראל.

אנחנו עושים מאמץ עצום לחבר צעירים יהודים לישראל. להסביר שאפשר לאהוב ולהאמין בישראל, ולבקר ולהיאבק על פניה. נגד כיבוש וטרור יהודי מכוערים, אלימות ומונופול אורתודוקסי קיצוני ובעד דמוקרטיה, צדק ושלום. שישראל, היהדות והציונות לא שווים בן גביר וסמוטריץ׳.

כשרואים את המובילים של מצעד ישראל בניו יורק מבינים לגמרי למה המשימה שלנו כל כך קשה.

השר עמיחי שזורק בהבל פה פצצות אטום על מליוני אנשים והשר וסרלאוף, מעריץ כהנא, מובילים את המצעד. לתפארת מדינת ישראל האלימה, גזענית ודכאנית. לצידם יו״ר כנסת שלא מכיר בנשיא בית המשפט העליון.

אפשר להתעלם ממה שקורה מעבר לים. לבטא ״אהבת ישראל״ בבוז דוחה כלפי שני מליון רפורמים והרבה למעלה ממחצית היהודים הליברלים והשמאלנים. אי אפשר לטעון שלא מדובר בהרס מוחלט של מדינת היהודים והערכים עליהם נוסדה.

אבל, אני אופטימי. נחליף ונתקן. בקרוב❤️‍🩹🇮🇱🕊️

"Poor Zionism. Had it only retired early ... and realized that winners possess the bandwidth for compromise, it might today be enjoying an honorable and dignified old age. Instead, it has been twisted into a vicious weapon..." https://t.co/6aYqGWsqp2

We have a clear-eyed view of Zionism and Israel and aren't afraid to criticize either - though we'd really prefer to be able to praise them.

When the 20-point ceasefire plan was issued last year, we noted that "the plan itself is only as good as the words and actions of the actors who need to implement it" and warned that Netanyahu "has a reputation for sabotaging deals". Here we are. https://t.co/acnHuiQgsf
