“My party would represent every Israeli,” the prominent activist said
Failed Arab-Israeli political leaders have made poor decisions over the past decades that have not served their constituents, activist Yoseph Haddad, who is considering entering politics, told JNS on Monday.
“They focused on Ramallah, instead of Nazareth. They focused on Gaza, instead of Rahat. They cared more about the situation of people who don’t vote for them than those who do,” Haddad said.
“If you take any survey among Arab Israelis and ask what issues are at the top for them, you will find out that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is last. Security within their own community, crime, illegal weapons are the issues that Arab-Israeli society cares about way more than the conflict, and every time we go to elections, Arab leaders make promises, intimidate us and sell us illusions,” he added.
