- The credit for Netanyahu’s failure belongs to Palestinian citizens of Israel. The centrist Blue and White opposition maintained its size but failed to make any inroads into Netanyahu’s base. The union of left parties lost four seats. It was the Palestinian-led Joint List which was able to dramatically increase the turnout among Palestinian voters. In April 2019, the two parties representing Palestinian voters received 337,000 votes. In September, running together as the Joint List, they achieved 470,000, and in March 2020 they reached over 575,000; a more than 70% rise in one year. Without this surge, it is all but certain that Netanyahu would have been able to form a government.
If I calculated correctly, the voter turnout in the Arabic community was around 70%. Compare that to the red line in this graph and you understand how angry the Arabs are.
(hubsky doesn't support png?)
I would say trump and his plan are the reason why Netanjahu won't make a coalition and is heading to jail.
Thanks, Obama! I mean, Trump* Lie to Hubski and say the .png is a .jpg in the link. This must be the first time in years that a major Western politician known for their corruption might face justice. It’s pretty clear that the problem is still generally growing worse. Anyway, this is good news (edit: nevermind), and I’m happy for you, Cumol. We sincerely apologize for our president. Oh, and I guess if Bibi has any dirt on Trump, that might come to light. You never know.
Actually, it is also thanks to a very stubborn Russian dude called avigdor lieberman. Not a nice guy and definitely not better than Netanjahu. But, his party was very adamant about their wishes for a coalition (secular right wing, mandatory army for orthodox jews) which don't align at all with the rest of the right wing block (no army for right wing jews). So they won't go into a coalition with the right and thereby save everyone's ass... And he is really not a good guy in geberal
Bummer. Thanks for the info. I see the .jpg rename attempt wasn't successful. Dunno, it might need "www."? No idea anymore. But I liked on the x-axis when the dates went into some sort of Arabic(?).
