    Elections were today. Preliminary results show a very strong possibility for change.

    Which Israeli political party opposes the genocide in Palestine, again?

      The opposition is generally a lot softer on Palestine issue. Democrats (8 seats) and Arab parties (19 seats) have very good policies.

      Generally the center opposition parties have “reasonable” policies, Together (12 seats) is moderate and Yashar (21 seats) more or less “keep current status but remove some settlements and don’t add new”.

      The change from ethnic cleansing and genocide as a policy/talking point is a pretty major shift and governing parties are projected to get 53 seats out of 120.

      Coalition agreements are going to be pretty tough but there’s hope for a centre left block with Arab parties since a lot of things that are good for Palestinians are also generally economically good policies. This is a stark contrast to working with ultra orthodox parties which cost the state a lot of issues.
