Ra'am and the Joint List: Claims About the Jewish State

And I want to emphasize, all the quotes I've brought up so far are from Ra'am members of the Knesset.

But no, not only Ra'am.

If you're considering bringing Ra'am into the government, you're also talking about the Joint List.

So there are people in this chamber who, for some reason, think that when it comes to the existence of the Jewish state and Zionism, there's a big difference between the supposedly moderate Ra'am and the extremist Joint List.

Well, no.

In their attitude toward the Jewish state, there's no difference at all.

The only difference is among themselves.

They both agree that the State of Israel must be destroyed.

They only disagree about what kind of Palestinian state will be established here on the ruins of the Jewish State of Israel.

An Islamic state in the Muslim Brotherhood mold, like Hamas in Gaza, or a nationalist Palestinian state in the Fatah mold?

That's the only difference. But there is one thing they do agree on.

Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state.
