[0:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=1) And I want to emphasize, all the quotes I've brought up so far are from Ra'am members of the Knesset.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=8) But no, not only Ra'am.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=11) If you're considering bringing Ra'am into the government, you're also talking about the Joint List.

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=20) 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.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=38) Well, no.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=42) In their attitude toward the Jewish state, there's no difference at all.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=47) The only difference is among themselves.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=51) They both agree that the State of Israel must be destroyed.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=55) They only disagree about what kind of Palestinian state will be established here on the ruins of the Jewish State of Israel.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=64) An Islamic state in the Muslim Brotherhood mold, like Hamas in Gaza, or a nationalist Palestinian state in the Fatah mold?

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=74) That's the only difference. But there is one thing they do agree on.

[1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/KDLWKBrNjxwB/en/ra-am-and-the-joint-list-claims-about-the-jewish-state?t=80) Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state.
