Emerging Israeli Phenomena

These are not ordinary manifestations that are sweeping the Israeli settler society, manifestations that indicate a state of anxiety, tension, and a search for exits to address the unclear predicament that is sweeping Israeli society, certainly carrying a state of contradiction in dealing with Palestinian society. These manifestations are not limited to one area over another, to the 48 areas, without the 67 areas, but there is an unannounced acknowledgment that Israeli superiority, expansion, settlement, and oppression have not abolished the Palestinian people, nor have they ended them, which is an expression of the strategic failure of the Israeli settler project that managed to occupy the entire map of Palestine, but failed to expel, displace, and deport the entire Palestinian people. Unprecedented manifestations, even if heterogeneous, but they all pour into one stream, which is the existence of a Palestinian people, whom the settler project, with all its components, capabilities, and superiority, has not been able to end, and the impact of this existence on the components of Israeli society. Initially, slight manifestations, attempts to create and acknowledge the existence of two parties, Israeli and Palestinian, Arab and Hebrew, among the existing human condition in the 48 areas, and if we exclude the experience of Zionist parties, from the Labor Party, to the Likud, and the Meretz movement and others, and their repeated attempts to win Palestinian tools in their ranks, which practically diminished after the Land Day uprising in 1976, which formed a state of awakening led by the Communist Party and the Democratic Front, and the emergence of Arab parties at the beginning of the nineties: the Arab Democratic Party, the Islamic Movement, the National Democratic Assembly, the Arab Movement for Change, the Arab Nationalist Party, and the Sons of the Village movement and others, and the significance of this and its striking impact is that the Palestinian vote reached 54% in favor of Zionist parties, and decreased in 2022 to only 13%. The first prominent phenomenon is the birth of organizations, however small and modest they may seem, but they reflect a state of focus on combining the Israeli element with the Palestinian element, Arab with Hebrew, with emerging parties that do not yet have popular credibility, but these are ongoing attempts: 1- The "All its Citizens" party, led by Avraham Burg, former Speaker of the Knesset. 2- The "Together We Succeed" party, led by Israeli businessman Avi Shaked. 3- "A Place for All of Us," led by Rula Daoud and political activist Alon Lee Green. These emerging party attempts clearly carry a partnership between the Israeli and Palestinian parties, Hebrew and Arab, similar to the Communist Party, which has made deep strides and now has credibility in partnership and members of the Knesset from both sides, but the ongoing attempts reflect the realization that there are two parties that have become partners, neither of whom has been able to eliminate the other, or end its existence despite the deep political, economic, national, and ethnic differences between the two parties due to the legacy of authoritarianism, oppression, and cancellation of everything Palestinian and Arab in the 48 areas, but the initial acknowledgment through these party attempts reflects a state of development that the careful observer cannot overlook or underestimate its motives, or not consider it as an indication of the Israeli party's acknowledgment of the existence of a partner it has not been able to expel and cancel its existence on its homeland, which it has no other. This phenomenon will have consequences, especially since Arab parties have failed to penetrate Israeli society and gain an Israeli partnership working within their ranks, with the exception of the Communist Party, in order to achieve equality in the 48 areas, and independence and an end to the occupation in the 67 areas.
