We are the losers

Written by: Vida Mashaer
Editor-in-Chief of "Al-Sinara" newspaper
Nazareth
With the advent of every election, the world will rise before and after the results are announced... We all lived looking forward to midnight on Tuesday, when the real picture begins to unfold, and it is more correct that we lived two hours before it, awaiting the results of the polls... even though we were sure that Netanyahu was on his way back to Presiding over the government, either in alliances with the right or more, while betting that tomorrow the Knesset will be in the worst condition, and that tomorrow will be worse, especially since the next elections will take place in a year or two.
Be optimistic, whether the elections are close or not... There is nothing new under the sun, neither our elections nor our country.
In the end, the Arab citizens of Israel are the biggest losers, because our power in this Knesset is the least, and there is no longer any Arab representative in the Knesset in any Jewish party such as Meretz or the Labor party, and these parties will not support us in the future because our vote for them does not affect on them.
As for the Arab parties, they have lost their status and influence, and they are neither in agreement nor united.. Basically, they have lost the trust and respect of their voters.
The democratic system is not necessarily the best system, especially in the presence of oppressed national minorities, which are ruled by a majority in essence racist elements.
* * *
Give me some clarification...
* All the nights of the world end at the dawn of the next day, except for our nights, which end from your best to the darkest.
