Israeli Jewish public a sprawling around the demonstration against the annexation Saturday night, and what he describes as a more complex story waving flags of Palestine in Tel Aviv. Too bad that not many stop for a moment to ask - how it looks from the other side, that the Arab public demonstration caused a controversy has political implications.

Yo "The joint leader, MK Ayman Odeh, was one of the leaders and pushers for the demonstration, but his call on the Arab public" to participate in the huge demonstration on the occasion of 53 years of occupation "drew severe criticism on social networks. Not only were some who reminded him that the occupation began in 1948, But many have decided to oblige the Communist Party to help establish the State of Israel, and this has led its supporters to fight back 

, in fact, more and more portrayed as an Arab politician who actually cracks the Jewish left and prefers to join forces with him, rather than the Arab political streams And their supporters, for those who avoided it, were absent from the demonstration.

There is no doubt that MK Odeh was able to record impressive achievements: he faced the IDF at the top of the list and managed to retain Hadash's power, thereby demonstrating that Hadash is the largest and central party in the Arab public, as well as maintaining the Arab parties' unity within the list. Shared and achieved a record in the history of Arab politics in Israel.

And yet, despite all Arab parties' opposition to the annexation plan and the Netanyahu government, the Arab parties did not share the demonstration, which clearly indicates a trend of mutual disengagement between them. Hadash people may now want to maintain their identity as an Arab-Jewish party, thinking that in due course, and not for a long time, the party will lead the Israeli left, and will become the camp leader - both political and economic left. The

potential for this is greater than it seems. grains response to the idea of the Jewish left, there is an expectation of cooperation and integration of forces between Minstream Samuel Zionist, even with Meretz tries to recover from the blow it received from the labor party, according to polls, is deteriorating political map in Israel. 

with the weakening of the Arab parties, especially Balad and the Islamic movement of South The scenario of dismantling the joint list is not impossible, and clues to this trend are emerging, partly in the polemic that arose in Arab society around the demonstration. The interesting thing is that the claims on the right about the diminishing decline of the Zionist left, as we knew it, receive some confirmation from the reaction of the Arab public to the demonstration.
