The forthcoming elections to the 25th Knesset will be non-ideological, and full of populism and inaccuracies even among the Arab parties in their war to obtain the votes of Arab voters, who are moving further and further away from exercising their democratic right.
Unlike in the past, this time the Arab street elections are full of hatred, inaccuracies and mutual accusations, and it has been proven in the past that competition and running on two competing Arab lists lowers the percentage of Arab voters, and not the other way around.
Although the explorations and the possibility of reuniting the joint list have already begun, mainly by Arab heads of state, an attempt that is unlikely to succeed, the two lists - the joint and the RAAM - are already preparing their mutual negative campaigns, and this will undoubtedly hurt both and alienate Arab voters.
It is very difficult today to notice significant ideological differences between the Arab parties, especially since the establishment of the joint list, which has managed not only to obscure the differences but to make the Arab public see all parties as one piece.
From a place of unity there was naturally a relinquishment of mutual criticism or competitiveness.
For the first time in the history of the election, the Arab voter may remain at home in the upcoming elections.
Not because of ideological competition, but because of an empty quarrel between the common and the RAAM. Because there is really no gap between the parties: it is a question of going in to bring in budgets, or staying out. .
The joint will be proud that it was not and will not be part of a coalition against the interests of the Arab, or Palestinian public, with an emphasis on what is happening in Jerusalem and the Negev.
On the other hand, RAAM, which will have to deal with quite a few embarrassing issues in the Arab public, will be proud that it made history and entered the coalition for the first time and influences from within, that it was behind the demolition of houses They will not reach their destination due to the elections and the change of government.
The election campaign in Arab society is in full swing, and it has begun since Ra'am joined the coalition a little over a year ago.
But it is populism and Pike News that will decide the election, even though the two lists are in danger: RAAM is in danger against the blocking percentage, and the joint is in danger of not reaching 6 seats.
It all depends on the percentage of voters in Arab society, which this time is expected to reach a historic low and not exceed 40%, simply because Arab voters are disappointed with their representatives in the Knesset.
