Over 320 Jewish and Arab Academics Call on Public to Vote for the Joint List

Among the signatories are Prof. Amos Goldberg, Prof. Orna Ophir, Prof. Khawla Abu-Baker, Prof. Oded Goldreich, Prof. Nurit Peled-Elhanan, Prof. Oren Yiftachel, Prof. Yehouda Shenhav-Shaer, Prof. Gadi Algazi, Prof. Lior Sternfeld, Prof. Omri Boehm, Prof. Nitza Berkovitch, Prof. Marwan Dwairy, Prof. Raef Zreik, Prof. Yishai Rosen-Zvi, Prof. Gerardo Leibner, Prof. Avner Ben-Amos, Prof. Avishai Ehrlich, Prof. Itzhak Nevo, Prof. Dana Ron, Dr. Anat Matar, Dr. Efraim Davidi and Dr. Ornat Turin.

The statement reads: “We will not give up on a shared future: For equality, peace, and democracy, we will vote for the Joint List. We, academics, express our support for the Joint List and the principles it represents: full equality between Jews and Palestinians; recognition of Palestinians’ civil and national rights; an end to the occupation and the pursuit of a just peace; the struggle against racism and discrimination; and free and equal political representation for all citizens.

“We are living through a period in which racism and incitement are deepening, while the political space for Jewish-Arab partnership is shrinking. The war of annihilation in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, the abuse of prisoners, and the rampant crime ravaging Palestinian society all reflect a destructive policy.

“We seek to stand firmly against this policy and emphasize: There is no democracy without equality, no peace without justice, and no shared future without Jewish-Arab political partnership. We believe that the lives and futures of Jews and Palestinians are intertwined, and that only a joint struggle for freedom, equality, and justice can secure a democratic future for us all. We support the Joint List, its principles, and the struggle it represents for a better life for everyone.”

The Joint List‘s Platform: There is another way

The Joint List strives to change the existing political, social and economic reality, to fight the spread of fascism under the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, and to act to halt all Israeli wars – chief among them the war of annihilation against the Palestinian people. The list is based in principle on the political platform of the first Joint List (2015), and works to realise this vision through representing the national and civil issues of Arab society with head held high, without trading one for the other.

This vision rests on the essential connection between the national and democratic struggle and action for a safe life with dignity. Hence, we place the individual and their dignity at the centre of politics: we link the national and civil rights of the Arab public to social justice and peace, defend the security of our families and our homes, our children‘s education, our health, and jobs and a life of dignity, and act to translate our joint power into tangible change in people‘s lives. This is our platform, and these are the issues we will place at the top of our priorities:

Day after meeting opposition chiefs, Golan says Arab parties could be in next government

(September 27, 2026)

Yair Golan, chair of the left-wing Democrats party, said Sunday that an Arab party could be part of the next government, exposing a fault line among opposition leaders less than a day after they met to coordinate their campaigns and pledged not to attack one another ahead of the October 27 election.

“We believe that an Arab party can be part of the government. It is natural, right, appropriate and democratic,” Golan told the Kan public broadcaster.

Poll: Arab parties reach record high of 15 Knesset seats

(October 19, 2026)

One of the most notable findings in the poll is the combined strength of the Arab parties. The Joint List, with nine seats, and Ra‘am, with five, together reach 14 seats.

In this poll, the Amcha Yisrael party and the Reservists-Economic list fail to cross the electoral threshold.

In the Channel 13 News poll, the Arab parties reach a record 15 seats.

The Joint List Releases Election Ad with Drone Footage of the Devastation in Gaza

After three years in which the scale of destruction in Gaza has remained largely hidden from the Israeli public, the Joint List has dedicated its election campaign ad to showing the reality that has been kept off Israeli screens. The ad was also aired on Israel television.

Fascists Attempt to Storm Joint List Election HQ in Tel Aviv

Fascists identified with the racist Otzma Yehudit party, broke into the Left Bank club in Central Tel Aviv last night (Thursday, October 15). The building also serves as the Joint List elections headquarters, and branch for Hadash and the Communist Party of Israel. The intrusion occurred during the premiere screening of the “Mesarvot” occupation army refusers network’s film, “Not Refusing to Respond,” and led to physical clashes with activists.

A dozen fascists attempted to reach the floor where the headquarters operates. Police arrived only after the activists had been removed from the premises by activists. The Joint List strongly condemned the violent break-in at the campaign’s election headquarters in Tel Aviv. “This marks a dangerous new peak in political violence within the country, representing a perilous escalation and a tangible threat to election integrity. The writing is on the wall, and we must not wait for the next incident to understand the severity of the situation and act decisively,” the statement read.

אנחנו מגנים בחריפות את הפריצה האלימה הערב למטה הקמפיין העברי של הרשימה המשותפת בתל אביב.

בריוני ימין המזוהים עם עוצמה יהודית, המעורבים בקמפיין הבחירות שלה, פרצו למקום ותקפו פעילים ובני נוער שהשתתפו באירוע במועדון ״הגדה השמאלית״.

הכתובת על הקיר, ואסור לחכות לאירוע הבא כדי להבין את חומרת המצב ולפעול בנחישות.

היינו מצפים ממשטרת ישראל לחקור את האירוע ולמצות את הדין עם האחראים, אבל כשהגורמים הפוליטיים שמלבים את ההסתה הם גם אלה ששולטים במשטרה, קשה לצפות ממנה לפעול בנחישות הנדרשת.

בעוד 12 ימים, במו ידינו, נעיף את הפשיסטים מהשלטון.

Right-Wing Activists Disrupt Tel Aviv Screening Hosted by Arab-Jewish Party

Right-wing protesters storm Tel Aviv building housing Joint List campaign office

Zo HaDerekh, a communist publication affiliated with the Joint List’s Hadash faction, reported that only after the protesters left did police show up on the scene at the Left Bank, a central Tel Aviv club that houses several left-wing civil society groups and serves as the base for the Joint List.

The club was hosting the screening of a film by left-wing group Mesarvot (Hebrew for “refusers”), which calls on youth to refuse to serve in the IDF.

The Joint List Submitted Its Candidate List for the Next Elections

In sixth place on the list is incumbent Member of Knesset Dr. Ofer Cassif, who has represented Hadash in the Knesset since 2019. Cassif, who lives in Rehovot, has distinguished himself in recent years through grassroots field activity against the occupation of the Palestinian territories, the war against the Palestinian people in Gaza and social struggles, alongside his extensive parliamentary work.

Hadash, Ta’al and Balad Re-establish the Joint List Ahead of Israel’s Election

The three parties last ran together in 2021, along with the Islamist Ra’am party headed by Mansour Abbas. But Ra’am decided to break off months before the election and run independently. Ra’am won four seats and joined the Naftali Bennett-Yair Lapid coalition.

“In the coming weeks,” Jabareen wrote in a post to X/Twitter on Wednesday evening, “we will work with all our strength to increase voter turnout among the entire public and ensure that the Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich government does not return to power.” “This is not only our mission, but also the mission of everyone who seeks to change the difficult reality in which we live.” According to a Maariv poll published last Friday the Joint List would win eight seats.

‘Organized People Won’: Aisha Wahab Defeats Millions in AIPAC Spending to Win US House Race

Wahab, who ran on slashing prescription drug costs and ending forever wars, will represent California’s 14th Congressional District until at least January. In November, Wahab will face Bay Area Rapid Transit board member Melissa Hernandez again in a race for a full two-year term in the US House. Tuesday’s special election was significantly closer than earlier primary contests, signaling a highly competitive race later this year.

Our Revolution, a progressive advocacy organization that backed Wahab, called her win “a national model for how progressives can defeat big-money outside groups and build a Democratic Party rooted in working people.” The United Democracy Project, AIPAC’s super PAC, spent $2.5 million on the contest in an effort to boost Hernandez.

The Left Notches Another Win With This Secret Weapon: Old-Fashioned Organizing

(August 19, 2026)

The group of volunteers for her underdog Senate campaign sat inside a union office in suburban Broward County, a liberal stronghold in the increasingly Republican-leaning state. It was a small group, maybe a dozen people.

But don’t worry, Ms. Nixon’s political director, Rachel Gilmer, reassured them: “This tiny room is part of many, many tiny rooms” across the state, she said, with more volunteers also ready to knock on Democratic voters’ doors.

Socialists Are Winning Using Old-Fashioned Democratic Means

(June 17, 2026)

We live in an intensely atomized society, and at no point have we been more alone than today, when the old bonds of community have largely eroded after decades of neoliberalism.

(…)

When this is connected to a project of expanding the electorate instead of only trying to persuade frequent voters, at its best, the result is a feeling of equality and common cause between the canvasser and the voter: you knocked on my door, nobody ever knocked on my door before, and you brought to my attention a vision of politics which I hadn’t before been exposed to. I and others have even on occasion recruited people to DSA in this way, after winning a voter over to our candidates.

Hundreds Protest in Lod Against Crime in Arab Community; Anti-Government Rallies Nationwide

(June 14, 2026)

In Tel Aviv, approximately 1,000 demonstrators gathered at Habima Square. At the protest held at the Horev Center in Haifa, activist Nava Rozilio declared in her speech “In spite of the far-right government, there will be democracy here, there will be the rule of law, and Jews and Arabs will live here in full equality. In spite of them, Israel will return to striving for peace instead of drowning in war.”

A joint demonstration of religious and secular citizens against the government also took place at the Ein HaNatziv junction near Beit She’an. This followed an incident the previous week where fascist counterprotesters passing by cursed and attacked the demonstrators. Additional protests were held across the country, including at the Karkur, Tzemach, and Gomeh junctions in the Galilee, as well as in Rosh Pina, Karmiel, Nahariya, the Beer Sheva Performing Arts Center, Elyakim Bridge, Haogen junction, Rehovot, Herzliya, Kfar Saba, the Kabri junction in the Western Galilee and Afula.

Pezeshkian hails Pope’s ‘moral stance’ against US-Israeli war on Iran

In a message addressed to the leader of the world’s Catholics, Pezeshkian stated that the “destructive approach” of the United States and Israel, along with their “illegitimate attacks,” are not directed solely against Iran.

He argued that they are an assault on the rule of law at the global level, international law, human values, and the teachings of divine religions, adding that the costs of this dangerous approach will inevitably be borne by the entire international community.

On Politics, Ideology and Anti-Zionism

Moreover, we have allies in Israel and around the world, who share the same fundamental political goals we strive for – self-determination for the Palestinian people, the end of the occupation, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, and the rejection of all discrimination against Palestinians in Israel. Some of these allies consider themselves Zionist, because they subscribe to a minimalist understanding of Zionism – self-determination for a Jewish collective in Israel. This right was recognized by the international community in the 1947 partition plan of Palestine and was realized by the state of Israel itself.

We do not reject this right, yet as Friedrich Engels said: “A people which oppresses another cannot emancipate itself.” Israel is still preventing the right of self-determination for Palestinians – the right for an independent Palestinian state with real borders and an end to the suffering. We need to work together with those who believe in the rights of both peoples – and some of them are Zionists.

We also know that when a political solution is achieved, it will not be after Jewish Israelis reject Zionism, but when they decide that their collective and individual interests lie on the side of peace. We are materialists – we assert that Zionism, the ideology, will only be overcome after we begin to dismantle its material basis – that of apartheid and colonization.

Therefore, our focus must remain on practical actions against this reality – and not symbolic politics of denunciation. In the German case, this means advocating for concrete actions such as a ban on settlement products import, the suspension of the EU-Israel association agreement, and a complete ban on arms supply to Israel. These actions could challenge Zionism much more than the adoption of the antizionist label.

To every decent human being—regardless of religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, or any other distinction,

To Muslims, Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, and all others of faith,

And to those who follow no formal religion but hold deeply to the universal values of peace, justice, and human dignity:

The U.S. – Israel launched this war of aggression on 28 February 2026, for a second time in less than a year, while Iran-U.S. were engaged in diplomatic negotiations.

This is not merely a war over land, resources, or geopolitics. This is a war that will determine the very meaning of ‚good‘ and ‚evil‘ in our time and for future.

What has been unleashed upon our peace-loving nation is not just another conflict. On one side stand those who delight in violating every law of war and basic human decency—those who murder for sport, who slaughter children to torment their families, who fire newest missiles at women’s sports halls simply to test their destructive power.

This is a war between those who boast of torpedoing unarmed vessels “for more fun,” and those who go to extraordinary lengths to protect innocent lives.

This is a war between professional liars who fabricate justifications for atrocity, and a proud people who defend their homeland and human dignity relying solely on their own strength and resolve.

This is a war between those whose decisions are shadowed by moral compromise, and those who act with a clear conscience.

This is a defining struggle for the future of humankind. It will decide whether civilization’s hard-won achievements—human rights, the rule of law, and basic morality—will survive or be swept away.

We must choose:

Do we accept a world ruled by modern slave masters—arrogant, domineering, and unaccountable—who govern through coercion, lies, and extortion?
Or do we stand for a world grounded in respect, justice, peace, and human dignity?

Humanity’s conscience is not yet dead. But in times like these, silence is complicity with evil.

If you reject the path of barbarism and domination, then find the moral courage to speak, to act, and to stand on the right side of history—before the world descends into an abyss of lawlessness and subjugation.

The choice is yours.
And history will remember.

Hadash Announces Primary Elections and Push for Joint List Consolidation

During the session, political leaders, including the Communist Party of Israel Secretary-General Adel Amer and Hadash Secretary Amjad Shbita, addressed the regional political situation. Discussions centered on the fragile ceasefire, the risk of renewed war on Iran and Lebanon, and the concerning rise of internal fascism and ongoing occupation of Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian territories.

“The establishment of the Joint List is not merely a tactical maneuver,” Hadash stated in an official communique. “It is a fundamental mission to shift the political balance of power and intensify the struggle against the occupation.” In addition to election preparations, Hadash leadership issued a formal call for public mobilization. Activists and supporters are urged to participate in International Workers’ Day events on Friday, May 1, in Tel Aviv, on Saturday, May 2 in Nazareth and other localities.
