Arab Knesset leader: Don‘t call me ‚a demographic problem‘

(27.Juli) During a Peace Now conference in Tel Aviv on July 24, Odeh astounded the participants by saying that while the right calls „death to Arabs,“ the left does the killing — which can be interpreted as „giving Arabs hell.“

In an interview with Al-Monitor, Odeh cautions that if the left-leaning parties in general, and the Zionist Camp in particular, do not change their attitudes as well as the discourse toward the Arabs, the left will not be able to return to power and will completely lose its only chance of ever winning the support of Arab Israelis.
