Israel’s center-left leader says his party must stop being seen as ‘Arab-lovers’

(20.4.2016) The leader of Israel’s center-left Zionist Union opposition party said Tuesday that to win over more of the Israeli public it had to stop giving the impression that it is a party of “Arab-lovers,” a derogatory term often used by the extreme right to insult those who they perceive as obsessively defending and championing Israeli Arabs or Palestinians, whether in the political or social spheres.
