Great news! Less than one year after Kamal Nawash and I met the head of Ra'am-Ta'al, Sheikh Ibrahim Sarsur, and told him about our federal model.
He told us that he will speak about the federal solution to the party. He dit it! ![]() The party has adopted the Federation in its platform! "The joint Arab party list, Ra'am-Ta'al, has changed its party platform "due to the failure of the two-state solution." After calling for years for a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the party now calls for a democratic bi-national state as the solution to the conflict, which would fulfill the right to self-determination of both peoples, including the right of return for Palestinian and Jewish refugees who want to return and with Jerusalem as its capital. Maariv noted that adopting a bi-national state solution is against the Parties Law, according to which, no party can negate Israel's existence as a Jewish and democratic state." http://peacenow.org/entries/news_nosh_101912#.UJVTtMXZYyE It is clear for us that a Jewish-Arab federation will be much more Jewish than the State of Israel in its present form.
