Da bietet sich nun zwei ausgesprochen linken Landesverbänden die Chance, in einen linken Senat einzutreten und mutige, progressive Politik zu machen. Obendrein könnte man die unbeliebten Christdemokraten aus dem Rathaus ablösen.

Israel's Central Election Committee has excluded three Arab United List parties and the Islamist Ra'am party from the October 27 parliamentary election, saying they supported the armed struggle against Israel or did not recognize its Jewish character.
