The time has come for an Israeli party, a Jewish-Arab party, that will carry the banner of total commitment to equality, without a trace of discrimination and racism…A party that will sail far beyond the paradigms of Zionism, which to this day ignores Arabs. A party that will demand full equality for all the Arabs citizens, the kind of equality we demand for the Jews in the Diaspora wherever they live.
This blog is dedicated to a new party, Israel Equality (Shivyon Yisrael ) – with the acronym Shai in Hebrew, gift – Join us in our fight for a state that will be a total democracy…The party will wrestle with the…internal contradiction of “a Jewish democratic state,” which means a great deal of democracy for the Jews and too much Jewish nationalism for the Arabs. It will be the party of those who are committed to the supreme universal cultural values of human dignity, the search for peace and a desire for freedom, justice and equality.
