Excellent interview. Very informative and somewhat of a "cautionary tale" of possible biases within a Party.
I think, our Libertarian Party, here, in America, is the closest to resembling The Joint List Party. Would I be correct? My political views, as pertains to USA and individual state issues, are aligned very much with Dov's. Neither the Independent Party nor The Tea Party can effectively stand alone. Nor, do I think, would those two Parties, if they were to be united in any way, have a formidable, combined strength to influence policy changes of far right or far left votes; not even if all three were to come together. However, perhaps if a Party was formed similar to a Joint List one, with RNC & DNC memberships, it could very well become the third Party that we, in the USA, so desperately needs right now: a Party that opposes current Foreign and domestic laws and policies that are polarizing and dangerous to our own Democracy and, that reinforce the current human rights violations which are rampant throughout the world, and, indeed, within the USA; any legislation that contributes support to those governments that should be sanctioned and boycotted because their own acts of corruption and human rights violations and non-inclusive laws & policies.
I wonder if the List Party boycotted the elections whether Trumpet would name one of them the interim President next year like he did recently in Venezuela xD
Dov Hanin is a far leftist
Boycotting elections is counterproductive because when your not part of the process of government no national dialogue is needed regarding laws passed. The laws are decided behind closed doors and will be just rubber stamped in the parliament. The public who benefit can feign ignorance while enjoying their privilege. When laws have to be justified in parliament the point of the laws is made explicit and no one can then honestly pretend the law is anything but what it is. Make the f*ckers own it.
American and Israeli government's are terrorist organizations
"on the other hand…the good book says boycott"
