This means first and foremost that legitimate actions such as sanctions against Israel's war crimes must not be conflated with antisemitism.

The most important thing is that this doesn't fracture Die Linke. The party should accept a spectrum of opinion on the Middle East in a municipal context, and the new coalition's leadership needs to find ways to enable a broad democratic spectrum on this issue. >

I think that the agreement reached about antisemitism in Berlin is not good and represents a coalescing around the logic of Staatsräson. This is based on a bad conception of antisemitism and accepts many false assumptions of the right-wing press. >

FYI: In Berlin leben ca. 35,000 Juden, tendenz steigend. Fast alle sind migrantisch (vor allem aus: Israel, USSR, Nord-Amerika). Nur ein 1/4 ist in der Jüdischen Gemeinde organisiert, die anderen sind jünger, eher liberal und sehr viele sind links. Mehrere wollen gar nicht" als Juden" sprechen.

Richtungsstreit nach der Wahl in Berlin: Jüdische Unterstützung für Linksbündnis
In einem offenen Brief fordern 150 Berliner Jüdinnen und Juden eine rot-rot-grüne Koalition in der Hauptstadt. Sie widersprechen damit dem Zentralrat der Juden.

Das mag wirklich nur Zufall sein, aber Mitglieder einer Gruppe von Männern in beduinischer Tracht, die letztes Jahr mit Issa Remmo im Abgeordnetenhaus waren und dieses Jahr mit ihm einige Videos posteten, haben in den letzten Wochen Wahlkampf für die CDU in Berlin und besonders in Neukölln gemacht.

This is not the most likely outcome. They might also surrender and form a coalition with Netanyahu. But if they are willing to recognize Arab votes as legitimate, this could open the door to meaningful change - including in Gaza and the West Bank.

nimrodflash.bsky.social @nimrodflash.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
And if this happens, and the block facing Netanyahu insists on not relying on Arab votes, there will be another election cycle. But if they are willing to negotiate something with the joint list or its components, we could see an alternative government. >

This isn't final at all, but if the joint list really reunifies, and if the elections are fair (big if), it means one thing: Bibi's extreme-right can't reach a 61-seat majority. A big joint list of 15-17 seats means Bibi is stuck with 50-53. No question about it. >

But the public pressure stemming from the state of emergency of the Palestinian community, both after two years of genocide in Gaza and political repression at home, along with the sharp rise in criminal killings and gang violence, forced Abbas to move toward unity yesterday. >

nimrodflash.bsky.social @nimrodflash.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
Back to the present. Ra'am's Mansour Abbas didn't want a joint list because he wants to be a supplement to the Bennett coalition. Bennett told him that if he runs with the joint list, he would be considered too extreme to be a partner, and Abbas accepted this reality. >

The deal was conditioned on progress on the civilian internal front and the Palestinian issue. In the end, Gantz chickened out each time and collapsed the deal, but the JL was there and willing to use its power to make an impact. >

They propose a political project that shifts the direction of the Israeli center and center-left. This was the approach of the joint list in its previous iterations: it negotiated a supply and demand deal with the Gantz block. >

Balad rejects any collaboration with Zionist parties and opposes the idea that Palestinian parties should participate in a political coalition. Hadash and Ta'al want to use their electoral influence to shape the political landscape, but only under certain conditions. >

Ra'am was part of the previous Bennett coalition. It is running on a platform that states it wants to be part of a government serving the interests of Arabs within Israel and is willing to delay addressing the larger Palestinian issue. >

There are four parties on the joint list: Socialist, Jewish-Arab Hadash (my party), Moderate Islamist Ra'am (Mansour Abbas's party), nationalist-liberal Balad (let's assume that Western pro-Palestine protestors would be Balad), and personalist Ta'al (Ahmad Tibi's one-man show). >

They acted under intense public pressure, which demands a unified list and expressed this in the demo. It is not yet final, but it's a major and surprising development that could significantly influence the next Israeli government. >

1/3 In the past 24 hours, Israel killed over 100 Palestinians in Gaza, including over 40 children. Such a massacre would have shaken global opinion to the core just a few years ago, but after 2 years of genocide, it now seems commonplace, and the world has become anesthetized>

The only significant weakening of AfD in polls in the last 4 years was during the massive anti-AfD protests in early 2024. They were mainstream liberal protests uniting different sections of German society. Wouldn’t it be a good idea for @die-linke.de to mobilise for another wave?

1. Against the backdrop of the last occurrences in Gaza, the Israeli government is appointing dangerous radicals to key positions, making permanent the extreme-right rule over Israeli institutions: a week and a half ago, David Zini was appointed as head of Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency)>

The huge powers of the Palestine solidarity movement that erupted all over the world in the past 2 years must be channeled to a productive pressure campaign against the occupation and apartheid, and build a global front for a Palestinian state, isolating Israel and the US.

Therefore, it is critical to continue pressuring for persistence of the ceasefire, full withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza, and Palestinian sovereignty over the Strip. It is also essential to pursue accountability for the genocide through legal and other tools. >

On the other hand, Trump is still very loyal to Netanyahu and to the settler movement, and his recent slight tilt toward the side of the Arab world does not mean he has any sentiments for the Palestinians (nor does his buddies in Saudi and UAE). >

This doesn't mean there will be a PLO government in Gaza soon. Still, it does mean that the Israeli consistent demand for full security control over the Gaza Strip is unacceptable to regional actors and is not completely endorsed by the Trump administration. >

While the second stage of the Trump plan is an imperialist plan determined to appoint Tony Blaire to watch over Gaza and develop it for investors, when you look at the way the different actors interpret the plan, many insist on Palestinian rule there. >

Most importantly - it appears to be the end of the war, and therefore the genocide. There are indications that Trump, together with Turkey, Qatar and Egypt, gave guarantees that they will not allow Israel to return to war. >
