Israeli opposition bloc accused of fearing 'Arab-lover' label over Netanyahu
Original: "A non-racist anti-Netanyahu bloc would have jumped at the opportunity to replace the prime minister after the election.
Israeli commentators are debating why an anti-Netanyahu bloc did not seize the chance to form a government after the election. Writing in Haaretz, an opinion columnist argues that even the desire to end Netanyahu's rule could not overcome the parties' fear of being labeled an 'Arab-lover' for cooperating with Arab-led parties, and criticizes a bloc that includes what the author calls racist elements.
Why now: The election result and questions about who could have replaced Netanyahu are fueling debate over Israeli coalition politics and attitudes toward Arab parties.
