	Hadash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hadash is an acronym for Hachazit Hademokratit leshalom uleshivyon — "החזית הדמוקרטית לשלום ולשוויון",
		Most of Hadash's support comes from the Arab sector [2], and it is generally considered an Arab party, but a significant minority of its supporters are Jewish as was its leader for many years, Meir Vilner.
		The party supports evacuation of all Israeli settlements, and a complete withdrawal by Israel from all territories occupied as a result of the 1967 Six-day War and the establishment of a Palestinian state in those territories.

	The 2003 Israeli Elections: A Primer
		Other parties can only become eligible through the submission of a petition of 1,500 eligible voters and the deposit of a bond that is refunded only if that party wins at least one seat.
		Parties that reject the Jewish and democratic nature of the State of Israel, incite racism, or are believed to function as a cover for illegal activities cannot be legally registered.
		This is a slight decrease from an unprecedented 32 in 1999.

	Backgrounders - The Israel Project
		Party Platform: Hadash (Hebrew acronym for The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality; literally, "new") is an Arab party with roots in Israel's anti-Zionist Communist Party.
		Party Platform: Party for the Struggle with the Banks was founded in 1996 by Eliezer Levinger after he won a campaign to cancel NIS 3 billion worth of unwarranted interest that banks were demanding from clients.
		The party is pushing for an improved education system in neglected areas and desires the state to expand medical insurance programs to include a wider range of subsidized medicines and treatments and allocating more financial aid to the elderly.

	"The Anti-Millennium: The Islamization of Nazareth" by Raphael Israeli
		These parties were so incompetent in administrative and urban governance that in 1974 Prime Minister Golda Meir appointed a commission of inquiry which recommended the dismantling of the city council and placing city affairs in the hands of an appointed commission manned by officials of the Ministry of Interior.
		Zayyad was reelected to the Knesset at the head of Hadash, which still received close to 50 percent of the vote in Nazareth, despite the general losses of the party in the city and countrywide.
		The Christians in Israel, in general, and those of Nazareth who had been the champions of the Communist party in years past, in particular, could not help seeing the writing on the wall: their political status was slipping and the rise of the fundamentalists began to pose a direct threat to them.

	The 1999 Israeli Elections: A Primer
		Any party may nominate a candidate for Prime Minister if it currently holds at least 10 seats in the Knesset or if the candidate is nominated by a petition of 50,000 eligible voters.
		A party cannot register if it rejects the Jewish and democratic nature of the State of Israel, incites racism, or there is reason to believe it will function as a cover for illegal activities.
		Familiar parties such as Likud, the religious-nationalist National Religious Party (NRP), the left-wing Meretz, Aryeh Deri's Orthodox Sephardic, Shas Party, the Communist Hadash Party, the Arab, Balad and United Arab List parties and the ultra-Orthodox, United Torah Judaism are running.

	ISN Security Watch - Israelâs new political reality
		The union leaderâs victory in the internal party poll was met by a chant of ârevolution, revolutionâ from Labor youth and Peretz led a rapid realignment of the partyâs priorities from peace-related issues towards a social democratic focus.
		Labor party officials began to complain early in the afternoon that their party was not doing as well as expected because voters were protest-voting for the pensioners, a trend that was confirmed by polling place interviews conducted by ISN Security Watch.
		Party leader, Rafi âStinkerâ Eitan - a nickname won when he fell into a sewage pit while in the military - served as Mossad chief and was in charge of the operation in which Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann was abducted.

		Deputies from the right-wing majority parties voted against the motion which was backed by Arab Israeli deputies and the left-wing opposition Meretz party, as well as Hadash, which has three seats.
		Several members of the center-left Labour party, which sits in the right-wing government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, also voted in favor, although most did not participate in the heated debate.
		Hadash’s Arab deputy Mohammed Barakeh said that "incitement to transfer is in fact a call to ethnic cleansing and should be subject to Israeli law which bans any incitement to racial hatred."

		The leaders of the parties that are active within the Arab population admitted this week that, despite the declarations about the need for women to be represented in the Knesset, "the barrier in the bottleneck," as they put it, will thwart this aspiration.
		Wednesday, Gozansky, who is respected among the Hadash party and enjoys a reputation as a good and industrious parliamentarian, announced that she will not present her candidacy.
		Women and men from her party and other parties mention her as a suitable candidate for the Knesset, but she herself does not aspire to this.

	Engaging Disengagement
		Perception: that the Disengagement plan implements part of the Labor Party election platform, calling for: unilateral withdrawal from most of the Territories to a new defensive line; negotiated annexation of large settlement blocs; dismantling of isolated settlements.
		Party platform expresses belief: that Jews should be allowed to live in all parts of Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel).
		Belief: that expelling large groups of civilians from their homes is immoral and a breach of human rights' law, as well as contradicting government promises not to do so, and that for Israel's government to evict Jewish Israelis from areas of Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) is a historic crime.

	Hadash (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Formed as the merger of the Communist Party and Black Panthers in 1977, Hadash (known as Rakah and the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality) represents disadvantaged Israeli Arabs and Jews.
		Hadash’s platform focuses on improving the status of disadvantaged Israelis, the formation of a democratic and secular constitution, and the extension of full rights to Israeli Arabs and women.
		Hadash was one of the first parties to approve contact with the PLO, call for complete Israeli withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza and support the establishment of a future Palestinian state.

	THE POLITICAL REPRESENTATION OF PALESTINIAN WOMEN IN LOCAL POLITICS IN ISRAEL - 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The women in the Party were the first to participate in political activity and in the struggle against the Military Government and later on, at the universities.
		The profile of women who were elected this time partially matches the profile I found in analyses of women members prior to 1998, with slight differences: all are educated, active but mostly younger, in their thirties, and many of them are unmarried.
		The fact that a woman was not included in the Hadash lists this time, although there are very suitable women, was attributed by a Hadash activist in a village in the Galilee to dirty village politics and the low level of council members, all of which are inappropriate for Hadash women.

	Netanyahu attacks - Israeli working class responds
		What is lacking in this situation is a mass party with sufficient forces to galvanise the energies of the working class in Israel and pose a clear workers’ alternative to the present government.
		Gonen was for many years a member of the leadership of the party's faction in the Histadrut, chairman of the faction and also a member of the leadership of the Histadrut itself.
		While we recognize that it is the only workers' party in Israel which unites Arab and Jewish workers, we - as supporters and defenders of Hadash - are striving to carry forward an ideological transition of the party.

	Arab Electoral Clout in Israel
		In the elections of 1996 and 1999, four factors campaigned for Labor among the Arab masses: the Arab newspapers and political parties, the SMC (Supreme Monitoring Committee Of the Arab Population) and the PA (Palestinian Authority).
		The party's inclination was to vote 'Barak', but given the difficulty of saying this outright, it conditioned its support on his bringing home a peace accord.
		Hadash, the Arab Democratic Party of Abdulwahab Darawshe, Ahmad Tibi and the heads of local councils (such as SMC chief Muhammad Zeidan), all had considered declaring for 'Barak', but in the light of his certain defeat, why risk political suicide?

	Ariga: Peace Links: An Alert from the Electronic Frontier Foundation
		While considered an Arab party, based on the fact that most of the voters are today Arab, the party’s history begins as a party with a majority of Jewish voters, many of them of Sephardic origin.
		The last party, and one with two seats in Knesset, is the Democratic Arab Party, led by Daroushe, a former MK from the Labor Party.
		The Labor Party is more able to return the favor than Meretz is, and in any case, since Meretz is so friendly anyway, why not invest votes that could help transform the largest party in the country into one more amenable to Arab interests.

		But the left parties in Israel (which represented about 15% of the votes), gave up the democratic struggle, and instead of presenting a candidate of their own, promised their votes unconditionally to Peres.
		In a well coordinated division of labor, Barak's party persecuted the center candidate Mordechai, among the Jews, and the Communist party 'Hadash' did the same to Bshara among the Arabs.
		His party - Balad - is a relatively new party, with many young people and intellectuals, who did not grow up in the frozen establishment of the old left.

	Outpost, April 1999, p. 2
		The party was simply a collection of prima donnas (with opposing ideas) who saw the party as a way of settling scores and/or securing a better position.
		The Centrist Party came to the same conclusion, and determined, for as long as possible, to avoid taking any positions whatever, handing out "stickers" in lieu of campaign literature.
		Hadash has rejected it on the grounds that Meretz is a "Zionist" party.

		Green Party 2 "It's clear that the recent efforts by the Bush administration to reduce the fighting are driven by a desire to secure Arab support for a U.S. military attack on Iraq, rather than to secure permanent peace in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict," said Dr. Jonathan Farley, Green congressional candidate in Tennessee.
		The Green Party celebrates the FEC decision announced today, as the party grows and strong Green candidates challenge two-party dominance across the U.S. -- The Federal Election Commission (FEC) today issued a unanimous opinion recognizing the Green Party of the United States as the National Committee of the Green Party.
		During the party's annual meeting in Santa Barbara, California last July, Green delegates voted to establish a national party and to apply to the FEC for national committee status.

		The party is generally identified as Centrist, but I think this is a mis-characterization, and that YBA's political orientation is quite similar to Likud, sometimes to its Right and sometimes to its Left, and particularly so since YBA's two most prominent leftists jumped ship to form their own party, which has now merged with Meretz.
		One Nation: A splinter party affiliated with the major Israeli labor union federation, they favor tough but pragmatic security policies and are therefore considered a "centrist" party, but basically they are a party of the reactionary Left, as you would expect from a labor union-controlled party.
		Hadash is an explicitly anti-Zionist party, as you would expect of a Communist party.

		In the past, both the UAL and Hadash have flirted with the idea of standing a Palestinian candidate for prime minister.
		Due to Bishara's decision, therefore, the UAL and Hadash are being forced to support the openly Zionist Barak against an openly anti-Zionist and Palestinian candidate, a stance that -- to put it mildly -- weakens their Arabist credentials.
		He believes the time for the Arab parties to bargain with Labour is before prime ministerial elections rather than between them.

		The centrist Kadima Party, founded by Ariel Sharon and now headed by acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, is widely expected to win the most seats in the Israeli Knesset (parliament) in the March 28 elections.
		None of the three parties is expected to gain enough votes for an outright majority in the Knesset.
		The three main religious parties in Israel are Shas, which presents Sephardic orthodox Jews; United Torah Judaism (UTF), which represents Ashkenazi orthodox Jews; and the National Religious Party-National Union, which is the political wing of the right-wing religious settlers.

		The basic stand of most parties was clear to their voters, and voters might choose among parties in the same camp on this issue.
		The four mainstream parties-the DLP and RPP on the center-left and Yilmaz's Motherland and Ciller's TPP on the center-right-appear to have polled a total of only 56 percent, suggesting that there may no longer be a "mainstream" in Turkish politics.
