Former Knesset Member Yoav Segalovitz, who joined the Ra'am party with a vision of genuine partnership with Arab citizens of Israel, was recently interviewed on Channel 13 by Omri Assenheim. Segalovitz, described as a brave and principled individual facing daily scorn and accusations of treason from Jewish supremacy supporters, was subjected to what the article calls a "steaming dish of nationalism dipped in racism" by Assenheim. During the interview, Assenheim stated, "We all know that Mansour Abbas would want us to disappear from here, that Jews not live in the State of Israel. That it would be a state for Arabs." The article criticizes Assenheim for speaking for "all of us" without evidence, contrasting his remarks with Mansour Abbas's past statements advocating for coexistence and affirming Israel's identity as a Jewish state.
