The Joint List political alliance has condemned the Lod Municipality for removing its signs from the vicinity of the Al-Jabhah club. The alliance stated that other parties' signs were left untouched, characterizing the action as selective and racist. The Joint List asserted that this is not an administrative measure but part of a broader policy of exclusion and discrimination against the Arab population in Lod, affecting housing, planning, budgets, and now political expression. The group demanded an immediate halt to this "selective racist measure." In a statement, the Joint List declared, "Lod is our city, and we are rightful owners, not guests. Those who try to silence our voice in the street will hear it louder in the ballot boxes." The alliance framed its struggle as one for full equality and true democracy against a right-wing and fascist rule that views them as a threat to be neutralized. The Joint List called for a decisive response to racism on October 27.
