The Joint List political alliance has strongly condemned the Lod Municipality for removing its banners from the vicinity of the Al-Jabha Club. In a statement, the alliance noted that banners belonging to other political parties were left untouched, characterizing the action as selective and racist.
The Joint List asserted that this was not an administrative measure but rather an extension of the exclusion and discrimination policies directed at the Arab population of Lod in areas such as housing, planning, and budgets, and now in the right to political activity. The alliance demanded an immediate halt to this "selective racist measure."
"Lod is our city, and we have a right to be here, we are not guests," the Joint List stated, adding that anyone attempting to silence their voice in the streets would hear it louder at the ballot box. The alliance declared its struggle to be for "complete equality and true democracy" against a "right-wing and fascist rule" that views them as a threat to be neutralized.
The Joint List announced that their decisive response to racism would be "merger" on October 27th.
