Discussion - Flaired Users Only Thoughts on anti-zionist political parties in Israel?

What do you all think of the liberal centrist part Yesh Atid and the leftist Hadash party, which allies itself with the Arab Ta'al party? Shouldn't the pro-palestinian groups form strategic relationships with these parties, and generally, the people who want peace from the inside of Israel? I feel like a lot of pro-palestinian groups can be quite reductionist. I understand that many are staunchly and uncompromisingly against the existence of Israel entirely. I just feel like things would be vastly improved at least if these groups worked together.

I don't know much about these political parties and would really love to hear about how they are perceived and any facts or opinions people have on them.

If I was voting in Israeli elections, I'd vote either for Balad or the Joint List (for Hadash). I don't care that much about Taal even though I like Tibi.
I'm not a fan of Meretz at all and would never consider voting for them, but they do have a voter base that is worth engaging with.

There's nothing good to say about Yesh Atid other than that they're staunchly secular. They're a politically "centrist" party which isn't different from the more liberal flank of Likud (like the ones who joined Kadima).

Your opinions are basically my own and much better put.
