The Labor Party has picked its A-team. The list of Knesset candidates elected in the Jan. 13 party primaries is diverse, young, socially oriented and dynamic. It has an impressive representation of women and one Arab candidate, Zuhair Bahloul, who's supposed to carry on his shoulders the entire Arab sector.
The Labor Party reserved only one realistic slot for a non-Jewish candidate. This relays the impression that the party is convinced that it is a waste of time and there is no way Arab voters, who in the past provided Labor with at least two Knesset seats, can be persuaded to change their minds and return.
