For the 1.7 million Palestinians living as citizens of Israel, deep-seated racism and discrimination are part of everyday life.  As a Palestinian lawmaker and Member of the Israeli Knesset, Haneen Al Zoabi has also faced humiliating treatment by Israeli lawmakers, who regularly attack her personally and politically. The Israeli right has targeted MK Al Zoabi for many years, trying to revoke her citizenship and to disqualify her from reelection. 

Despite this massive campaign to silence MK Al Zoabi, she easily won re-election this past March. Her Balad party is now part of the Joint List, a coalition of four Arab parties that garnered thirteen Knesset seats in the March 2015 election. MK Al Zoabi will talk about this newly empowered alliance and its potential in improving the human, civil, and political rights of the Palestinian citizens of Israel. She will discuss the recent elections and the ramifications of the Likud party winning another term.
