Joint Arab List leader Ayman Odeh vowed to increase his party's power, and that of Arab-Israelis as a whole, in the next Knesset, in a speech to the body Wednesday. 'This was a racist and divisive government,' Odeh said. 'When the Joint List increases its power, we have the power to topple this racist, extremist right-wing government.' 'Yes Netanyahu, we, Arab citizens, will rush to the polls en mass, and we will increase our power, now more than ever before. Whoever seeks too make a division and a stumbling block between Jews and Arabs, or between Arabs and Arabs strengthens Netanyahu and the right. They want us weak and divided, but we will be strong together.'
