Jamal Zahalka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Jamal Zahalka (Arabic: جمال زحالقة, Hebrew: ג'מאל זחאלקה, born January 11, 1955) is an Israeli Arab politician and member of the Knesset. He was elected to the 16th Knesset on the Balad party list, along with Party Leader Azmi Bishara and Wasil Taha. Zahalka resides in Kafar Kanna, Israel and received a Ph.D. in pharmacology from Hebrew University of Jerusalem [1].
Zahalka describes Israel's political discourse about the Palestinians as revolving around the ideas of separation, apartheid, and transfer. He argues that an apartheid system is already in place, with the West Bank and Gaza Strip separated into "cantons," and Palestinians required to carry permits to travel between them. [1]
