Could this Woman be a Game Changer in the Next Election? Anett Haskia is an Arab Muslim Zionist. By serving as a role model for young Arab Israelis, she hopes to influence change and help bring about a lasting peace. At first glance, Anett Haskia appears to be your typical Israeli mother. But this Israeli mother of three is anything but typical. Born and raised in the mixed Jewish-Arab city of Acre (Akko), Haskia describes herself as an Arab Muslim Zionist. She is a proud Israeli citizen who loves her country. Haskia is also running for the Knesset (Israel’s Parliament), but not as a member of an Arab party. She hopes to win a seat in the Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) party – a party whose constitution and platform is religious (Jewish) Zionist. She believes that her presence in the party and in the Knesset could help bring about the changes necessary to set Israel in the direction towards real peace. Not that Haskia believes in the so-called peace process of recent years. Like most supporters of Bayit Yehudi, she believes that the “two-state delusion” is a recipe for disaster that puts Israel’s very existence at risk and will do nothing to achieve peace in the end.
