In a surprising turn of events, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's embrace of nativist rhetoric has led to an unexpected surge in Arab voter turnout, nearly doubling the Arab vote and causing a deep political crisis in Israel.

This development underscores the fragility of political strategies that rely heavily on divisive tactics, suggesting a need for more inclusive approaches in both Israeli and American politics.
