This is a fascinating survey of the political realities of contemporary Israel from the perspective of an Israeli leftist. Although I don't endorse every view expressed by the author I do consider this piece to be an excellent tool to understand the internal political influences pushing and pulling in Israel right now.

Please be skeptical of the claims made in this article. This was posted for purposes of cultural insight

"Unfortunately, what we hear in mainstream media; this so-called 'discourse' or this so-called 'debate' between the right and the left is about that. It's about 'do we want a large Israel which is arab free or do we want a small Israel which is arab free?' This is the debate that's taking place."

-Ronnie Barkan, Israeli Human Rights Activist, 2017

Is that really up to debate? According to Israel's Declaration of Independence, it needs to cover all of Eretz Yisrael (it can cover more, though):
