In Israel, the left tries to exist in the face of the radical right and security anxiety

A small group of young activists from the Democratic Party is campaigning in southern Tel Aviv ahead of the elections on October 27. They face challenges in a political landscape dominated by the far-right, with many voters skeptical about supporting a party perceived as weak. Concerns among residents include security, living costs, and housing issues. The activists aim to represent a new left and address criticisms of being disconnected from the public. However, campaigning poses risks, as left-wing supporters have faced aggression in a highly nationalistic environment.
