Voting for the party which does not want to worsen the status quo might not work
This might be the case, this is the 'hope' part I mentioned but it might work.
But you can bet on your life and those you care for that the other party will try everything in their new found power to make things absolutely worse.
I get the dilemma and voting for any party in this scenario is tough but I would still opt for the party of hope and which displays signs of change for the better.
That ship of having the phrase have any meaning has sailed decades ago, at least for me. It is a sign you are on the right side of truth as this line of 'defense' is always used to cover up something morally wrong which Israel is being called out for.
