- The Party for the War against Banks
The Party for the War against Banks ( _he. המפלגה למלחמה בבנקים, "HaMiflaga LeMilhama BeBankim") or HaLev (Hebrew: הלב) is a minor political party in Israel. Their goal is to reduce damages that the banks are causing to the public by legislation.
History
The party was established as the Settlement Party (Lang-he|מפלגת ההתיישבות, "Miflaget HaHityasvut") in 1996 following economic crises in many kibbutzim. However, following a deal signed in the same year between the government, the Kibbutz Movement and the banks, the party's activity was ceased.
In 2006 the party was re-established again, and decided to run in the elections that year, claiming that the banks were causing poverty, and exploitatiing citizens. However, they won only 2,163 votes (0.07%), well below the electoral threshold of 2%.
