==Biography== Bader lives in Nahf, an Arab town in the Upper Galilee.
==Political career== Bader had been a member of Likud, but was criticized by fellow Arabs. He decided that a Zionist Arab party was needed to speak for Israeli Arabs who support Israel and counter the existing Arab parties: United Arab List-Ta'al, Balad, and Hadash. He said he will work to improve the condition of Israeli Arabs by joining the governing coalition after the next Israeli legislative election. The party has a working title of Israeli-Arab Nationalist Party and is expected to take six months to organize.<ref name="Hoffman27apr12">{{cite web|url=https://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=267707|title=Israeli Arab to form new pro-Israel party|last=Hoffman|first=Gil|date=27 April 2012|work=jpost.com|publisher=Jerusalem Post|accessdate=28 April 2012}}</ref>
