The Moderate Voice: Israeli Committee Votes To Ban Two Israeli-Arab Political Parties

  • jdledell · 11 months ago
    I am very upset with Israel. The country needs all the positive PR it can with the World given what they are doing in Gaza. Like it or not, justified or not, images of dead children are doing Israel no favors. Topping this off, Israel makes a move that appears undemocratic to the outside world making their image even less clean. But most important is the negative message it sends to their arab population and to the Palestinians. Moderation and using the political process to air grievences rather than violence has just been shut down.

    If the High Court doesn't overturn this, expect arab citizens of Israel to become more disenchanted with Israel and creating more danger and chaos to Israel. On the otherhand maybe this is what Israel has in mind - disenfranchise the arab citizens so that Israel has an excuse to revoke their citizenship and solve their demographic problem in one quick move.

    may not be democratic...but it is consistent

    they banned the kach party too....a racist israeli party, founded by rabbi meir kahane

    the supreme court did not reinstate that party

    In an act of fairness then they should dissolve the Likud Party.Then Bennie Nut-in-Yahoo will go away.
