Last night I heard on the news that the two Arab parties in Israel are not going to be allowed to participate in this round of elections because they "support terrorism" even though they are the same party that has run in numerous elections before. They only hold three seats in the Knesset but that will be reduced to zero in this election. Hmmm what other country had these sort of laws that excluded people of certain ethnicities from political office? I wonder if the Israeli government is aware that this happened once before? I guess all I can really ask is "et tu Israel?"
It's very disheartening Soc. In 2006 there was not this level of support, within Israel's population, for the Lebanon war. And now to see them resorting to this.
This cannot be defended, and they're making themselves into targets.
