In its explanatory notes, the bill states that the presence of “supporters of terrorism, armed struggle, and racism against the State of Israel in local authorities, who through their actions express support and encouragement for the murder of Jews and Israelis, as well as acts of violence and hatred.”

The proposal claims to align the legal framework for municipal elections with that of Knesset elections.

The bill mirrors another measure passed in a preliminary reading last month, which expanded the grounds for disqualifying candidates from Knesset elections. That bill is expected to disproportionately affect Arab candidates, effectively curbing their ability to run for office.

    They also let settlers get away with murdering palestinians in the west bank, which of course is a classic liberal democracy move.

    And, unsurprisingly, the way they’re going to define the above “support of terrorism” will almost certainly include “criticized the Israeli government’s actions in any way”.

    Supporters of terrorism

    I think you mean, “opponents of genocide”. Common mistake amongst genocidal fascists

      To be fair, it’s not like “government of the people, by the people and for the people” wasn’t hypocritical as fuck when Lincoln said it too. Women and black people couldn’t vote when he said it.

    It’s hard to be nice to people when you’re really into crimes against humanity.

    Does Biden know he’s still president or was all his tough talk just for show? Because if it was just for show I can’t help but feel it was a shitty show.

      It was a performance for the election. They literally waited until 2 weeks before the election to even pretend to do anything.
