Israel bars Arab parties from election

The "only" democracy in the Middle East is now getting a court order to bar other political parties to stand for elections on the basis of ethnicity. The only apartheid state in the Middle East is not too far away from achieving its goals

You don't have a clue what are you talking about. A party in Israel can be disqualified only if she is racist or denying the validity of Israel. Those parties disqualified because they support in the destruction of Israel. Exactly like Meir Kahana's party disqualified because it was "racist" - against the Arabs.
In addition, there are still Arabs in the Knesset, and they can be there as long as they don't break the 2 rules above.

 

Wow, you have an answer for everything, don't you? Must come from living in an Orwellian state where 4=5.

Barring minorities from the democratic process because they protest racial injustice against their fellows by their government is the essence of apartheid.

This move means that there will be literally no voice for the many Arab Israelis who opposed this action. It is a power play, similar to the exclusion of black voters in Florida 2000. This, of course, is much more blatant.

For those Americans who support this, imagine the US were instead in a war with Israel, and any Jew who did not support the war was immediately barred from running in elections. Imagine this were true even after peace negotiations had shakily begun.

Then realize that Arabs in Israel represent a greater percentage of the population (18.5% according to Wiki), and, considering the Palestinians in the occupied territories (3.4 million) who live under the thumb of Israel and really ought to have a voice in Knesset as well, are nearly 40% of the population being excluded completely.

This is a purge...

 

So, you expect Israel to let people who support of Israel annihilating to manage Israel?

 

The thing is that the people still vote, so if the majority of people vote for that party, then sure. In the United States, believe it or not, there are still Nazi and Communist parties, and they are free to run- they never win though because enough people don't support them, so there really is no harm in letting them run. If enough people agree with them to vote for them and get them elected, then maybe that is the direction the country should move in since most of the people want that- it is called democracy. By the way, all of the people that support those parties do not want to annihilate Israel, in fact most of the people running probably don't want to.
