Somewhere in this thread there was a post proclaiming that the Israelis were banning two Arab Israeli Political Parties from the forthcoming ballot and election. This little snippet was trumped as illustrating how "undemocratic" Israel was.

Where is the person who wrote that thread and why have they not retracted the accusation??

Both parties appealed the ruling under israeli law and won - both parties will take part in the election.

By way of contrast, in Gaza, opponents of Hamas just get shot.
