“The banning of the Joint List and Balad has almost become a tradition in Israeli politics. However … Ra’am have been part of past coalitions and that its leader, Mansour Abbas, was [a minister without portfolio] in the Bennett-Lapid government. Additionally, it also now has [Yoav Segalovitz] a former police official and a Jewish Israeli politician in its ranks, which makes the attempt more remarkable,” she said.

Israeli affairs expert Shadi al-Sharafa told Al Jazeera that this is “a dangerous precedent that did not exist before”, saying it is the first call to disqualify all Arab representation rather than a single candidate or list.

How much longer do we have until the international communities’ indifference to Israel’s rightwing radicalization into Genocide condemns us to a genuine World War 3? I fear it is not long or we may have already past it.

This is the kind of dysfunctional, genocidal society that would instigate dropping a nuclear bomb on a country it started a war of aggression with, we are at by far the most alarming point of global escalation in my lifetime if not longer.

Note if Israel drops a nuclear bomb on Iran, russia will immediately follow suit with dropping a nuclear bomb on Ukraine. This is an automatic two-for-one.
