    Interesting how Arab parties are welcomed but Kahane’s party was banned.

    If they’re so minority, maybe we should modify the electorATE so that
    not so many people vote for those parties. You know, cull the numbers a
    bit. How about a law that only Labor/Kadima/Meretz supporters are
    allowed to vote?

    Now THAT would be democratic.

    At least, it’s as democratic as Netanyahu’s bumping down Feiglin in the
    primaries was, and banning Rav Kahane from the Knesset (in expectation
    of future electoral success). The left isn’t so much a threat to
    democracy, as much as it is a threat to the very existence of Israel

    Yes.

     

    There are many serious problems facing Israel today.

    Number 1 problem: modify the electoral system so that parties representing minority sectors of the society don’t have an inordinately disproportiante and over-inflated position of influence within Israeli politics and law-making.

    Those pesky Right-Wing and religious parties and Lieberman are the big problem of Israel, aren’t they?
