Israel's Knesset advances bill to limit Arab participation in local elections
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.

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".

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

Government by some people, for some people

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.
-
Seriously. Supreme Court literally told presidents they can do whatever the fuck they want now while president...what's he doing?

Maybe the government officials (not citizens) of Israel should be wiped out of this world. Fuckin backwater minded people.
