Not Good
By Concur with Spencer re: the banning of the participation Arab political parties in the next Israeli election. Such a ban effectively disenfranchises Israel’s Arab minority, making the claim that “Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East” problematic at best.
UPDATE [by SL]: Hopefully, the Israeli Supreme Court will intervene, as they did in 2003. I have no idea how likely this is; obviously, the political context this time may make it less likely.
