This is Sami Abou Shahadeh. He is the leader of the Balad party, a Palestinian political party in Israel. Sami was disqualified because of this article he published on Oct. 8, 2023. alaraby.co.uk/opinion/%D8%B7… Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara backed Abou Shahadeh's disqualification, saying it "expressed support for armed struggle." Go read the article. it does not express support for armed struggle. not even close. Meanwhile, Amichai Eliyahu was not disqualified even though he said “anyone waving a Palestinian ... flag shouldn’t continue living on the face of the earth.” (aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/isr…). He's #4 on his party's list. ynetnews.com/article/86upvbr… To repeat: If you say, like the Palestinian Sami Abou Shahadeh said, that Oct. 7th was a "significant historical event in military, political, and strategic terms," than you are disqualified because you are calling for violence. If you say, like the Jewish Amichai Eliyahu said, that “anyone waving a Palestinian ... flag shouldn’t continue living on the face of the earth," than you are not disqualified, because you are apparently not calling for violence. Different rules for different people. Not so complicated afterall, it's called apartheid.
