1. Bagatz will re-instate Arab parties
Jonny ,   Beit Shemesh   (01.13.09)
The Arab parties do not need to appeal the Supreme court - the extreme left-wing Supreme Court will re-instate their parties and overide the elections committee regardless!
2. Balad and Ta'al out
Madeleine ,   Israel   (01.13.09)
This has been wanting for a long time though I doubt the very left-wing High Court will uphold the eleciton committee's decision. These parties and their leaders are continually expressing virulent anti-Israel diatribe. We don't need them.
3. The Supreme Court will lose legitimacy.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.13.09)
If the Court over-turns the disqualification of the Arab parties, it will lose it's moral authority, it's very legitimacy in the eyes of a great many people. I think that this issue is important enough for the Knesset to pass legislation allowing for major reform of the Court, including the removal of current justices & their replacement. The Court cannot usurp all authority in the country, especially given that the Court itself is not a particularly democratic institution given it's self-selecting, self-perpetuating nature by a small clique of ideologues.
4. If Bagatz overtern-I am personally put Israel flag in public
Bob ,   Moscow   (01.13.09)
toilet - it will be same as Bagatz decisine...
5. "HIGH COURT" is a leftist abomination!
GET REAL ,   USA   (01.13.09)
"HIGH COURT" forced the great RABBI MEIR KAHANE out of knesset on pseudo racist charge while permitting arab party, who spoke for destruction of ISRAEL to stay in knesset! And recently refused to reinstate MOSHE FEIGLIN to his elected 20th slot!
6. Hey Zahalka - Leiberman should be the next prime minister...
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (01.13.09)
and its people like you and me who will put him there. You with your filthy words and treasonous actions - and me with my vote. So in the end, we are working together toward the same result. And when you and yours are on the other side of a border with your Palestinian brothers, I will sleep alot better at night. Here's to PM Leiberman!
7. If Israel Can Ban Kach,It Can Ban Balad
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.13.09)
8. Liberman is the man!!!!
Smith   (01.13.09)
Liberman for president
9. It's amazing
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.13.09)
Jewish parties are banned because that is racist, but Arab parties aren't because to do so is racists. The idiots are talking out of both sides of their mouths. If one is illegal because that is racists then all the racists need to be banned.
10. Kach also represents hundreds of thousands of voters
Mendy ,   Brooklyn   (01.15.09)
Kach is no more racist than Balad Balad is no less racist than Kach
