Well that's disgusting. Shame that Israel seems on a descent towards right wing madness.
How long before the right wingers here cite the backlash over the Israeli's behavior as reason to add "United States of America, and Israel" to the Pledge of Allegiance (and try to make it mandatory for everyone to say, and also have to sign an official pledge of such). And yes, too many Democrats have been supporting that bullshit as well, but as is the norm these days whatever awful behavior there is, the Republicans are gonna make sure they're at the forefront of pushing it.
Meanwhile, in the same paper:

Netanyahu's party placed 1,200 hidden cameras in Arab polling stations on Election Day ■ 'We managed to lower the voter turnout to under 50 percent, the lowest in recent years!' firm boasts on Facebook.
I was going to make a thread about Bibi getting re-elected as it gives a blueprint for what to expect next year (just like it did in 15/16 before). Bibi has gone HARD right. Yes, even more than he already was. And it saved his ass and got him re-elected.
Want an idea of how far right he's going? He labeled a competitor, that brags about how many Palestinians he's killed in conflicts, as a "liberal leftist". People that know the situation made the analogy it would be like an American President openly embracing the KKK (er, to clarify, Bibi secured his position by joining with hard right groups for his coalition government). Oh and he did this while being investigated (which he calls a "witch hunt" by leftists). Granted, I believe the AG of Israel is saying "yep Bibi's been bad and needs to face the courts over it" which is a marked shift from where we're currently at in the US.
People, especially white people, you need to get out and vote Turmp and Republicans out, because they're gonna go to crazy lengths to keep minority persons from voting. And we need to work to get our friends and family that don't vote for whatever bullshit reasons to get off their asses and vote too. Because if we don't, we might be looking at something even more unfathomable than the first Turmp term.
