22. It has been clear from the start that there was a significant misunderstanding

But it has been entirely yours.

The Israeli law is about expelling MKS for their political views

You don't get to attribute a motive and then clam that it makes all the difference. It certainly doesn't excuse your blatantly-false claims that other democracies don't have similar rules.

while the UK and US laws are about personal misconduct,

None of the three that we've been discussing (UK/US/Canada) restrict expulsions to criminal acts or personal misconduct. Nor can you honestly claim that those who have been suspended in the past (and would thus be possible targets for expulsion) were punished for their political views. For instance, incitement to terrorism is against the law in Israel.

Have you ever heard of the United States? FBaggins Jul 2016 #9

Do you have any names of those who've been suspended under that law? n/t Little Tich Jul 2016 #12

There were quite a few at the start of the Civil War FBaggins Jul 2016 #13

Most of those expelled were Southern sympathizers, Little Tich Jul 2016 #17

One could easily argue that "southern sympathizers" were ejected for their poltical views FBaggins Jul 2016 #21

Are you actually arguing that the reason Israel has this law is because it's more democratic than Little Tich Jul 2016 #24

Israel has this law because it's wrong to support terror/murder of innocent Jews... shira Jul 2016 #27

From what I understand, Israel is the only democratic country with a law allowing for permanently Little Tich Jul 2016 #7

As usual, your "understanding" has a great deal of... creativity... in it. FBaggins Jul 2016 #10

Apparently Geoffrey Robinson was suspended from the UK parliament for three weeks, but that's not Little Tich Jul 2016 #15

Was that supposed to be logical? FBaggins Jul 2016 #16

It seems as if our disagreement stems from a misunderstanding. Little Tich Jul 2016 #18

You're pretending Balad MK supporters of terror did the "right thing", why? shira Jul 2016 #32

The article implies that Shaked isn't actually calling for the death penalty for jewish terrorists, Little Tich Jul 2016 #33

There you go again, pretending the Balad MK's don't support terrorists (see post #28 above) shira Jul 2016 #34
