Statement summary
Golan supports excluding Abu Shehadeh, citing his interpretation of the October 2023 article. He says the same rule should apply to Ben-Gvir.
“No leniency for Abu Shehadeh and no leniency for Ben-Gvir. Both should be disqualified. (Translated from Hebrew. Original: אין הנחות לאבו שחאדה ואין הנחות לבן גביר - את שניהם צריך לפסול.)”
Read the original post (opens in a new tab)Yair Golan supports disqualifying Abu Shehadeh and Ben-GvirParagraph beginning אין הנחות; read with the opening defense of Arab citizens voting rights and preceding discussion of the article.
Golan supports excluding Abu Shehadeh individually while opposing blanket exclusion of Arab lists.
Why we used this label
Golan expressly supports individual exclusion. His opposition to blanket bans on other lists does not qualify that support.
