Kahane won
Baruch Marzel's not the only one who calls for ethnic cleansing

Shulamit Aloni

When Meir Kahane, may he rest in peace, immigrated to Israel with his plans to "ethnically cleanse" Israel of its Arab population, people drowned out his speeches with whistles and yelled slogans such as "No racism here" and "No fascism here."

>snip

Even though the Knesset rejected the cursed race laws Kahane put forth as an MK, today we continue to have several openly racist parties, at least according to the International Convention against Racism that Israel ratified in January, 1979.

Three parties preach for ethnic cleansing: Baruch Marzel's Jewish National Front is notorious for its hatred of Palestinian Arabs, stealing their land and unashamedly calling for their eviction from Israel.

More elegant and polite than Marzel are the leaders of the other parties on the list – Benny Elon and Avigdor Lieberman.

They don't use the word "transfer," but Benny Elon told me a long time ago: "We don't support 'transfer', but we'll make their lives so miserable here that they'll transfer themselves."

1. Kahane seems to be doing quite well on DU too.
As some in the DU see this racist as a hero.

I would like to think, however, this thinking is losing overall in the United States, though.
We will see if it is in time to save us all from a unsustainable world of militarism and colonialism.

3. Exactly, without the ugly PR forced ethnic cleansing will bring

See the post "Head of UNRWA says PA at risk of anarchy, humanitarian crisis" and other related posts.
Kahane is dead. There are other overt proponents of "ethnic cleansing" in the running, and they may play a pivotal role in the election, even if they only have 10 seats. Or they may not.

The point is that the mainstream parties, or at least Kadima and Likud, support measures that they know will lead to Making Palestinian "lives so miserable, that they'll transfer themselves".

Edited to insert word I inadvertently omitted.
