Calling it an ad of “incitement,” Election Committee Chairman Justice Mishael Cheshin disqualified the United Arab List’s informercial calling upon Arabs to "liberate al-Aqsa Mosque [on the Temple Mount] and to fight against Israeli occupation." MK Abdel Malek Dahamshe said that the text of the ad “was apparently not translated correctly, which is why the judge disqualified it."
In a related story, MK Sopha Landver (Labor) has asked Justice Cheshin to disqualify a campaign ad produced by the Shas party. The ad in question shows a Jewish family undergoing a Christian baptism. Landver said that the ad is "very insulting" to the immigrant community.
Meanwhile, National Union party activists hit the intersections of Raanana and the Sharon area this afternoon with an attention-grabber. They handed out campaign material in the form of "Palestinian Passports" to passers-by in an effort to show the threats stemming from the creation of a Palestinian state.
