Yisrael Beiteinu, one of the racist parties in Israel's election. It's leader is ex-nightclub bouncer Avigdor Lieberman. Watch the election broadcast
From the Guardian
Lieberman has made his campaign slogan "No loyalty, no citizenship", directed at Israel's 20% Arab population. [Above] is one of his campaign ads, starting with mugshots of current and former Arab-Israeli Knesset members (MKs).
The narrator's voice intones ominously ...
Former MK Abdel Malek Dehamsheh: "I am ready to be a shahid [martyr]." Monthly state pension: NIS 7,000
An emergency beeping sound is heard as a sign reading "A shame and a disgrace" flashes over Dehamsheh's face. It repeats for the next Arab-Israeli politician.
MK Abbas Zakour: "We are proud of Hamas and all those who support it." Monthly salary paid by the state: NIS 33,000
Again, the emergency beeping sign and "A shame and a disgrace". MK Jamal Zahalka is excoriated for saying that Arab citizens who volunteer for national service are lepers. After the slogan "Only Lieberman understands Arabic" comes footage of students demonstrating against the Gaza war at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The narrator says: "We won't forget that when the military operation in Gaza had just begun, there were those amongst us who supported Hamas." The campaign ad closes with the slogans "No loyalty, no citizenship" and "Lieberman: I believe him".
