    Genuinely despicable. Hopefully the courts will strike it down swiftly.

    This is most likely a Right-wing plot to drive division in the Left leading up to elections. Many parties end up polling below the threshold, so in a contentious election they often merge to form larger parties and mutually benefit. If Left wing parties can’t form common ground to merge, then the Right stands to gain more seats without having to win more votes.

      What division in the left? Literally every “left” party is pro genocide in Israel.

      The actual leftists (communist party and the Arab parties) have a coalition that this apartheid law would break up.
