The Association for Civil Rights in Israel is supporting Baruch Marzel's far-right 'Jewish Israel' party in a legal battle, according to the group. It warned that a precedent set against a far-right party could quickly become a tool to silence minorities.
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel is providing legal assistance to the far-right 'Jewish Israel' party, led by activist Baruch Marzel, in a petition case. The group warned that setting a legal precedent to disqualify a far-right party could quickly be turned into a tool to silence minority voices. The case highlights a rare alignment between a mainstream civil rights organization and a party on the far-right fringe, on the principle of defending democratic access. No further details on the specific petition or court date were provided in the initial report.
