The right celebrates the disqualification of Ofer Cassif – but the real battle is just beginning

The Central Elections Committee disqualified Ofer Cassif's candidacy for the Knesset. The right is celebrating, but the article claims the joy is premature. According to the piece, past experience shows the High Court of Justice will overturn the decision, as it has done in similar cases. The process is described as a farce: the evidence, affidavits, and committee discussions are all meaningless in the eyes of the Supreme Court justices, who will find a creative interpretation to qualify Cassif. The article accuses the High Court of a political agenda, claiming it protects radical leftists while denying the same rights to others. The conclusion: the disqualification is morally important but practically meaningless, and Cassif is expected to return to the Knesset through the Supreme Court.
