"There will be an expensive trial here, with the best lawyers.”

"Remember the 'Jewish pogrom' last week on Mount Hebron?"

They're both free thinkers, but for the time being, only Michael is being targeted by the police for political harassment.

"In order for me to fulfill my right to prove my innocence, I ask the court to order the Attorney General and State Attorney, Dr. Avichai Mandelblit, to file an indictment against me."

Arab lawmakers who repeatedly advocated for the BDS campaign against the state of Israel and openly hope for Israel's destruction, also remained free to run.

Otzma Yehudit responded: On the day Jewish blood is spilled and depraved individuals kill a soldier, the Reform movement chooses to ask for our disqualification."

On the morning after that tense game of chicken between Ben-Gvir and United Right, it has become clear that refusing to accept Otzma's demands was not a United Right failure, it was their strategy.

Let Smotrich and Peretz ask Itamar Ben-Gvir and Michael Ben-Ari how it feels to drop from a faction of four MKs in 2009, to 70,000 votes in the last elections, because they were so smart and pure of heart and free-speechy.

A pathetically unreliable poll last Friday gave them 19 seats (never gonna' happen), but in reality they could play this out to keep everyone away from the next Knesset.

No matter what he does next, Bennett is losing something.

Chairman Peretz is interested in an alliance with Ayelet Shaked and Naftali Bennett, and Bennett is unwilling to run in the same list as Otzma Yehudit.

Smotrich remains forceful and ambitious regarding his expectations of the Likud government, and is planning to demand a lot more than just the Justice and Education portfolios.

"I intend to insist on Netanyahu's parallel commitment to this. The High Court will not win this election."

Instead of the committee, Minister Shaked will empower the Knesset to vet supreme court candidates in public hearings, much the way this is done in the US Senate.

Orly Levy-Abekasis gets four seats, right-wing bloc continues to lead - 62 vs. 58; Likud stuck at 26 seats, 33% support banning Ben-Ari; 49% forgive Gantz's phone hacking fiasco.

MK Bezalel Samotrich tweeted: "Israel will not be Iran."

"Ofer Cassif, Tibi and Zoabi, supporters of terrorism every one, are in, but Ben Ari, a Zionist Jew whose sons serve in the IDF, is out."

The right-wing parties union is preparing to launch a huge protest in the event that the court reverses the Knesset's decision.

Meanwhile, Attorney Ben Gvir filed a 500,000 shekel ($138,000) defamation lawsuit against MK Stav Shafir (Labor), for calling the members of Jewish Power "Nazis."

"How I am supposed to feel if I now, as speaker of the Knesset, say to [Netanyahu], 'Go home,' and later it turns out he was innocent?"

All three parties when running on their own do not cross the threshold in most polls.

It's rewarding to see that MK Smotrich is adept at playing "I'm rubber you're glue."

The really clever idea of this week goes to Bennett and Shaked, who lured into their list businesswoman, Silicon Valley winner and owner of the Hapoel Beer Sheva soccer club, Alona Barkat.

Rightwing party Otzma Yehudit (formerly Otzma LeYisrael) headed by Michael Ben-Ari, Aryeh Eldad, Baruch Marzel, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Zvi Sukkot is one of the...

With great sorrow and grief, we announce the murder of our dear one, National Honor.

'Just because the situation is ugly, and the wars are ugly, it's not our fault.'

"If these were [rightwing organization] Lehava activists there is no doubt they would have been held in jail until the end of the proceedings."

The torching was done in retaliation for the disciplinary punishments imposed on two Kfir brigade soldiers.

If the administrative orders weren't undemocratic enough, police raided a conference discussing those orders, arresting a number of the participants.

The small right-wing parties will hurt their ideological allies and voters, unless they get past their egos and ideological perfectionism and help their side for a change.
