Israel's Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has recommended that the Supreme Court approve the disqualification of Arab Israeli politician Sami Abu Shehadeh from running in elections. The recommendation comes amid accusations that Abu Shehadeh supports terrorism and seeks to harm the State of Israel. The petition to disqualify him was filed by the right-wing organization "My Israel." The article also references comments made by MK Simcha Rothman, who criticized the Attorney General's perceived leniency towards Arab parties, suggesting she is biased towards the left and aims to bolster Arab political representation at the expense of the right. The author expresses strong disapproval of Abu Shehadeh and other Arab politicians, labeling them as "terror supporters" and questioning why they are allowed to serve in the Knesset. The piece suggests that if a right-wing party had filed a similar petition, the Attorney General would not have approved it, implying a double standard.
