Arab Israeli activist מוחמד מג'אדלה has strongly criticized the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan 11) for a report he described as "unprecedented disgrace." The report stated that in the Bedouin diaspora, polling stations would make adjustments allowing women and men to vote separately, implying women were instructed on how to vote.
מג'אדלה took issue with the phrasing "instructed women to vote," calling it racist and misogynistic. He accused Kan 11 of promoting fake news based on false Likud party briefings and giving a platform to prejudice against Arab women.
According to the Kan 11 report, published two days prior, tens of thousands of women in the Bedouin diaspora received instructions to vote in the elections. The report also noted that in Bedouin communities in the region, separate voting hours were published for men and women, aiming to increase voter turnout in the Arab community.
מג'אדלה asserted that the public broadcaster was not content with spreading fake news derived from false Likud party briefings but was also amplifying racism and misogyny against Arab women by suggesting they were "instructed to vote."
