After 20 days, he'll be asked to conscript again. If he refuses, he'll be sent to jail again. This will continue till either he agrees to conscription or the military stops requiring him.

Literally just kicking out opposition politicians because they criticized the government.
"Only democracy in the Middle East."
There are a few Arab or Palestinian MPs, I believe, but they've all been criticized about the media or harassed for not towing the line, I think.
Have a good article on this?

Okay, here's the other parliamentarian that was "sanctioned," apparently:

I'm not aware of anything like this but I could be falling behind the news. Ofer Cassif narrowly avoided expulsion in February
See my other comment:
Oh yeah I definitely agree it's still repression. Honestly didn't know if there had been updates as I've not been able to keep up with the news as much
As an aside, I just find it interesting:
If there's outcry and protests in Israel and if the war is taking longer than anyone thought then that could mean we're winning in the end and that the war is going poorly for the genociders.
Yeah, you can look through the article I posted yourself. There definitely does seem to be repression against any protest or outcry against what's happening.
Frankly, though, I just hope that the protests and direct action here in the US and around the world is working; we need to stop shipments to Israel and make the whole genocide as uncomfortable and hard as possible for the settler-colonialists! We need to force peace on these settlers and not on their terms and hopefully the Palestinian resistance in Gaza can survive after this.
See my replies.

From People's World (I know it's not CPUSA's best outlet; that goes to cpusa.org, but People's World has covered this every now and then).
Let me try to find 'em...
Here you go! Found the original article:
https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/israeli-communist-ofer-cassif-expelled-from-parliament-for-criticizing-war-on-gaza/
Here's another article:
https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/the-palestinian-struggle-within-israel-interview-with-the-communist-party-of-israel/
The Communist Party of Israel is complete garbage anyways, claiming to oppose Zionism while championing the two-state solution, hand-wringing about how "nothing justifies Oct. 7th" and "we condemn October 7th" before blaming occupation (but only opposing occupation in the West Bank and Gaza).
