The most important public policy matter here is making sure the polling station is free of even the threat or hint of potential violence. Nothing should be allowed to scare or intimidate ANY voters from voting.
Whether it was Marzel`s original intent to inflame the situation or not, his rights as an individual come in a FAR second to the rights of Israeli voters to feel that they are safe going to the polls and voting.
In that regard, Marzel cannot be allowed anywhere near that polling station.
The very integity of the election is at stake.
Voter intimidation is a third-world type of anti-democratic activity that is below Israel. Do the right thing. |
