I do believe that Ofer Cassif is a bad politician and I disagree with his extreme anti-Zionist and communist views, but on the other hand expelling him from the Knesset seems like an anti-democratic move. I'm happy to see that National Unity didn't go full-on Bibi and chose not to expel Cassif. On the other hand, should you really stay in the Knesset if you work against Israel?
