But what were the arguments??
- He's clearly antisemitic/s
- Forer's motion will likely face legal hurdles, because the law only permits lawmakers to be expelled for racist incitement or for supporting armed struggle against Israel, and it is not clear whether Cassif's actions meet these two conditions.
  That's quite the stretch. It would just be extra judicial facist nonsense if they actually go through with this.
  
  Exactly, but that standard makes me even more curious what they actually said!
