Balad party sues journalist for calling it a ‘terror group’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Balad political party is suing prominent political analyst Amit Segal for libel after he called the Palestinian-nationalist party a “terror group” masquerading as a political party.
The suit asking for NIS 280,000 ($77,000) in damages is filed at the Nazareth Magistrate’s Court today.
Balad insists it opposes targeting civilians with violence, but its lawmakers have expressed support for Islamist terror groups like Hamas and justified or supported Palestinian violence against Israelis.
