"Senior Israeli Channel 14 journalist Shimon Riklin has sparked outrage with a series of racist comments, declaring that “the Israeli public is not racist enough” before calling for Palestinian citizens of Israel to be denied the right to vote in the country’s legislative elections. Riklin attempted to justify stripping them of their voting rights by pointing to their lack of military service and throwing accusations that most of them want to destroy the state. He also dismissed the elections as a “circus” and declared that Arab citizens were its biggest winners." - Source
