Israeli candidates who backed nuclear strike on Gaza stay on ballot

Candidates in Israel's election who have endorsed dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza, called for the 'total annihilation' of its cities, and demanded that 'all of Lebanon must burn' remain free to run for office, according to a widely shared post citing an election analysis. Critics are pointing to the statements as evidence of extreme rhetoric going unchallenged in the Israeli electoral system.
Why now: Extreme wartime rhetoric from candidates standing in an Israeli election is drawing scrutiny of how far free speech protections in electoral law extend.
