Israel election may boost far-right: 'A lot of racism, a lot of hatred'

Israelis are expected to elect a more right-wing Knesset, whether or not Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stays in power. The predicted shift echoes a dark history. Forty years ago, the extremist rabbi Meir Kahane won a single Knesset seat. Other legislators responded by passing a law to stop him from running again. They also left the chamber when he rose to speak and worked together to block debate on his ethnonationalist proposals. Kahane's ideas included mass expulsion of Palestinians and apartheid-style rules, such as segregated beaches and a ban on sex between Jews and non-Jews.
