An Israeli Law Created to Incite

21. One could easily argue that "southern sympathizers" were ejected for their poltical views

But that's an irrelevant distinction that you're trying to create. There is no such standard in the Constitution or the rules implemented by other legislative bodies. Also - lots of politicians in danger of removal will claim that it isn't for personal misconduct... but rather for their politics. Bill Clinton was impeached (though not removed). Do you believe that it was due to personal misconduct - or because of his politics?

The reason I'm asking is because the Israeli law is targeting Arab MKs who hold supposedly anti-Israel views

By creating a law that doesn't even require an election for their replacement? If someone is expelled, his/her immediate replacement is the next person in line from the same party (presumably with the same political views).

This makes your spin particularly difficult to defend. If anything - by setting the bar so high to expel and no leaving the seat empty or up for an election that the majority could theoretically win... this rule is significantly more democratic than any of the three legislative bodies that we've been discussing.
