Support our work: Israeli Knesset member Ofer Cassif is being threatened with expulsion from Israel's legislature after he signed a petition supporting South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of acts of genocide. Cassif says the impeachment is based on an antidemocratic law that suppresses free speech. “They want me and my friends to shut up,“ he says of the government's persecution of dissenting legislators. “We've been against the war from the beginning because we are against bloodshed.“ Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
