Call it a case of tit-for-tat. On Sunday, a group from within the Labor party filed a petition with the Central Elections Committee demanding that Jewish Home be required to change its name, because it is a party that acts in a manner that is completely the opposite of the religious Zionism we we were raised on."
It's fair payback for a petition filed last week by Jewish Home Knesset candidate Ronen Shoval seeking to prevent the Labor-Hatn'ua list from running under the name "The Zionist Camp, said a Labor spokesperson.
In that petition, Shoval, the founder and former chairman of Im Tirzu, presented a long list of "anti-Zionist statements" made by the party's candidates.
Several of the more radical members of the new Labor party list have made controversial comments including calls for dodging IDF service, which many see as beyond the pale for a self-declared "Zionist party, the petition said, and the party should be banned from using the name in consideration of the prohibition on political parties running under names that may mislead the public.

It is Labor. No IP controversy at all?

(6,828 posts)3. It has to do with
Israeli politics, not Labor (despite the name of the Israeli political party). with the whole zionist party, jewish party controversy, it is very much I/P. It does not have to be I v P to be put there.
But maybe you will luck out!
