Did not France ban the retain-Algeria right-wing party?

Does not Germany ban neo-Nazi parties from running for office?

How is this any different? As long as Arab politicians in Israel denounce Israel, actively give aid and comfort to Israel`s sworn enemies, then their actions constitute a grave threat to Israel`s peace and stability, and may not participate in Israel`s parliamentary process. In fact, you can make an argument that they should be tried for treason.
