An Arab judge in the "only democracy in the Middle East"

According to a report published in "NRG": 

During an election conference held in Beit El settlement last week, Meir Mazuz, the "spiritual leader" of "Yachad Party", attacked the Israeli High Court "because it allowed an Arab judge to examine the case of Moshe Katsav and to send him to jail".

Mazuz: "Is there an anti-democratic State like this that gave an Arab judge to sentence a former President to imprisonment? Is there such a place? There is no such thing. National disgrace. An Arab convicts a former President and sends him to prison."

Salim Joubran was part of the three-judge panel which rejected Katsav’s appeal of his rape charges.
