How does Ben Ari's past disqualification from a political party due to racism relate to the current charges, and what is his defense strategy?

The charges against Ben Ari stem from public speeches, media interviews, and social media posts where he reportedly characterized Israeli Arabs as enemies and called for their exclusion from society. This trial follows a previous Supreme Court decision disqualifying him from a political party due to similar concerns about racism. The case highlights the ongoing debate in Israel about freedom of speech versus incitement to racism.
