This would be like the Republican's having the Democratic party banned from the elections because the Democratic party is against the Iraq war.....
The democrats were never against the war.
Why is what? Why will the courts make the decision or why should we accept it.
My question was "why should we accept what the courts say?" You certainly don't uphold the rule of courts in all cases, so you can't argue that (Iranian courts, for example). So why should we accept the ruling?
Your analogy is silly. If Israel has a law on the books that the party must recognize Israel's right to exist and they don't, they should be banned from the ballot. Your little strawman is completely irrelevant to the Israeli situation.
There has been absolutely no evidence offered that they believe that. These party officials have also denied those claims, and considering the fact that this comes not only during the incursion into Gaza, which they opposed, but also in the run up to elections, it is pretty obvious that this is a sham perpetrated by the right wingers in the Knesset.
EDIT: Here's some more information regarding this event:
The Central Elections Committee voted 26-3 with one abstention to ban Balad from the elections and 21-3 with eight abstentions to disqualify UAL Ta'al.
Source
Three petitions to disqualify Balad from running were filed with the Elections Committee last week by the Ichud Leumi (National Union) and Israel Beitenu parties and Itay Furman, formerly of Shinui.

The National Union and Israel Beitenu parties are far-right ultra-nationalists, which supports what I've said. Would you like to condemn this action, ludahai?
EDIT #2: Further clarification from Jalad Zahalka, chairman of Balad:
"Balad is a democratic and progressive party and we believe in the basic principle of equality for all people. We would never accept, politically or emotionally, claims that someone else is superior to us just because we're Arabs," Zahalka said. "All we demand is democracy! What are you afraid of when we ask for equality? We are the sons of this country, we were born here and we are willing to treat you with equality, so why don't you? We offer to live together. [Israel Beitenu chairman Avigdor] Lieberman offers to die together."
"We say, any vote given to Kadima is a bullet in the chest of a Palestinian child in Gaza," Tibi told the committee prior to the vote. "Israel's problem is not Balad, not UAL, but the Kadima Party and [Defense Minister and Labor chairman Ehud] Barak. These people started a war as an election campaign. The State of Israel is democratic for Jews and Jewish for its Arab citizens. We never said that we don't recognize the State of Israel. We are part of it, but we will never accept Zionism, which is an ideology that aspires to banish us from our homes."
