Mishpat Tzedek invalidated

The electoral board invalidated Hiba Yazbek from running for Knesset on the Arab Joint List (under the Balad banner I think).

the electoral board also invalidated the Mishpat Tzedek party of Larissa Trimbobler from running.

Obviously both of these will end up in the Supreme Court for either confirmation or revocation.

I get why Yazbek was invalidated. Statements she made about attacking soldiers were referenced and she was accused of being racist, anti-Israel, inciting to murder soldiers, and the like. You might disagree with the decision to invalidate her from running, but at least the reason is reasonable and understandable.

I have yet to see a reason given for invalidating Trimbobler's party. Even if you think her goal is pointless, stupid and doomed to failure, why invalidate it? Let her run and fail on her merits. She has not said racist things (that I know of). She has not called for killing Arabs or prime ministers or soldiers or made any other somewhat treasonous statements or committed any such actions. She simply called for judicial reform to help her husband, heinous as his crime was (though she says he did not get a fair trial). This is the thought police. I say let her fail on her merits, because nobody is interested. As far as I am aware, Trimbobler did nothing to deserve invalidation. Correct me if I am wrong.

I can understand invalidating Yigal Amir from running for Knesset, should he try to, but what is the justification for invalidating Trimbobler and her party?
