This is maybe the biggest surprise and quite an astonishing feat. In 75 years of Israel nothing has so animated its Arab citizens to vote as this extreme right wing and anti-Arab government.

Except for the 400,000 permanently disenfranchised Palestinians in East Jerusalem, in the city which you purport to share with them.
But hey, nobody's perfect.
Correct @BarakRavid & I should have stated it that way! 10 million ppl in @Israel 8m Jews, 2m Arabs. ALL are Israeli citizens-Jew, Muslim, or Christian. All vote, serve in IDF, in Knesset, & proudly have Israeli passports. Women equal to men. All have free speech.

I don't think there's another election anywhere in the world like election day in Israel.

הצבעתי! כערבייה פלסטינית ונבחרת ציבור בישראל - זו זכות אדירה ובלתי מובנת אליו להצביע ולהשפיע. יום טוב להעיף את הפאשיסטים הביתה, ולהמשיך לבנות מקום שבו לכלנו יש זכות לעצמאות, לביטחון, ולצדק.
My hometown of #Poughkeepsie has some rough spots, just like any post-industrial city. But in my neighborhood, the biggest danger is a sudden weight gain. Moderation, son.

67 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, leaves at their peak, Sunday silence downtown. Days like these should be available for download. – at Poughkeepsie, NY
Enjoy this #seamhead smile. Might be the last one for a long, long time.

Flying out to Cali for Thanksgiving, by way of JFK. Construction in NYC being what it is, figure I'll have to start driving this afternoon to leave enough time for the trip.
