Arabs living in Palestinian controlled territories (Area A & Gaza): We hate Israel, we don't want to be part of Israel or have anything to do with it. We'll hold our own elections, with no Jews allowed. (They haven't held one in more than twenty years.)
The same people: the Jews won't let us vote in Israel, it's apartheid!
Meanwhile Arabs living in Israel vote every four years as equal citizens.

Endless coverage in the Irish media about Macklemore's 'Free Palestine' concert, but nothing about the sentencing of Paddy in France. Why's that I wonder? 🤔

Israel doesn't have a two party system. Don't let the media tell you otherwise. Any combination of parties can form a government.

Oh look
An Irish politician who used a neo-Nazi slur for Jews is being interviewed on television about the Israeli elections
Certainly her analysis is objective and not biased at all 🙄
Daragh retweeted
Free Palestine has to ignore the fact that most Palestinians prefer 2 states, ignore the fact that they actually have governments, and pretend that other countries extend voting rights to noncitizens to reach this conclusion.
This is not a reality-based movement.

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

Saying "I hate Jewish people" is old fashioned antisemitism.
Saying "I create and apply new rules, definitions and laws only to the Jewish state and then use them as an excuse to say I hate Israel" is a slightly more sophisticated form of antisemitism.
Hope this helps.

There are more Muslims voting in the Israeli elections then there are Jews with the right to vote in the entirety of every Middle East country in aggregate

Bullshit alert. Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza should be voting in Palestinian elections. But the Palestinian Authority has refused to hold elections since 2006. And the Hamas terrorists in Gaza haven't held elections since seizing power in 2007.
This is the classic deception of so many Palestinian activists: blame Israel while pretending Palestinians have no agency or responsibility for their own future.

Voted in my very first Knesset election today 🇮🇱
Proud to exercise my vote in a resilient, vibrant democracy — the only one in the region.
I voted for change, secularism, democratic values, and for every citizen to share the burden of keeping the nation safe.

סבתא שלי, אהובת ליבי, ניצולת שואה בת 92.
בבחירות הקודמות היא לא יצאה להצביע כי היה לה קשה מדי. הנחתי שעכשיו במיוחד, לאחר 4 שנים, המצב יהיה זהה.
אבל אז היא אמרה לי הבוקר: ״עידו, אולי זה מאוחר בשבילי, אבל אני רוצה לבוא להצביע לבנט כדי שיהיה לך עתיד טוב יותר״ 🤍

"Was it worth it?"
Ask the Druze of Sweida.
When jihadist gunmen massacred Druze families in Syria, one country sent its air force to stop them: Israel.
Not the Arab League. Not the "Free Palestine" crowd. Not you.
And now you lecture the Druze about loyalty?
The Druze of Israel aren't anyone's "useful idiots." They're our brothers in arms, and they chose their side with open eyes.

Dear Druze of Palestine.
Was it worth it?
You turned on us to prove your loyalty to them, but they still took your lands.
You sent your sons and daughters to their front lines, but it wasn't enough.
You changed your names and brutalized us to prove your worth to them, but they passed the nationality law to further codify your inferior status.
You looked the other way as they appropriated your ancient traditions to cosplay indigeneity, but they still stabbed your boys for speaking Arabic in public.
No matter what you do, you will always be a "dirty Arab to them." They'll use your young to destroy us; they'll take your lands and steal your water; they'll tolerate you as long as one tolerates useful idiots, then they'll murder you like they murder us.
that's what happened this week.
