Despite my irritated and pessimistic tone.
I'm quite enthusiastic about being able to execute my right to vote - as it will be my first time. I know... 23 and never voted! What's wrong with the world.
Well in 2003 I turned 18 just two weeks after the election.
And in 2006 I was out of the country and Israel doesn't do absentee ballots.
So 2009 will be my first time.
The party I will be voting for will most likely be in the Opposition not matter which leading party ends up being in the PM office.
The party in question is HADASH/AL-JABHA - which is the acronym for The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality - I wrote about in my previous Hebrew entry.
It's a Socialist-Democratic party (not to be confused with Social-Democracy).
It's a joint Jewish-Arab party that operates both in Hebrew and Arabic.
They promote workers rights, women's rights, environmentalism etc. etc. etc.
Their campaign video exemplifies this quite well... it is in fact, clear.
The video below is in Hebrew and Arabic with English subtitles.
