Clearly!

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.

You know, I did the political compass thing in the Ynet website (if you don't know it, they ask you loads of questions and then tell you how your views match with those of the parties, when taking into consideration not just their stated agenda but also their actual activities). I got Hadash in the third place, right after Ra'am-Ta'al and right before Balad. I think the Compass thinks I'm a left-winger :P. Still got Meretz as my first place, though.

o_O
I did the compass thing as well.
And your results are exactly like mine!
Meretz first, Ra'am-Ta'al second and Hadash third.
Dude... do we... do we share a moral/social brain!?
*gasp*

I can think of worse things to share, and worse people to share with ;)

Cried like the big baby that I am.
Beautiful, heartbreaking story.
A must for every woman, girl, grrl of any Queer persuasion... and not!
I know there are parts that on my re-read I'll skip - they were just too charged for me to handle. I had to take a break several times into the reading.

No shame in crying, there were parts I cried myself, and again when rereading, and again when rerereading...
