Israeli elections.

Approx. 1 in 3 of all the people living under Israeli control *can't* vote.

🚫 Palestinian residents of annexed Jerusalem.

🚫 Palestinians in the militarily occupied West Bank & Gaza Strip.

#Israelex22 is an expression not of democracy but the lack thereof.
"but they're not Israeli citizens of course they can't vote"

That's...sort of the point?

They're not citizens - and yet Israel has ruled them and colonised their land for decades. Curious!
Two illustrations.

1. Notice anything interesting about the map shared by the Israeli military in its voting guide for soldiers?

2. Ben-Gvir casts his vote in the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba in the occupied West Bank. ImageImage

Único estado judío de la Tierra, surgido en 1948 sobre lo que antes era el Mandato británico de Palestina, Israel ha polarizado al mundo como probablemente ningún otro tema antes (en materia internacional). Por eso nos limitaremos, exclusivamente, al tema electoral. Image
Israel es una república parlamentaria sin una constitución codificada, sino un conjunto de Leyes Básicas. El presidente es el jefe de estado ceremonial y el primer ministro es el jefe de gobierno, sometido a la aprobación de la #Knesset (literalmente "Reunión" o "Asamblea"). Image

For years far-right Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir was considered to be beyond the pale. Today, he is expected to be the surprise of #Israelex22, a potential kingmaker and a likely minister in a Netanyahu gov't. Here are 5 signature Ben-Gvir moments worth checking out.
1/ 2015 - Ben-Gvir (in white) leads a group of settlers in Hebron, harassing an Arab shopkeeper and telling them to go back to Syria. Once a fight breaks out, Ben-Gvir bravely takes out a clothing rack (0:20). Impressive, I guess, considering he did not serve in the IDF.
2/ 1995 - Back in the 90s, during the Oslo process Ben-Gvir steals the symbol off Prime Minister Rabin's car and says, "Just like we got to this symbol, we can get to Rabin." PM Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a right-wing extremist later that year.

First, Jerusalem:
Jewish-supremacy mobs roam streets of Jlm on Thursday nights. flag waving Israelis chant anti-Palestinian chants, and "look for an Arab" to harass or beat. Their goal "that Arabs will be afraid to walk around here" 13tv.co.il/item/news/poli…
