Quote of the day:
"In a true democracy, a man pursued by the law does not impose elections on 9 million people as a means to avoid a trial. In a normal democracy, we don’t hold an election over corruption. You are tried for corruption, not elected...When nothing is on the agenda in the election except for Netanyahu’s future, it is clear that what came before Tuesday will be what comes after it. But it will be even more flawed, more extreme, crazier. This is not a 'crucial' election, it is only crucial for Netanyahu."
--Yossi Klein writes in Haaretz Op-Ed today.*
