“The right thing to do is to follow your truth. Those who have the right to vote should go out in order to influence. And if you don’t know who to vote for, vote for ‘Simply Love' (Pashut Ahava). We also accept women, also Bedouin and also Arabs.

Quote of the day:
"As a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, it shocks me that a party that follows the path of Rabbi Kahane, who supports terror and harms innocents only because they are Arabs, receives widespread legitimacy and coverage.

--MK Michal Biran (Kulanu) told Maariv after equating the Otzma Yehudit party with the Nazi government.*

Quote of the day:
"The Lamed Hey convoy was a group of people who fought shoulder to shoulder and fell together: secular and religious, Ashkenazis and Mizrachis. So to turn this subject into a source of division for horrible election propaganda with all the photos from terror attacks, this makes me so sad.”
