I am desperate, not afraid!
As we get closer to voting day, the day we Israelis have
the opportunity and obligation to vote for who we believe should lead Israel
and the Jewish people, too many politicians are trying to scare me: whether
it's about Iran, Haredim, Arabs, Palestinians, Settlers, Mizrachim, Ashkenazim,
education, army … the list is long. But I don’t want to vote because I am
scared. I want to vote for a vision, for an alternative to the last four years
and an alternative to what seems inevitable—another four years of the
deterioration of the Zionist dream. I am tired of politicians trying to scare
me into voting for them. I will not vote out of fear. I believe Shelly
Yachimovich and the Labor Party are the only alternative to fear.
I may be desperate but I am not afraid, I'm voting Labor because I believe.
