With general elections a week away, 11 Shevat 5773, it appears many voters remain undecided.
While there are 34 parties running for a spot in the 120-seat Knesset and realizing over 60% of eligible Israelis vote, there is still about 25% of those voters who admit they are uncertain which party they will vote for.
Some voters feel that all the parties deliver the same message, the same old election rhetoric and they fail to bring anything new to the political scene.
“We have to a party we can trust” says one respondent, while another explains “We are sick and tired of the big parties and the atomic bombs… and this is going to change.”
“I’ll base my decision on intuition because there is really no one to vote for” another says, and when asked “Whose side are you on?” he replied without hesitation, “my side.”

This election has been muddied with irrelevant issues that revolve around money & power. The real issue is NOT about funding for yeshivas or avreichim; it’s NOT about drafts or community service; it’s NOT about which Rebbe is in charge…
The real issue is about the survival of Our people in Our Land. The problem with most of the politicians is that they want to give our Land and our security away to the muslim terrorists. You can pretend that we’ll get peace in return but the facts of Jewish history guarantee that you’re wrong. Don’t fool yourself into believing that if only the Zionists would give in to the arabs, somehow we’d have peace. The arabs want blood and they don’t care if you’re reform, conservative, orthodox, chareidi, or Neturei Karta – they want us all dead.
Personally I would vote for Otzma LeyIsrael but this year I think it is important to vote for Bayit Yehudi.
Bayit Yehudi needs all the seats they can get to counter balance Bibi from leaning left and making deals with some of the anti religious parties effecting the status Quo.
