voter turnout in israel at highest by midday since 1977

normally a good thing. for netanyahu, high arab turnout is an ‘emergency’

(…and an excuse to claim election was stolen, of course)

Seems that Arab towns’ average turnout is about 4-5 pp lower than Jewish towns. Still 1.5h until the polls close.

Guy Grossman @guygrossman.bsky.social · 10h

Traditionally the turnout gap between Jewish and Arab voters is 10pp. Watch out for that number. If it’s lower - Netanyahu is pretty much toast.

Please God get rid of Netanyahu. I know the alternative isn't great but it's better than more of him with Ben Gvir and Smotrich.

@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Netanyahu is sounding utterly desperate today.

He's posting non-stop about high Arab voting turnout to create hysteria and fear.

He also released a video statement claiming "They are trying to steal the election from us!"

Arab Israelis make up 21% of the Israeli electorate.

Huge lines at polling stations in the Arab sector.

If we don't wake up now, we'll find ourselves with a government of Mansour Abbas and Ahmed Tibi.

This is the time to wake up and act! Call your family and friends now, go together to the polling stations and vote Machal

"This is an emergency call!

The future of our Jewish state hangs in the balance. Go out and vote right now!

Higher-than-usual voter turnout in the Arab sector compared to the low turnout of right-wing voters.

We must wake up - we must not stay home."

"Listen to Mansour Abbas, the partner of Eizenkot, Lieberman, and Yair Golan.

My brothers and sisters, right-wing voters, if we don't go out to vote, we'll get a government of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The turnout in the strongholds of the left and the Arab sector is breaking records."

"We're at war for our home 🚨

Muslim Brotherhood supporters are raiding the polling stations and stealing the elections.

Go out and vote, recover it!!"
