The only democracy in the Middle East? 4.5m people can't vote in the Israeli elections

posted on: Mar 18, 2015

Today Israeli citizens are going to vote for their next government in a country often labeled as “the only democracy in the Middle East”. Ironically, they will be voting on ballot cards produced in an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank by Palestinians, who will have no input in the political process.
In fact, approximately 4.5m Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have no say in deciding which Israeli political party will control every aspect of their lives.
