Israel is holding elections today, the result of Ariel Sharon disbanding the government and forming a new political party, Kadima, some months ago. The Israel Project has a run-down of the views of the 31(!) political parties running for seats in the Knesset (parliament). Elections here mean a public holiday and the kids are home.
Looks like the Palestinians fired their first Katyusha as a celebration too.
Todd, Did some of the election process occur at Newe Ilan? I read that in the Jerusalem Post. Interesting. I’m still trying to catch up with what all of it means…
