Why is it the “Police spokesman” who comments on voter turnout?
A sign that was plastered around Beit Shemesh in preparation for Israel�s municipal election may well contain the gist of the city�s turbulent elections in one sentence: �Polling stations will be available to women from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm,� the sign read. �Men will vote from 4:00 pm onward.�
The sign�s authenticity has already been challenged � haredi residents claim secular provocateurs fabricated it to create hype around Tuesday�s municipal election. Either way, Beit Shemesh is, without a doubt, in the midst of a tight fight for mayoral success that holds within it the innate impasse between the city�s secularist residents of all stripes and its religious ones.
Of Course Aboutbol, who was painted as some black horrible haredi,is really a FORMER MOVIE ACTOR and BT ,BUT HEAVEN HELP US if you and the secular oriented become aware
