1. Wow! Voting for the third time in less than a few months. A chozek chazokah! All a bunch of Zionist Zealots. Theyre all the same junkies.

2. Miriam- Don’t worry! next election in August to be followed by one in December !!

3. I truly resent when ignorant ppl use the expression “zionist” as an expletive! Those among us who daven 3 times a day “Vsechezena einenenu bshuvcha l’Zion brachamin” are essentially Zionists. We participate in the democratic process in Israel because Israel has fostered the greatest growth and expansion of Torah after the holocaust. By channeling the voices of Ohavei Hashem thru the democratic process, the sitra achra who seeks to destroy our lifestyle is sidelined. Poking fun is easy. Working against those who seek to uproot Yiddishkeit is not. It requires all our resources, and yes, our unity as genuinely frum and informed people. If you are able, vote for the continued flourishing of Oilam HaTorah. Vote!

4. its so easy for someone to denigrate and belittle others from behind the anonymity of a computer screen
   that being said
   dont forget who your writing about, the gadol hador . i suggest you walk back your comments and publicly apologize as the gadol himself also went to vote!

5. Do we really need pictures of all these gedolim voting?? I mean why??

6. “Blue & White political reporter Dafna Liel says that the leaders of the party (Gantz, Lapid, yaalon, Ashkenazi) are in Tel Aviv trying to get people to vote. SHe says that officials are warning of a massive Likud voter surge.”

   But didn’t these guys complain that Netanyahu was racist for informing voters in a previous election that Arab parties were getting voters?

7. Anon21 yes we do bec there are unfortunately many people who want to make it sound like the rabbanim are against or at least apathetic towards voting so they need to show that the rabbanim hold it’s important to go out to vote to the point that they went out themselves to vote.

8. When do we start to get real results?

9. If the exit polls are accurate there will have to be a fourth election. 60 is less than 61.

10. To the editor: Yasher Koach for the wonderful service these past 15 years. I am always very appreciative of the fact that there is a somewhat more refined news outlet. However, this live blog doesn’t work very well for us. We only see the newest report (and sometimes not even that but only the picture of Moron Sar HaTorah Shlitah). Since we use a filtered computer we have no way of following you on twitter. I would want to know if you and the other people in the editing team can think of a way that it will be like it was at other events. That you can actually read back the somewhat older reports in the live blog. Once again thanks and behatzlach and oif besurois toivois.

11. Erekat is inciting to violence and should be arrested. He says “Netanyahu’s campaign was about the continuation of the occupation and conflict. Which will force the people of the region to Live by the sword.” He’s a terrorist notwithstanding his “Dr” title.

12. 7th elections!!!

13. levi365248 I have a filtered computer too. just click on the blog and scroll down (with the navigaton keys if you have a laptop) and you will be able to read the entire blog.

14. So what happened to Gimmel? Did they win?

15. I see Gimmel is under UTJ. So basically UTJ didn’t win but Shas did.

16. TorontoRav–Depends what you call winning. If Netanyahu can form a coalition, that will be a win for both Shas and UTJ.
