Why did Israelis Head to the Polls Again? Israel Elections 2019 | Unpacked

[@UNPACKED]

Eylon's twitter handle is twitter.com/EylonALevy and not @ElyonALevy like the graphics in our video says. Sorry Eylon!

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

Very informative and well balanced as usual, I just have one question: Lieberman wanted a stronger response against Hamas than Netanyahu? Or vice versa? Could you please explain this?

[@UNPACKED]

As with politics, it comes down to how you want to spin it. You can check out the sources we cite (link in the comments) to read more about this.

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

@a v I don't trust either of them, although I think the Ultra-Orthodox should definitely not be exempt. Israel should not have protected classes.

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

@a v yes, well, it's already a messy situation. We are a small country with big problems already, and it will be hard to get anything done given our current political system, where there are so many different parties, and only a few of them propose viable solutions.

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

@a v indeed. Israel the American model works much better for Israel than the Western European model. The same goes for American Constitutional freedoms, separation of powers, and Legal system.

[@omersetty682]

As an Israeli I must say this video was very accurate and educative of the situation going in Israel ;)

[@UNPACKED]

תודה רבה! עבדנו קשה כדי לדייק כמה שיותר, וגם להביא את הדברים באופן הכי אובייקטיבי שאפשר. (in English: thanks! We worked really hard on making the information as accurate as possible, and on presenting the information in the most objective way we could.)

[@religiousmapping319]

I am proud of you because you are translating the things that made in Hebrew instead of just say it in Hebrew with a strange voice

[@UNPACKED]

Thank you!

[@TAXCOLLECTOR-mx3mg]

Though it is a fact that Hebrew has nothing to do with Israel. Israel is based on a lie.

[@SimonSzxcv]

Nicely edited and good, informative video in general.

[@UNPACKED]

Thank you! We worked very hard on this and are excited to make more like this in the future.

[@shrk128]

Shockingly unbiased - refreshing considering current MSM

[@UNPACKED]

We try! Thanks. Amazing that this more or less still accurate for the fourth time around.

[@yaelsolomon7046]

Great video! please make one for the 3rd elections!

[@UNPACKED]

We were thinking about it, but aren't sure there's much else to tell about it. Also, we're worried that we'll set a precedent and have to make new ones for the 4th, 5th, 6th (...) ones 😱😂

[@heedoabulaban]

@@UNPACKED This aged well, do another one now that the country is having the fourth election 😭

Can you do a video on the third election in March too?

[@mrhand3350]

Only one can win, benny gantz

[@הראלשדה]

Great Explaination.

[@merkavamkivm5156]

Guess what now? 3rd round!!!

[@hanutiwari5272]

Can we get a new series on best startups and their technology in Israel, or you add a new section of technology in your vedio section, a humble request from india

[@puneetsonpal5340]

One question why did the parties agree to a new election if they are against Netanyahu ? They could have formed a govt without since nethanyahu only has 35 seats

[@UNPACKED]

They didn't have much of a choice. The President gives the mandate to someone to form a government, and the Likud managed to convince enough MKs to vote to disband the Knesset. Once that happened no one can form a government since there is no Knesset. Blue and White also only had 35 seats and likely wouldn't have been able to form one at the time either.

[@dawnjohnson3477]

I love our priminister of Israel, Netanyahu!!

[@MarkEliasGrant]

Yeah, love him so much that you're set to annex territory in the Jordan Valley. Good idea. Question? When you annex the West Bank will you also give the Palestinians citizenship? If not that is apartheid, if so, that is the end of a Jewish state. Suggestion? Work for two states.

[@eyalitzhak1934]

And now for the third time.....

[@talyabenatar2512]

Im from israel and no one had explane whats going on here like you did and this is funny😂😂😂

[@UNPACKED]

תודה! לא תכננו שזה יצחיק, אבל שמחים שנהנית. Thanks! We didn't indend for this to be funny, but glad you enjoyed nonetheless. We're also glad to fill a much needed void.

[@talyabenatar2512]

@@UNPACKED Oh, no the thing that was funny is that people who lives out of israel know better whats happening in israel then the people who lives there (aka me😅) the video was very good and true and intresting but not funny but I still enjoyed watching it😅😂

The writer of this video lives in Israel ☺

[@deynna45]

So in other words they want someone whose more hardline than bibi, poor Palestinian i feel sorry for what's coming if bibi win or lose

[@mishmesh7604]

🤦‍♂️

[@UNPACKED]

We aren't exactly sure how you understood that from this video, and if you look at the actual results, you'll see that isn't entirely the case either.

[@TAXCOLLECTOR-mx3mg]

All because Netanyahu failed to invade Gaza. Such a deal.

[@daniely8350]

I'm a Russian Jew and Lieberman embarrasses me.

[@YishaiBarr]

Well, he's Moldovan. So, don't worry.

[@jakelivni9576]

Lieberman is as anti-Jewish as any communist ever was. He hates Arabs as well. So maybe he's just a Russian Fascist, after all.

[@yakov95000]

I am Likudnik still love Bibi very much but probably voting to Lieberman we need power for the secular right wing:)

[@yakov95000]

@a v I am very sorry brother I am going against whole older family saying this but we brothers would have voted for Bennet or Zehut(I voted for Bibi in the end and regretted that)if we could have secular Right wing also against the Ultra Orthodox and the Arabs both are the big big problem in Arad,I live next door in Dimona here Haredi and Bedoiuns are nice but we don't trust them.

[@MarkEliasGrant]

@a v people like you place ideology ahead of what works. Spare me your bullshit "there never was a blah blah state and ever will be." Who cares? There never was a Venezuelan state, there is one now. There never was South Sudan, now there is. Who cares? I don't care about narratives, I care about solutions. That's all very well and fine, may I ask you what you expect: You don't want a Palestinian state. What do you propose then? There are millions of Palestinians living under a Military occupation and military administration/law. If you annex this territory what happens to t hem? Do they become citizens? If not - we have a word for this: apartheid. If they DO become citizens they have a right to vote and you end a jewish state. I am giving you th ebest of both worlds, a two state solution with guarantees security ones, to protect each side and provide for two states for two peoples, you don't want that because you are GREEDY and you WANT LAND. You don't want peace. You want to annex territory because you think God gave it to you. The Palestinian extremists are as bad/worse they think they can erase a Jewish state and establish a Muslim caliphate etc. Those of us in the center and in our state dept and in Europe want a agreement for the two sides which ensures you both have the right to live separate lives in separate states. You're too extreme to ever see that this is best for you.

[@MarkEliasGrant]

@@yakov95000 Of course you don't trust each other, you are raised from a young age to hate one another. Your cultures are equally mistrustful of each other because of how you are brainwashed. It's very sad. I have been to Jerusalem and personally witnessed the hatred from Jews, Muslims etc towards one another. It's sickening.

[@MarkEliasGrant]

@a v Again: Do you want settlements and one state? If so, please keep voting likud to end a Jewish state. I wish you the best of luck in a one state solution. Please note everyone: They never, ever ever answer WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE SETTLEMENTS INTERTWINING with Arab areas? If they don't want a Palestinian state to separate from each other, what do they want? Indefinite occupation and military law for them? It can't happen.

[@jakelivni9576]

Mark Grant, you sound like such an ignorant foreigner, preaching on what you know not. The invading Arabs who are not citizens (and STILL call themselves refugees) are free to go home to Jordan from whence they came. Arab villages and towns in the WB are the true "illegal settlements" directly violating the Geneva conventions. You seem to be the victim of routine Lefty propaganda and don't know the history at all.
