Lee Diamond – Democracy: Israel Style

The day was called a Shabbaton.

A National Sabbatical for all.

Just as Shabbat is a national

Institution in Israel

Just as holidays are national

Institutions in Israel

Just as Yom Kippur is national day

Of Israel

So was municipal Election Day

In our country

Jews voted, Druze voted

Moslems voted, Christians voted,

All for the candidates that they

Chose for their villages, town and cities.

The voting rooms had reps

Of all parties overseeing

An election supervisor

A private booth with names of parties

Or candidates to choose from

An envelope to pace your chosen

Slip in

And an election box with

A slit for entering your vote.

But best Of all

Was that many parents brought

Their children into the voting booth

And had the children

Insert the envelope

In the voting box.

What an place Israel is.

For me this Is democracy at its best.

Did someone once refer to this as apartheid?
