Israel has just shown the West that its citizens were more than capable of expressing themselves clearly and unambiguously. This is the message that needs to be internalized in America.
Israelis were heroic in this election for their civility and, again, for showing up. And they showed up to send a very powerful message to themselves and, I would suggest, to the democratic world. The message was clear and simple: we embrace Zionism; we embrace tradition; we are not afraid to assert our individuality as a nation
My prediction is that our election will have a subliminal but important impact on those in the United States that will take place exactly a week after ours.
