'The problem is the policy, not Bibi'

Many in Israel and beyond will be eager to see Netanyahu toppled today.

But Israeli NGO Breaking the Silence has released a video reminding that whatever the outcome of the election, Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories will continue to erode its society and democracy.

"When we deprive Palestinians of democracy, we also deprive it from ourselves," the video says.

Israel rules over 5.3 million Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Though they have some autonomy, in practice Palestinians there are shut out of the Israeli systems of governance that have ruled them for more than 50 years.
