Itai Landsberg-Nevo: A crude and simple election fraud affects our fate

Itai Landsberg-Nevo argues that Israel's primitive voting system, based on paper ballots, allows for crude manipulation of election results on a single day through scare messages and media propaganda. He accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of exploiting the system to energize his voters, and proposes intelligent digital elections as a preventive measure.

Itai Landsberg-Nevo argues that Israel's primitive voting system, based on paper ballots, allows for crude manipulation of election results on a single day. According to him, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exploited this system on the last election day by distributing frightening messages to millions of phones, spreading rumors about "election theft" and "Arabs moving in large numbers to polling stations," and using a media propaganda machine on channels 14, i24, and 12. The author claims that Netanyahu, whom he calls a "dictator in the making," succeeded in energizing his voters to vote for him again, despite being responsible for a three-year war that he brought upon them, and despite their family members being killed and their homes destroyed. Landsberg-Nevo proposes an intelligent digital voting system that would allow referendums on cross-party issues and prevent last-minute media manipulations. The article is a personal opinion, and the author notes that he is a citizen concerned about governmental corruption, racism, and violence.
