Australian businessman and philanthropist Rabbi Yosef Gutnick launched a new campaign urging Israelis to vote for right-wing parties in the national legislative election this Tuesday, November 1.
Titled “Choose life,” the print and digital campaign calls on citizens to vote for parties that oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state and won’t give away territories of the holy land of Israel.
“This coming Tuesday, we must tip the balance of the election and vote for life – of security, tradition, and unity,” the ads in both Hebrew and English read. “After this past year, we cannot afford to stay home. Everyone must go out and vote!”
The campaign is running at an extremely timely point in Israel’s history as a political gridlock has thrown the country into its fifth national election in less than four years while continuing to face an onslaught of Arab terror.
Right-wing voters not casting their ballot in the most recent round led to the outing of Israel’s longest-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the formation of a “unity coalition” of right and left parties with the United Arab List.
Gutnick, who financed Netanyahu’s initial improbable rise to power in 1996, opposes a unity government. The Rebbe “would not have been happy with forming a government with representatives from the Arab community who are against the State of Israel,” he told Israel National News.
Gutnick holds the title of “Emissary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe for the integrity of the Holy Land” and is currently spending time in Jerusalem to influence the election. His campaign doesn’t name which parties he supports, but he makes clear that a strictly right-wing government is what Israel needs most today.

May his efforts be met with success!
Netanyahu is not really right wing. He was the one who gave away Chevron to the mohammedans. The whole city is now a churban, with Jews denied entry to 90 percent of it, including meoras hamachpela.
But btw Mearat hamachpeilah is open to Jews all year long.
Ben Gvir lives in Nachalat ha’avot between Hebron and Q4. He may not be a polished politician, but Jewish rights and Israel is his passion!
We must vote for BIBI and his team!
The alternative is disastrous!
