Hver enkelt stemme tæller, når de 120 pladser i Israels parlament, Knesset, skal fordeles.
Men hvordan foregår det egentlig i praksis? Dyk ned i det israelske valgsystem her!

The reality of Palestinian violence in Judea and Samaria.
Yesterday, Palestinian attackers set fire to the Tomb of Eleazar the Priest (son of Aaron, brother of Moses, and High Priest of Israel during the biblical period) in Awarta, Samaria, damaging a Jewish holy site.
Another example of the ongoing wave of Palestinian violence targeting Jews and Jewish heritage in Judea and Samaria.

På verdensplan er Israel et af de 20 lande, der har haft et uafbrudt demokratisk valgsystem i længst tid. 🇮🇱
Siden Israel genvandt sin uafhængighed i 1948, har landet opretholdt sit parlamentariske demokrati i 78 år. I næste uge går borgerne i Israel til valg igen.
Israelere diskuterer alt: Politik, religion, fodbold – og ikke mindst hvem der laver den bedste hummus.
I næste uge, når Israel går til valg, har enhver borger over 18 år – uanset om man er jøde, muslim, kristen, druser eller andet – én stemme.

The fourth season of Netflix series “The Diplomat,” which premiered last week, paid a tribute to the late Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and killed in captivity.
Polin, says Frances Munning, the housekeeper at the US ambassador’s residence in London, battled next to her father as part of a joint British-American unit in the Allied advance through Belgium during World War II.
The story is also a salute to Goldberg-Polin’s friend, the late Aner Shapira.
“Several people told us about the episode yesterday, but we don’t watch TV, so we have not seen it,” said his mother, Rachel Goldberg-Polin. “It’s striking to know there are many people around the world trying to ensure the stories of the hostages are not whitewashed or erased.”
“The Diplomat,” starring Keri Russell, was created and written by Debora Cahn, a descendant of Holocaust survivors who has discussed how her Jewish heritage deeply influences her perspective on global affairs, storytelling, and international politics.

In Hamas-run Gaza, a teacher who refuses to teach Palestinian children to hate Jews faces a chilling threat: have your tongue cut out.
Under Hamas, teaching hatred is expected.
Refusing to spread hatred puts your life at risk.
Hamas is raising the next generation to hate Jews and perpetrate another October 7.

Israeli representatives are making their voices heard around the world! 🇮🇱🗳️
Ahead of next week’s elections in Israel, Israeli representatives serving abroad cast their ballots last week.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at democracy in action, from Israeli missions around the globe!
Den 7. oktober 2023 blev Dana Bachar og hendes 15-årige søn Carmel dræbt af palæstinensiske Hamas-terrorister i deres eget hjem.
En mor og en søn. To af de mange uskyldige menneskeliv, der brutalt blev slukket den dag.
Deres liv blev taget fra dem. Men deres historie lever videre. 🕯️

On October 7, 2023, Palestinian Hamas terrorists murdered Dana Bachar and her 15-year-old son Carmel in their home.
A mother and son. Two of the many innocent lives brutally stolen that day.
Their lives were cut short. Their stories will live on.
We will never forget. 💔🕯️

A Nazi celebration in Oslo.
Today in Oslo, the auction house "Valkyrie Historical Auctions" is expected to hold an auction of a fragment of a Torah scroll that was looted by German SS soldiers during the Holocaust.
It is a parchment sheet from a Torah scroll that was desecrated, looted and defaced by the SS, and was even used as wrapping paper by SS soldiers.
At the same time, the Norwegian government is expected to cancel its financial support for visits by Norwegian students to extermination camps.
Auctions of sacred texts looted by the Nazis: IN.
Visits to extermination camps: OUT.
Israel expects the Norwegian government to put an immediate stop to this moral obscenity.

But tomorrow never came.
On October 7, Palestinian Hamas terrorists murdered twins Liel and Yanai Hetzroni.
Two children among the many innocent lives brutally stolen that day.
They deserved to grow up. They deserved a tomorrow. 💔🕯️

🇮🇱 Vi fejrer demokratiet i praksis!
Demokratiet er levende og blomstrer i Israel. Mens vores nation forbereder sig på parlamentsvalg den 27. oktober – efter at den nuværende regering har siddet en hel 4-årig periode – afgiver stemmeberettigede israelere i udlandet – herunder diplomater og udsendinge med særlig status i Danmark – deres stemmer netop her på Israels ambassade i København.
Valget til Knesset (Israels parlament med 120 pladser) er baseret på principperne om lige, hemmelig og regelmæssig stemmeafgivelse (”én person, én stemme”).
For at imødegå den globale udfordring med hybride trusler, som demokratiske stater står overfor i dag, anvender Israels uafhængige centrale valgkomité omfattende sikkerhedsforanstaltninger. Disse omfatter sikre fysiske stemmesedler, manuel optælling, overvågning på tværs af politiske partier samt tusindvis af overvågningskameraer, der skal sikre valgets integritet hele vejen igennem.
Hver stemme tæller – uanset hvor man befinder sig!

🇮🇱 Celebrating Democracy in Action!
Democracy is vibrant and thriving in Israel. As our nation prepares for general elections on October 27,, following a full 4-year term of the current government, eligible voters living abroad—including diplomats and emissaries with special status in Denmark— are voting right here at the Embassy of Israel in Copenhagen.
Elections to the Knesset (Israel's 120-seat parliament) are built on universal, equal, secret, and periodic voting ("one person, one vote").
To counter the global challenge of hybrid threats facing democratic states today, Israel's independent Central Elections Committee deploys robust security measures. These include secure physical paper ballots, manual counting, multi-party oversight, and thousands of inspection cameras to safeguard election integrity every step of the way.
Every vote counts, near or far!

Three years later, the same jihadist ideology is being celebrated on Europe’s streets.
October 7, 2023: jihadi Hamas terrorists massacred Israelis.
October 7, 2026: Protesters in Amsterdam openly declare their support for Hamas and chant for an intifada.
This is the glorification of terrorism.
