The collapse of the "experiment government", a leadership debate framed as "only Bibi" Vs "Just not Bibi" and the disappearance of the Palestinian conflict from public debate - these are some of the reasons many young Israelis are considering not to vote in the upcoming election. In this conversation hosted by Plus61J Media and This Is Not An Ulpan, young Jewish and Palestinian Israelis share their concerns and attitudes towards Election #5.
