Israelis wait for the day when our country will no longer be the region’s only democracy, because being an island of prosperity in a sea of poverty is unnatural. Yet there is a real concern that the extremists, who are politically well organized, are seeking to gain control by the ballot over less-organized liberals, thus preventing peace and stability.
以色列人期待着我们的祖国不再是该地区唯一民主国家的那一天，因为成为贫困汪洋中的繁荣孤岛是极不自然的。但是，我们也有现实顾虑：有着良好政治组织的极端主义者正在寻求通过投票打败组织松散的自由派赢得控制权，从而阻止和平与稳定。
