To the Israeli voter, who committed himself and his vote to removing Netanyahu and all religious zealots from the government of Israel:

Thank you. We all owe you our lives. Removing the dishonest, war-mongering right wing, the pro Settlement faction, and religious zealots from government has moved Israel and it's citizens back from the brink of the abyss. You and I have something in common: We know we are safer when Israel moves deliberately and honestly toward the peace agreement Bibi and Likud have intentionally evaded for decades.
