Members of the Likud and Labor parties went to the polls this past week for their party's primary elections. The official Hebrew term for the events is bechirot makdimot, "pre-elections," (for the root k-d-m, as in makdim, see here), but everyone knows them as prymereez (they will be discussed in a later column about the use of foreign words in Israeli politics).
