[edit] donation and aftermath

The Gutnick funding is unsourced, but otherwise can you find a similar donor? The labour party seems to have a history of rich supporters.

As for the 'aftermath', it should be noted that allowing voters to vote seperately for pm, allowed them to vote for a smaller party closer to their opinions rather than the big parties. Good work otherwise as usual. --Shuki 22:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I've added a source for the Gutnick thing - wasn't intending to make Likud look bad, but it was just something I came across whilst researching the election so I thought it would be useful. A quick search didn't show up anything for Peres, but if you can find anything add it. I've updated the aftermath thing to make it clear about voting for smaller parties.

Well, I wasn't really accusing you of that, though I suppose that otherwise it would be expected. Frankly, the whole issue of wild election funding of all Israeli parties by foreign means should be more developed in general (againm not accusing youm just a general suggestion). I suppose the Guttnick mention is valid since the media made such a big deal about it then, I was wondering if Saban was funding the Peres/Labour at that time or only after. Another thing that deserves mention is the thousands of people (from both sides of the coin) that travelled on chartered planes to Israel specifically to vote in the elections of the late 90s. --Shuki 23:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll see what I can find and add it in. Number 57 23:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
