Question: and what was your reaction to his warning on election day about arab voters heading to the polls "in droves"?
Answer: we indicated that that kind of rhetoric was contrary to what is the best of israel's traditions. that although israel was founded based on the historic jewish homeland and the need to have a jewish homeland, israeli democracy has been premised on everybody in the country being treated equally and fairly. and i think that that is what's best about israeli democracy. if that is lost, then i think that not only does it give ammunition to folks who don't believe in a jewish state, but it also i think starts to erode the meaning of democracy in the country.
