These elections are momentous for Israel \u2013 the repercussions will be felt way beyond the 120 politicians who will win places in the Knesset. Yet they will also resonate far beyond even the country itself: its elections will affect millions who aren&#8217;t even voting.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"rich-text\" class=\"x13faqbe x12ds5z6 x1rrzvkg x1txrjqu x115k1yo x126s5kd x1az39ph x1qxhirb xhhm3bp xjplvm8 x1ur7pbh\">In the past, hasbara advocates liked to boast that diminutive Israel punched above its weight. These days, the fact that Israel is a pivotal factor in the domestic debates on campus, in the streets and corporate offices of so many other countries is more often a curse, self-inflicted or not, rather than a blessing.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"rich-text\" class=\"x13faqbe x12ds5z6 x1rrzvkg x1txrjqu x115k1yo x126s5kd x1az39ph x1qxhirb xhhm3bp xjplvm8 x1ur7pbh\">Whether this election sees the end of the decades-long Netanyahu era or its continuation will have far reaching effects across the globe on day-to-day lives, from members of the Jewish and Palestinian diasporas to investors, publishers and human rights activists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Close A man ties a Netanyahu election sign at Jerusalem&#8217;s Mahne Yehuda Market.
