Lots of people flew to Israel for this election. Tickets were crazy expensive. My parents thought about doing it (and my grandma who is passionately anti-Netanyahu and was marching against him during the judicial reform stuff at her very advanced age even wanted to pay for their tickets, not that they’d have taken her up on that it would be harder for her to afford then for them) but weren’t able to swing it with their work schedule.
