Rivlin urges unsure citizens to ‘go and vote’

President Reuven Rivlin invites more than 100 Israelis who declared on Facebook they are not going to vote to his official residence in Jerusalem, in order to try and convince them to go to the ballots next Tuesday.

According to a report on Ynet, Rivlin tells the guests that “desperation is the enemy of democracy.” Rivlin called on them to examine their priorities, “choose what is best for you, those who deal with what is important to you. Desperation increases the power of extreme, violent groups which are dangerous for everyone. Those who choose not to vote hurt those closest to them.”
