Shelly Yachimovich, No. 3 on the Zionist Union list (behind Herzog and Livni) uses facebook to accuse the PM of being “racist” over warnings over the foreign funds being used to bus Arabs to the polls (while the Arabs themselves bragged about their turnout being way up this morning).

Answering a question from a voter on Facebook, Yachimovich says: “No Western leader would dare utter such a racist comment. Imagine a prime minister/president in any democracy who would warn that his rule is in jeopardy because, e.g., ‘Black voters are coming in droves to the polling stations’… Horrendous, isn’t it? In any case, I think what worries Bibi is that Israeli citizens are moving in droves to the ballots, and quite simply want to democratically topple him.”
