Multiculturalism

I have heard it said that Israel is the most multicultural state on earth (I believe measured by the number of people who speak a first tongue other than the main language). To support this claim, I present the gingle for the Kadima party in... Amharic.

For those who don't know, Amharic is the official language of Ethiopia and the language spoken by the nearly 100,000 Ethiopian migrants of Jewish origin who live in Israel. For a closer look at Israel's demographics, visit this site.

It looks like this election is going to have the lowest turnout in the country's history. It seems apathy is the big winner of the day.
