Sorry about the lighting. I filmed this at the apartment of a friend who has since moved to the US. I'm still trying to figure out the setup for future videos, but rest assured it definitely won't be this.

[keystonehistory]

"Is Israel a Shogunate?" Shooting to the top of my "Sentences I never expected to hear" list.

[Gallalad]

It is extremely interesting to see how similar the Irish and Israeli presidents are. Including both the current being born in Ireland.

[Pratchettgaiman]

Now I can't get the phrase "Shogun Naftali Bennet" out of my head, thank you for that

[swingrope]

Can't believe how underrated this channel is. Please consider posting more!

[damntrees]

Sam if you're gonna read this, please consider reviving the channel

[ariazar]

Is this YouTube channel dead or you plan to still make videos because your videos on this channel is very good.

[JazzyWaffles]

Looks like there's gonna be a 2022 election too! Any plans on returning to cover that one?

[kfiraltberger]

Great video! Would love to see one on the latest elections...

[ThatOneCatto]

I live in the neighborhood Tsahala in Tel Aviv and actually saw Hertzog moving out of his house last year!

[Aviv]

Man, attributing Peres to Kadima really hurts.

[thedemongodvlogs]

Yes, I've Been waiting for this one for awhile!

He is also half Egyptian, so what? I don't think the origin is matters to someone.

But what does matter is that Haim Hertzog won *Ireland's boxing championship.*

Who else have a president that is a champion boxer? That's the most bad-a$$ president ever!

[aothanhhuy]

Can you make a video about the 2022 Israel election?

[מ.מ-הד]

Another incredible video!

*Next time I recommend that the light wouldn't be in front of the camera.*

[JohnWalterGates]

Hey man, thks for your videos. I'm a catalan interested in studying political science in Jerusalem, and your videos have been instrumental in understanding this mess haha

[navetal]

Great video as always, but the bright sunlight from the window behind you and not enough light coming from the front make you appear too dark in some shots...

[CivilWarWeekByWeek]

So when when Herzog is out, how would Israel like a young skinny midwest Jew to run things

[cturner]

Hoping he comes back for this channel after a while

Since you're done of the elections, maybe you could do a video going in depth on all the parties. (History, Policy, Relations with other parties) and maybe go more in depth with some of their MKs.
