以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的竞选海报周三出现在特拉维夫利库德党总部外。

在距离被广泛认为是以色列数十年来最重要选举还有两周的时候，该国的街道上出人意料地缺乏集会和竞选海报，选民似乎更加疲惫而非投入。
Two weeks before what is widely considered Israel’s most consequential election in decades, its streets are surprisingly empty of rallies and campaign posters, with voters seemingly more exhausted than engaged.
对于一个几年前曾看到数十万人每周聚集在中心广场抗议以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡政策的社会来说，这种冷清是值得注意的。
For a society that a few years ago saw hundreds of thousands pack central squares weekly to protest the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the listlessness is noteworthy.
“这是自1949年以来最重要的选举，也是我所能回忆起的最缺乏活力的存在时刻，”约西·克莱因·黑利说，他是多本以色列主题书籍的作者，耶路撒冷沙洛姆哈特曼研究所的高级研究员。
“It’s the most significant election since 1949 and the most lackluster existential moment that I can recall,” said Yossi Klein Halevi, author of several books on Israel and a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, a Jerusalem think tank.
