Israeli election campaign advertisements have become outdated and ineffective, largely due to a law from 1959 that has not been updated to reflect modern media consumption. The law mandates broadcast time for political parties, but its antiquated nature has led parties to shift their focus from television spots to public appearances and social media campaigns.
Candidates now prioritize events in public spaces like Mahane Yehuda Market, with their appearances quickly amplified across social media platforms. These digital efforts, often featuring short, repetitive slogans and basic production values, are used to gauge a politician's popularity and perceived relevance. The article suggests that the content produced is often amateurish and lacks depth, contrasting it with more original and impactful slogans from past campaigns.
The current state of election broadcasts is described as a "sad and unnecessary joke," primarily serving as material for satirical television shows. The author posits that if elections go to a second round, the broadcast time should be transferred to social media platforms, acknowledging their current dominance in political campaigning.
