This is a very new party, they only really started operating a couple of months ago. The background story is that the nascent libertarian movement in Israel just came into existence about two years ago, and has been growing quickly ever since. A few of the bigger activists took over an old marijuana party ("Ale Yarok," or "Green Leaf") and turned it into a pure libertarian party. They'll be running for the coming elections in a few weeks.

It's hard to say if they'll get into the parliament, but they've been pretty successful at spreading their message. For instance, their Facebook page has over 40,000 likes and has gone up almost 30,000 likes in just the past month.

I believe they'll have enough voters to get into the Knesset (parliament?)

Do any bigger political parties accept Bitcoin?

None yet. Our elections are in a week or two ... perhaps 3-4 years from now.

Excellent! However, it seems the Israeli Libertarian Party is not very mainstream, as "it has had no representation in the Knesset". (I am unfortunately not well-versed in Israeli politics, and do not know how their Knesset works—if it's similar to the Us's, this is not a concern). Do any bigger political parties accept Bitcoin?

For Hebrew speakers I thought I would mention that there is a 24% done translation of MultiBit available.

If any native Hebrew speakers would like to translate any of the remaining texts, please head over to http://translate.multibit.org.
