Adi and Rafi Aviv, both 39, cosmetician and high-tech engineer

Rafi works in the high-tech industry. Adi, his wife, is a cosmetician. They took a day off together to stroll along the streets of Tel Aviv.

Adi: “I feel instability, lots of fears and confusion. We don’t know the politicians. There isn’t someone you can clearly say ‘I want him’; ‘this is the man I sympathize with.’ I will decide at the last minute.”

Rafi plans to vote for Kadima, headed by Ehud Olmert.

Rafi: “I think the Israeli society is finally getting more mature; more realistic. A strong center is being created that will make more realistic decisions and will strive for solutions that will allow us to live in the area, even if takes more unilateral withdrawals.”

The couple doesn’t agree about Olmert.

Adi: “I don’t think I had any problem with electing Sharon again; Olmert is a different story.”

Rafi: “Olmert is a reliable and realistic man. True, he doesn’t have Sharon’s charisma, but he certainly can provide the goods.”

Adi: “As I see it, Olmert isn’t enough. I can’t see him making decisions and standing on his own.”
