Didn't we hear the same sort of thing from conservatives about Blacks being bussed to the polls by (eek!) left wing organizations?

"Voter turnout in the Arab sector is three times higher! The threat is real: Abu Mazen's calls and American money are getting the Arab vote out. Go and vote," a message sent by Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud party informed Israelis during Election Day.

At midday, Netanyahu claimed high Arab voter turnout was putting his right wing Likud Party's rule "in danger," according to a posting on his Facebook page. "Arab voters are going to the polls in droves. Left wing organizations are bringing them in buses," he said.

He also called on supporters to vote for him to "narrow the gap" between Likud and the Zionist Union. "With your help, and with the help of God, we will build a nationalist government that will protect the state of Israel," he said.

However, according to data attained by Ynet the voter turnout among Israeli Arabs was similar to the average of previous elections, with some communities reporting a lower than average turnout.
