Israel’s Knesset elections are tomorrow, which means by now just about everyone has weighed in to tell Israelis who they should vote for. But not everyone. Chuck Norris released a video today politely titled, “Please vote for Prime Minister Netanyahu!”

In the video, Norris calls Netanyahu a strong leader and reminds us he’s filmed three movies in Israel, so he knows what he’s talking about.

You have an incredible country, and we want to keep it that way,” he Norrisplains. “That’s why it’s so important to keep a leader who has the courage and vision to stand up against the evil forces that are threatening not only Israel, but also the United States.”
