Benjamin stands in front of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament), which is closed for the day. While I read that the style of the Knesset building was inspired by the Parthenon, I'm just not seeing it. It looks like a large bunker to me. It's election season in Israel and the bet is on Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu to continue as prime minister. Our guide drove us past the prime minister's residence, which also looks like a bunker, with a little bouganveilla to soften the look. A guard in front of the residence told our guide in Hebrew to "move forward a little", no lingering allowed.
