Apocalypse in Palestine: The rise of Israeli fanaticism
Israel’s fanatics do not want a democratic state, they want a religious kingdom.

Say what you may about Israel’s ruling fanatics but listen carefully to what they say. Unlike their coalition partner, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, they are blunt about their racism and bigotry.
These straight-talking maniacs say what they think and do what they say. Their vision may be disastrous, even catastrophic, but their candour is refreshing in the way it exposes the myth of a secular, liberal and enlightened Israel.
One leading fanatic is Bezalel Smotrich, the head of the Religious Zionism party and Israel’s new finance minister. After a recording of him admitting to being a fascist became public in recent days, he retorted sardonically:
“I may be a far-right person, a homophobe, racist, fascist, but my word is my bond”.
True that. And more.

Fascists. Sooner or later America will accept its gross errors over decades.
