    It doesn’t really make sense to characterize a prime minster that is entering his (approximately) 16th year in office as being some kind of aberration. If the US elected Trump for four non-consecutive terms as president, I think would be fair to characterize the US right wing as being the norm rather than an aberration. How many times does Israel have to put a fascist in charge before they get a share of the blame for what he does in office?

      His current government is an aberration though. His latest coalition isn’t the same one as in past years. It’s far more radical. Ignoring that is beyond dangerous to the entire situation.

        You have pivoted your argument from “this government isn’t actually representative of the will of the Israeli people” to “its dangerous to ignore how much more fascist this democratically elected leadership is than the past governments, which were literally made up of the same people.” No shit, this government is dangerous, no one is arguing against that. It is ALSO the government that the people of Israeli have chosen, over and over and over again. Israel is a fascist right wing nation because they have chosen to be that.
