Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat of the NYU has written an essay on Fascism for my coming book on political language.

Israel's Unattractive Majority

To understand Israel, one need but consider the names, which some of the country’s political parties have chosen, in their quest to be attractive to the voters:

The New Right  /  Resurrection  /  Jewish Power  /  Israel Resilience   /  There is a Future  / All of Us  /  Israel Our Home  /  National Statesman-like Movement  / The Jewish Home  /  Banner of the Torah  /  United Torah Judaism  /  Torah-Observant Sephardim  /  Together -The People are with Us.

All the above as well as Netanyahu’s Likkud party are ideologically identified with holding on to as much Palestinian land as possible. Even Israel’s shrinking, and some think even disappearing, Labour party (once the party of Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, Rabin, Peres et al.) does not really oppose Netanyahu in his land-grab strategy.
