You should post on these things more often, its a breath of fresh air.

(I remember having the same thought last time too, its nice to have somebody that you can actually disagree with without a huge firefight starting)

Although, just to snatch the carrot out from in front of you, there is VERY good reason that Israeli politics has lurched to the right over the last decade.

It’s not just some ephemeral radical shift toward nationalism. It was a fundamental reality check in the Oslo years, in which many of the pillars of the peace-movement were pulled out from under them, along with the dramatic success of Bibi Netanyahu’s conservative financial policies which helped propel Israel into the OECD.
