For the longest time, my mother and I would try to sort out Israeli politics. It was never easy. Right and Left are very different than American Right and Left. A lot of it comes from being a parliament, too, which has always been difficult for me to understand.

I think I would be considered a Rightie in Israel today.

I’m not sure—I think you’d be centrist?
I just defer to my Israeli friends on Israeli politics and though by us standards they’d be ‘left’ I don’t think they’re considered right or left there (or consider themselves to be).
They’ve also expressed concerns along the lines McSpiff raises too about their own far right.
