                        I don't understand how he wins. I know Israel has those complete nutbar settler fundies but they're only about 15% of the population, and I'm sure they have their hard core vigilante orcs and proto-fascists like here but, again, not all that many.

                        On the other side, it's a highly educated, highly historically-conscious population.

                        How did they wind up voting in, by comfortable margins, that group of low brow thugs for, what, a decade now? Longer?

                        Is the Israeli left just completely incompetent?

                          Maybe they are silent majority like all the bern bros who voted for tD (and will again in the solitary voting booth).

                            The same way we went hard right after 9/11. When you are in fear (and make no mistake they are) of attack you will follow anyone who vows to protect you. The people got sick of trying to make peace because the attackers never negotiated in good faith so they said screw it and went with the party that wasnt going to negotiate anymore.

                              We settled this continent with a genocide, so we're ones to talk, but the impression I get is the Israelis stole the locals' land and property, the locals got angry and violent so the Israelis stole more land and property and put them on reservations. Under those conditions I'm not exactly sure what "negotiating in good faith" would have meant.

                              There are three solutions. (1) Our way, which is currently considered impolite, (2) Declare both sides incorrigible, take off and nuke the site from orbit, or (3) Enough people there grow up that they can Gandhi it. Or, I suppose, solution (0) More of the same for another millenium or two.
