It's worth noting that many of what Likud voters today deem as "left wing" was actually done by the Likud in the past (like the human rights base law [1]).
Essentially, when you actually gain power and have to take responsible action, you see that the right wing biblical fantasies can't end well for the county in reality.
The problem today is that many of those right wingers who are also religious fundamentalists are now in power, and they care not about this world but about the next [2], so they're willing to make the sacrifice.

- invalidname 3y agoExactly. Likud PMs gave territories and signed peace accords. When people complain that both parties are exactly alike I groan. That's "good government". People make reasonable decisions which are the same in almost all cases, just some nuanced differences but the general direction is based on consensus. What we have now isn't right wing. It's far right fascists and autocrats who are holding the Likud party like a puppeteer.
