I've been to Israel and know what you are saying. Most people I met in Tel-aviv are secular jews (and arabs) and really have a liberal mindset. Such a great vibe as well.
The problem of moderates (which I am part of in my country) is that they don't like to speak up or enter discussions with the extremist or crazies.
So those people speak unopposed while we stand on the sides just shaking our heads, and little by little (much faster now with internet) they attract followers.
If you like history you'll find these kind of social setup in many places, but most notoriously (Godwin's law, I know) in early 1930s Germany, where Hitler and the Nazi party were seen as extremist, clownish, etc... until suddenly they were in power and it was too late for people to fight them.
Moderates unite?
