Benjamin Netanyahu is a rabid nationalist, not a religious fundamentalist.
- thisislife2 7mo agoIt's the same thing in Israel. Israeli-right nationalism is imbibed with ideas of a Jewish theocratic state, from the religious fundamentalism of the Israeli-right - that is why it religiously discriminates by giving preferential treatment to the Jews and proclaims itself as a "Jewish state".
- azernik 7mo agoIt gives preferential treatment to Jews regardless of their religious practice or lack thereof. Its self-definition as a "Jewish state" is deliberately vague about its definition of "Jewish", and is in practice closer to Western ideas of ethnicity/nationalism than to "religion".
