The Dangerous Rise of Israeli Ultra-Nationalists | Decade of Hate

2022 was the deadliest year in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories in over a decade – and the violence is only increasing. Israel itself has been in the grips of political turmoil. The country has elected the most right-wing government in its history – which is now actively trying to change the constitution, threatening the fabric of Israel’s democracy. Crucially, the new Minister of National Security has a history of affiliation with extremist organisations – and has literally brandished loaded weapons at Palestinian protesters. This is how these shifts are the result of a decades-long alliance of extremist street thugs and militant West Bank settlers, and the political machinations of Israel’s current Prime Minister –himself indicted on massive corruption charges. But, these moves to the right are being met by equally fierce street protests, fighting desperately to save Israel’s democracy.
