The Western leaders are allying themselves with these extremists. Far-right religious and ethnonationalist extremism is fundamentally incompatible with any liberal democratic regime. We are going back to the 1920s.
Even if #BenjaminNetanyahu may not be an extremist himself - the jury is out on that one! - his political survival depends on people like #ItamarBen_Gvir - who is the minister to whom those police report - and #BezalelSmotrich - who is doing his best - or worst if you prefer - to keep any humanitarian aid from going through the port of #ashdod . He cannot overrule them and stay in office - unlike #RishiSunak who was able to sack #SuellaBraverman and remain in office.
