There are many claims to be skeptical of in this article; I had to put a disclaimer in the body of my post under the link. That was the first red flag which went up for me as well. The reason I posted it was as an insight to how Israelis view the situation from their Haaretz-reading left. I was reading through many articles in their paper yesterday and this one seemed like the most relatively helpful to better understand the parties in Israel other than the outright bigots and denialists whose motivations are easier to understand.

Edit: I mean the above as in the difference between a proud right-winger who is openly and proudly bigoted who argued they are justified vs those who have convinced themselves that there is no alternative but to go along with the bigots while recognizing the bigotry is not justified. There are clear parallels here in the US of course.
