The Dangerous Rise of Israeli Ultra-Nationalists | Decade of Hate | Vice News ▶️

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.
