Back in the day, Einstein and several other prominent Jews called herut (the political party that became Likud) Nazis. What’s happening now shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. And that was back on 1948… when actual Nazism was a fresh wound

Israel was once a shining light of the potential of socialism and democracy. Those nationalist terrorists that went on to form likud are the rot that has turned it into what it is.
