European and Israeli far right
The article discusses the political and media reactions to the far-right party's victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state election in Germany. This event is considered of limited electoral significance, as the party holds only 16 out of 630 seats in the German parliament. Nonetheless, it sparked considerable controversy due to its occurrence in Germany, the birthplace of Nazism. This reflects the disparity in Western responses to the rise of far-right parties: while in Germany the event is met with concern, in Israel, there is a growing shift towards extreme right-wing policies after a long period during which right-wing parties have dominated Israeli politics. This shift includes Arab alliances with ruling Zionist parties. The article also notes that Israeli opposition politicians like Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eizenkot are aligning with Netanyahu in their stance towards Palestine and Iran. Furthermore, a wave of political extremism, including Arab parties within Israel, is moving in the same direction, despite some Arab parties attempting to maintain political balance. The article concludes that attempts to balance political forces within Israel will not halt the slide towards the far right, reflecting a deep crisis in the political and social fabric of Europe and Israel.
