    IDF reservists actually took the step of protesting against the government over recent proposed changes to weaken their Supreme Court. (Source)

    Not what you’d expect “a bunch of fascists” to do. Nearly every Israeli citizen has mandatory military service.

    Surely you’re not labelling an entire population based on the actions of their government?

      It turns out you don’t need to be a card carrying true believer in fascism to be a fascist. All you gotta do is stand by while the fascists do what they want.

      Protesting is nice, i guess, but characterizing the Israeli government as “fascist” is pretty fair.
