    I hate what Israel is doing as much as anyone, but it is not fascist. Genocidal, theocratic, racist, and all around awful, but not fascist. Fascism has very specific characteristics. It could certainly become fascist if the right consolidates power, eliminates the independent judiciary, eliminates competing political parties, crushes the free press, and bans speech critical of the government, represses women, embraces anti-intellectualism, among other things.

      Oh ok, if they’re only genocidal, racial supremacist, expansionist apartheid state that’s fine to ally with them. You fucking idiot.
