Why don't you briefly describe what a fascist looks like, what they believe, what they do...? Be specific please.

Apart from Hamas and BDS, which incidentally has nothing to do with the OP, I would say that Mahmoud Darwish is an example of Israeli Arab culture that doesn't promote a Zionist narrative. The problem for me is that I still think that Israel should act like a democratic state and treat all the different narratives of its multi-ethnic population equally. The current Israeli government doesn't do that, to put it mildly.

If the narrative is that Israel has no right to exist, Jews are strangers in their own land & not a people worthy of self-determination, that terror against innocent random Jews is legitimate......then that's not something to be respected at all.

Are you implying that Shaked didn't agree with the content of the article she posted? Little Tich Jul 2016 #28

the content she posted obviously isn't the same as what mondeweiss said 6chars Jul 2016 #29
