A lot of outright calls for ethnic cleansing of Arabs from the Israeli citizenry lately.
I think I hinted a year ago that much of the problem stems from the fact that:
Most of the liberal, Westernized Ashkenazi Jews were killed in the Holocaust or were already in America.
Soviet expat Jews, many of whom reactionary right-wing, streamed into America and Israel from the 1970s on and shifted the political climate.
Most of the rest of the Israeli Jews are Sephardi/Mizrahi Jews, heavily steeped in the Middle-Eastern milieu.
To sum up:
5 of the 6-million Israeli Jews are mostly-conservative, either ex-Communist or Middle-Eastern born-and-bred.
Now, because of the geopolitical situation of Israel's region, the only realist political option Israel has is to gradually (some might say insidiously) colonize all the land they can within their putative borders such that the "two-state solution" becomes moot and Israel's internal security improves due to demographic homogeneity (where it matters). This is inevitable as long as Israel and its neighbors are governed and populated by religious conservatives.
TLDR: The hell with all of these savages. Only time will sort them out.
