Do know that Israel has a multitude of parties and really not a majority. However, Netanyahu does support the extremists to maintain his position.
Let's not lose sight of where we started out this conversation with fuagf stating that "it suggests a theocratic (Perry,Palin, puffstash) type effort is not real popular much anywhere .. "
The theocracy supported by the CONS is not popular among the majority of Americans. In Israel the theocons are controlling the gov't, theocrats are frowned upon here in the USA. They are held up to ridicule by fuagf by pointing out Palin, Perry, et al.
In Israel the theocrat head bangers are holding the gov't together. In the USA that would frighten people to death that there's no separation of synagogue/state.
