Hasn’t there been a left-utopian influence in modern Israel since the beginning? Not picking a fight here, genuinely curious.
Of course. Israel was founded by very idealistic youngsters, and whatever was fresh and unproven, they believed in. As time went by, the Soviet Union collapsed. Socialistic governments stagnated. But the idealists still clung to power, in defiance of reason and facts. They’re still there, brain lodged firmly between two lower cheeks, still bitterly clinging to outdated idiocy.
