"Juvenile name-calling is rampant in Israeli politics. Once ad hominem attacks are acceptable and routine, it is difficult to prevent them from becoming increasingly vicious and from boiling over into real incitement. Both the Left and the Right have their own ways of personally delegitimizing the other side, rather than dealing honestly with its arguments. Even in today's relatively unified atmosphere, the Right tends to accuse the Left of selling out the country, while the Left accuses the Right of destroying the prospects for peace."
Huh. What do you know.
