"Israelis show very widespread support for a racist state"
"Quotable Israeli historian Ilan Pappe talks about why Israeli society is moving further to the right and what it means for the Knesset leading up to the 2026 elections."
Israeli society is moving further to the right, with broad public endorsement of policies that entrench racial discrimination. Political trends reveal normalization of exclusionary rhetoric and legislation targeting Palestinians and non-Jewish minorities. Right-wing and ultra-nationalist factions are consolidating influence in electoral politics and within the Knesset, shaping coalition dynamics ahead of the 2026 elections. The growing majorities behind nationalistic platforms threaten democratic norms, equal citizenship, and civil liberties. Social polarization and legal changes amplify institutional discrimination and reduce avenues for redress for marginalized communities.
