Labor's decision to join Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition is a remarkable turn of events that demonstrates the strength of Israeli society in the face of great danger emanating from Iran and its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah.
Isabel Kershner writes that the decision eliminates the prospect of a "hawkish" government of right-wing parties. Since she never uses the word dovish to describe Israeli political parties such as Meretz, her terminology betrays her prejudice.
IK also uses an odd term to describe those who marched through the town of Umm al-Fahm in northern Israel on Tuesday. They are "far-rightists." Not just rightists, mind you, but far-rightists. Viewing the event objectively, stripped of this pejorative term, one can hardly understand how a non-violent march casts one as an authoritarian extremist, as "far-rightist" implies.
