Funny thing is how few critics recognize that Sacha Baron Cohen's (often very funny) comedy expresses Israeli Right's worldview. E.g., "Borat" was one long Polish Joke about those Slavic goyishe kop peasants, while "Dictator" was pure Islamophobia. http://takimag.com/article/comedy_that_never_forgets_steve_sailer/print#axzz5LMSDQmRl … https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1018610199375106053 …

He might fall under the Netanyahu Right in Israel, but that’s basically analogous to mainstream Republicans in the US.

Bibi strikes me as being to the right of pretty much any Republican out there. You've got a wall for one.
-
That’s because the public is much further right than he, and Bibi wants to stay in power. And the wall was built in response to regular suicide bombings, which couldn’t be ignored. He talks very big, but in practice he’s a cuckservative/neocon, more or leas.

Crikey. I know the settler lot are very staunch but thought they were outliers. I have no problem with walls, it's just that 'conservatives' the world over seem to get very squeamish about them.

Living here, in the current situation, it’s harder to deny reality than it is for most Americans (&Europeans). But there’s a saying here, Thelma goes “if you vote Left, you get Left, but if you vote Right, you also get Left.” There’s a very deep swamp that needs draining here too

We have denied reality and are all playing chicken with the consequences of denying it.

How great is it when the people you are mocking make you famously wealthy? I'm going to have to re-evaluate this guy.
