@Nullo Out of curiosity, what sorts of philosophies does a person find in a right-wing Israeli party? It sorta seems like everybody is desperate to associate rabid racism with right-wings. It’s irritating.
fascist ones.
Israel is a profoundly Right Wing, militarised, ultra nationalistic country at de facto war with it’s neighbors, with an apartheid system that would be the envy of any former white South African government. There is an elephant in the room and no-one has noticed. Israel is fascist. It’s a fascist state.
Racism is endemic in soccer universally, a game that has traditionally attracted a working class support base, who’s very emotional well being is dictated by the success of their respective teams, who are of limited financial means and predisposed to venting their class and racial hatred, sometimes violently at Soccer venues. Therefore it comes as no surprise that Israeli soccer fans indulge in exceptionally racist behaviour.
Only in America is soccer a middle class phenomenon, in fact one senator i forget which, led a crusade back in the 1920’s to stem the rising popularity of soccer in America because he feared it would incite Bolshevism, football was promoted on an ideological basis as a more wholesome alternative.
The right wing is economically divisive, agreed? it believes or accepts economic disparity to be the natural order, as opposed to the left who would prefer an economically classless society. Economic disparity creates class conflict, which is further exacerbated by conditions such as the influx of immigrant labour competing for jobs and driving down wages, notwithstanding the cultural differences. Therefore in traditionally right-wing regimes, racism and sectarianism becomes embroiled with class conflict and are of a peculiar intensity.
