Israel elections: Far-right candidates hope to secure majority

Israel is set to hold its fifth election in four years - and far-right politicians could end-up as kingmakers.
Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hoping to secure enough seats to form a governing coalition.
That might lead to Itamar Ben Gvir of the far-right Religious Zionism alliance to become a powerful mainstream force.

Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith reports from West Jerusalem.

There is an interesting article published in the Mondoweiss news outlet ( a publication i donate to) about the rise of the far right in Israel and the Apartheid policies that Israel has been embracing.

The article describes a survey of American Jews and their support for Israel and illustrates that the more Israel swings to the right and further entrenches Apartheid policies, the less likely American Jews, especially young American jews are to express support for Israel.
