What is so significant about this video is not the last line spoken by one of the Israeli racists: “Every Arab must get a bullet in the head.”
No, what is so significant is that here the crowd is chanting that “Bibi” (Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister) “betrayed us.” Netanyahu was elected on an appeal to racism. He represents the right wing of Israeli politics. And here he is being called, in effect, a traitor.
In other words, this sinister force of Israeli fascism is growing. And don’t expect “Bibi” to stand up to it. On the contrary, he will make further concessions.
This is part and parcel of the rise of racism and outright fascism (Islamic State, for example) globally.
US capitalism is somewhat more stable than elsewhere. That means that such forces won’t get as wide a base here, but we must not think we are immune from this.
