Israel/Palestine

and the ultra orthodox parties have way too much power in the Knesset. I think a big chunk of this is due to the threshold of getting seats in the Knesset is way too low. Not to mention that not too long ago parties like Otzma Yehudit would have been banned for being like the Kach party. It is a fascist party IMHO. Along with the Judeo-fascist parties of Noam, and National Religious Party–Religious Zionism parties. The latter two using Judaism like the christo-fascists do here in the US.
The National religious party and Noam have a total of 8 mandates in the Knesset, but because of how Bibi crafted his coalition, those 8 votes, along with the 6 from Otzma hold the power in the coalition. Without them his coalition falls apart, and they have zero power under just about any other coalition government.

I know Israeli knows all about this, being a citizen of Israel. But this is more of general information to everyone else.
