9. True, Smotrich is not a Likudnik but he's in their cabinet as Finance Minister and he's Rightwing, unlike us DU-ers.

In 2005, the ISA (Shin Bet) arrested Smotrich who was in possession of 700 liters of gasoline and suspected of participating in an attempt to blow up Ayalon Highway. He was held in jail for three weeks but not charged after refusing to speak.



In 2006, Smotrich helped organize the "Beast Parade" as part of protests against a gay pride parade in Jerusalem.




In the US, Libertarians swear and avow that they are not Republicans, but somehow they seem to vote in line with GOP interests.
