Funny how the points in your middle paragraph could just as easily be applied to America.
Israeli zionist fascism is the result of Liberal democracy both in Israel, America, and beyond.

Israeli fascism is not a result of democracy…it’s a colonial project born from the pre-war mentality of Europe and the preceding centuries of monarchy and despotism. It is, fundementally, anti-democratic.
Israel and the US are indeed different. The US, regardless of its problems with its right-wing and the right’s support of Israel, is not an apartheid state and there is meaningful internal opposition to the far-right in the US (unlike Israel, or Russia, or China).
You’re trying to conflate democracy and capitalism, which really makes me question your motives.
You’re putting words in my mouth. I am not claiming democracy led to Israeli zionism. I am claiming that liberalism did.
Make no mistake: I am not attempting to conflate democracy and capitalism. I am making the claim that the two are incompatible. If anyone is trying to conflate capitalism and democracy, it is you.
I’m not going to get into the weeds with you about how democratic Israel is, but it’s clear to anyone with a basic understanding of liberalism that Israel is indeed a country based on liberalism values.

The values espoused in Israeli basic law are textbook liberalism:
Israel is a textbook liberal state, and its withering down to fascism has already been predicted by leftist theory. Make a venn diagram of the values espoused in Israel’s basic laws and values promoted in classic liberalism, and you have a circle.
Try to understand the article i referenced earlier, which is the crux of my argument. Liberalism enables fascism.
Ummmm, those are all right-wing tenants, not left-wing. Are you using the US definition of liberal like Democrats or other left-wing idealogies, or are you using it like Australians where it is closer to Republicans?
