Ben Gvir and Smotrich: Religious Fanatics or Fascist Nationalists?

The newly elected rulers of Israel have been widely criticized for their hijacking of a sovereign government for their own personal ideology. What people don't know is what exactly that ideology is. It's not Judaism.

In light of Israel's recent elections, this episode presents the history of fascist influence on classic and contemporary Zionism.
