This particular government is the worst we've ever had. It was chosen by Netanyahu, who, you might be surprised, isn't at all a fascist, barely right winged. He is an opportunist. He took control of a mid to right winged party, one that made peace with Egypt. He realised his only way to gain votes (and later to get out of prison) was to outdo the right winged parties and 'steal' their voters. This made him good friends with the ultra orthodox and extreme right wingers. His party has become him, anyone still in his own party are idiots and imbeciles, none of who can operate a gevernment. Netanyahu is the scum of the earth, he has a government made of the worst our country has to offer. He is changing the laws and the governing system to get out of jail and become another Erdoğan/ bolsonaro /Putin, and just stay in power forever, stealing money from everyone as he has been doing for decades.
And idealist right winger would at least have a plan other than to save his own career and money while destroying the country and its institutions.
A politician who surrounds himself with fascists is a fascist, even if he's not a true believer. That's why I don't hesitate to call Trump fascist even though his motivations are clearly all about enriching himself and stroking his ego.
I'm OK with that definition too. Definitely not better than a fascist, arguably worse.
