Israel and Judah

Question

People on the left argue that two camps have emerged in the country: one democratic, liberal camp (“Israel”), and the other messianic, conservative, religious camp (“Judah”). I agree that both camps exist, and that their main representatives are Yesh Atid on the one hand, and Smotrich and the Haredim on the other. My question is: would you define Likud voters, for example, as people who support Smotrich and his ideologies? In other words, besides Israel and Judah, is there another camp that simply goes along with Judah, but is essentially different from it?

Answer

Like any dichotomy, this one is also fairly foolish. It’s convenient for them to label every move they disagree with as messianism and delusion. Even Smotrich himself (and certainly Ben-Gvir) has a very wide variety of supporters, so there’s no point in engaging in such ridiculous generalizations.
