From Ethan Bronner: All Rightists in Israel are "centrists"

Here, Bronner and Kirshner explains to American readers that in fact all rightists and fascists in Israel are misunderstood "centrists": "She was born to a hawkish Zionist family that opposed any territorial compromise in the name of peace. But along with many members of Likud, she shifted toward the center in the past decade and ultimately helped set up Kadima in the center. She now argues fervently that Israel’s future security depends on the establishment of a stable Palestinian state. Mr. Netanyahu, 59, was prime minister from 1996 to 1999 and stayed in Likud when Mr. Sharon and others formed Kadima, although he considers himself a pragmatist and says he, too, would like to form a centrist governing coalition."
