1. Hello! I have a random question about Israeli politics

It's all pretty random brain farts, so it might be more than one question.

Why are there so many bat-shit.crazy extremists in the Knesset? Not as bad as US politics, but bad enough. Is it because the multiparty system is just too fractured to work effectively, or was too much power given to religious folk from the start? The extremists would be entertaining if it was like.here and they rarely get further than the back benches, but in Israel they've got power and that's not good

Here's one of our bat-shit politicians talking about marriage equality. It's super funny. Maybe one day everyone will be able to laugh at powerless extremists in Israel
