(18.1.2017) Republican Party consultant Arthur Finkelstein was the one who let Benjamin Netanyahu in on the secret: It’s about being Jewish, not Israeli. He told Netanyahu that there is only one question to pose in Israel: “Are you more Israeli or more Jewish?” If the answer is “Israeli,” he elaborated, the person facing you is a leftist. If the answer is “Jewish” he’s on the right side of the map. That’s the entire story, said Finkelstein.
