Hi People.
In responce to chris wright question:
Israel Shamir is not known for his adherance to the true
facts. A real "postmodernist" ;)

For sure the ex-USSR immigrants have impacts on the shaky
orthodox Jewdeism aspects of Israel.

However, the Palestinians cannot reasonably expect from them much
in the near future.

A small minority of the immigrants veared to the left, included
one MP who joined Merets left national socialists who even supported
in public the refusnics....

However, the overwhelming majority of the immigrants from ex-USSR
brough with them a deep racist prejudices that turn most of them to the
right of naZionism.

As things are, the settler colonialist elite and ideology still dominate
the rulling elite and the minds of the non Palestinan working people
of Israe.
