"demographic shifts mean the Labour Ashkenazi old guard is less politically important than Sephardim and Mizrahim who were expelled from Arab states in living memory and are therefore very hardline on the Palestinian issue. This is incidentally part of the problem with the Settler movement; it's now overwhelmingly Mizrahi. Ben Gvir, for instance, is Iraqi. So both the "settler colonialist" accusation starts to wither because these are people who never left the Middle East, and there are immediate family histories of being expelled from Arab states."

He is a non-practicing Jew in California. His family was forced out of Europe roughly the 30s. They moved to a village of similar Jewish people in Mexico where he was born, his parents moved to the USA when he was little.
He's generally even handed about the situation, but very well informed. He doesn't think Bibi ouster would result in a noticeable difference in Israeli security policy.
