Israel's Far-Right Problem

Benjamin Netanyahu is a name known around the world. From Israel's strikes on Iran to its ongoing campaign in the Gaza Strip, it's his face on every headline, his quotes in every analysis, his decisions that supposedly shape the Middle East.

Yet despite all of this, precious little attention is paid to the coalition partners who hold up Netanyahu's government, which is far from universally loved, even at home.

These are not garden-variety conservatives arguing about tax rates. These are men who believe they're on a divine mission to trigger the end times. They want to demolish the Alaksa Mosque, Islam's third-holiest site, and build the Third Temple in its place, and act they believe will bring about the Messiah and the Final Judgment.
