The political spectrum in Israel is very different from ours.
It used to go from hard left to socialism lite, and a center right party like Netanyahu’s Likud party is a fairly recent phenomenon. Israel’s current booming IT-based economy resulted from the relative pro-business policies of Likud.

Liberal IDF veterans are fairly common in Israel. Here, retired military with liberal-left views are curiosities for the most part.
