The post-Oslo Israeli populist radical right in comparative perspective: Leadership, voter characteristics and political discourse

This paper analyses transformations within the Israeli radical right in the era of the "Oslo war": Palestinian terror attacks which began as a response to the Oslo agreements. Those terror activities have reshaped the Israeli political right wing, which transferred itself to what we call the "new" Israeli right. Politically and socially the "new right" became similar to right-wing movements that emerged in Europe in the nineties. The paper examines the "new", focusing on its leadership, discourse and sympathizers' public opinion.
