In Israels volatile political environment, debating and predicting the outcome of the November election is another way to pass the time during the hot summer days, when most peoples minds are on staying cool, navigating their way through an overcrowded airport for their first post-pandemic trip abroad, or surviving a cost-of-living crisis that is spiralling out of control.Still, even at this early stage of the election campaign, there is at least one alarmingly consistent phenomenon that stands out in the opinion polls: The rise of ultra-religious nationalism, led by unsavory characters who can only be described as bigots with strong fascist leanings.The Religious Zionist party, led by Bezalel Smotrich, which even before the most recent national election had incorporated Itamar Ben Gvirs Kahanist movement Otzma Yehudit, looks likely to more than double its seats in the next Knesset, from its current six to a possible 13.In the Israeli context, where the current prime minister commands a group of no more than 17 MPs out of 120, and the leader he replaced headed a grouping of a mere seven seats, such a result could have an immense impact on the direction of the country in the next few years. When it comes to the Religious Zionist party, this spells bad news for Israels democracy and for relations with Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line.These are early days and the public might be using the polls to send a message to other parties, mainly Likud, that it wants them to move further to the right, closer to Smotrich and Ben Gvirs positions.Nevertheless, it is also an extremely worrying sign that the racist and homophobic language of the latter has been legitimized, and people are unashamed not only to vote for them in what is a secret ballot, but also to openly and unreservedly express support for their repulsive ideas. To make things even worse, the polls have also highlighted that the partys showing at the ballot box would be stronger if Ben Gvir, who is regarded as the more extreme of the two, were its leader, although ideologically the difference between him and Smotrich is paper thin.Both components of the party are oozing with racism and bigotry

The estimated $55 million music market in Israel, like the Middle Eastern countrys comparatively small size, would quantify as the equivalent of a rounding error for a global music company.

Orly Vital spent more than a decade of her adult life trapped in a marriage she wanted to leave. Spousal laws in Israel meant the 44-year-old ultra-Orthodox Jew couldn't divorce her husband without his permission.

The focal point of the November 1 national ballot, which will undoubtedly come up time and time again in election campaigns and debates, will be the Jewish identity of Israel. Recently, a random taxi driver told me, "This year I didn't put the Israeli flag on my car on Independence Day because I feel that the state is escaping me, no longer mine, no longer a state of Jews." 3 View gallery People at campaign rally for Ayelet Shaked's new party The Zionist Spirit (Photo: Yair Sagi) A significant share of the Jewish public fears the state's Jewish majority, and thus its Jewish identity, is growing weaker by the day

The Jewish singer, with her signature dark, thick, wing-tipped eyeliner and big black hair, left us with a legacy of unparalleled music recordings of a voice that sounds like no other. Yet there is now an entire generation that risks growing up without ever hearing of the British phenomenon.
