Protesters storm Israeli military bases after soldiers detained for alleged abuse of Palestinian prisoners

Far-right lawmaker Zvi Sukkot appeared to be among those rioting after at least nine soldiers were detained on suspicion of “severe abuse of a detainee.”
This is illustrative of why I have no faith in Israel to actually behave as a liberal democracy the way its allies pretend it is.
It's not just that they temporarily have a far-right administration as part of some cycle between liberalism and conservativism, the population itself is overwhelmingly far right and supports apartheid. The only thing that upsets them about what's happening in Gaza is that the Israeli government clearly doesn't care about getting the hostages back. The wholesale slaughter of innocent people does not bother most Israelis in the least, many of them see it as a positive.
There is no internal opposition to the far right in Israel, and the country should be geopolitically categorized the same as we categorize Russia, China or any other hardcore authoritarian state. It's not a democracy.
If you see a Nazi, say "nazi".
In a more just world they'd be treated like Milosevic's Serbia.
Funny how the points in your middle paragraph could just as easily be applied to America.
Israeli zionist fascism is the result of Liberal democracy both in Israel, America, and beyond.

Israeli fascism is not a result of democracy...it's a colonial project born from the pre-war mentality of Europe and the preceding centuries of monarchy and despotism. It is, fundementally, anti-democratic.
Israel and the US are indeed different. The US, regardless of its problems with its right-wing and the right's support of Israel, is not an apartheid state and there is meaningful internal opposition to the far-right in the US (unlike Israel, or Russia, or China).
You're trying to conflate democracy and capitalism, which really makes me question your motives.
