> Ben-Gvir is loathed by 90% of Israeli society...Trump still has 33% approval

Maybe that 90% number is for Tel Aviv. In national polls, they both have roughly the same approval rating.

I have a long-held feeling with Trump that his most ardent haters don't hate his specific policies, merely that he's so gauche about it, that he has no class.

I have no doubt that Ben-Gvir has a similar segment of haters in Israel. They want the same things, but they don't want to do it in the style of a leering hooligan fishing for a fistfight.
