This has every indication that there is something deeply wrong in Israel politics.
That the MOST right wing element declares the less (but still very) right wing element to be Nazis - in pictures -

Do you know of any other strangely new manifestations of extremes of right wing behaviours in Israel?

The images were posted to a Facebook account created the same day under the name Natan Zoabi, Channel 10 reported.
A caption accompanying the montage called them, “The anti-Semites who oppose a Jewish state in the land of Israel.”
According to information in the Facebook account profile, “Zoabi” is a resident of Tel Aviv and a graduate of Tel Aviv University, and claims to be employed by the IDF.
Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch asked Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein to launch an investigation into the incident, calling it “severe.”
