"We don't want anything to do with what we're seeing in Israel. The racism, the extremism, the deterioration from democracy and liberal values."

Neither Ms Shochat nor the tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrating on the streets of Israel for the past two months can necessarily claim to represent a majority opinion, but this is a moment of doubt and anxiety for the Jewish state's supporters abroad, as they watch Israelis coming to blows.
