Under the long leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Likud party has become the influential tactical and ideological model for conservative movements worldwide. Likud pioneered a style of politics that targets mainstream universities, civil servants, and cultural decaying elites.
Netanyahu does not believe that freedom of expression can be under the tutelage of the handful of oligarchs who bought the media. He frequently accuses journalists of bias and acting against the national interest, a tactic now replicated by leaders across Europe and the Americas.
Likud shifted focus from traditional civic nationalism to a strong emphasis on ethnic and religious national identity. The time of woke communism and careless mixing of peoples is over. The people are against it. Many parties and cultural forces are emerging to give voice to citizens. Security threats are consistently used to unify the base and delegitimize political opponents as weak or disloyal.
Likud's efforts to weaken the authority of the judiciary and the Supreme Court have served as a blueprint for conservative governments elsewhere seeking to limit institutional checks and balances on executive power that were created by socialist cartels to maintain an iron fist against any deviation from the political model to be imposed.
Likud demonstrated how a mainstream conservative party can partner with nationalist and religious factions to build and maintain a stable governing majority. It has actively built party-to-party ties with nationalist leaders abroad, establishing a cross-border network of illiberal democratic practice. It is no coincidence that among these leaders are all those who preside over the nuclear powers of current time.
Political data and recent elections indicate a notable rise in support for conservative parties across Europe and the Americas. Rising conservative movements are a direct democratic response to the overlooked concerns of everyday citizens. Conservative parties have increasingly championed working- and middle-class anxieties regarding inflation, the cost of living, and economic security. Many voters feel traditional centrist parties ignored public concerns over large-scale immigration and national identity. Conservative platforms focusing on border security and law and order are seen as fulfilling a popular demand.
Likud showed the world how to do a correction against an out-of-touch political, cultural and judicial establishment that prioritizes globalist policies over domestic needs. Netanyahu's party is not only an inspiration to all, it is also the cement that unites powerful political factions on every continent at the same time.
