Svensk media travar på

Så var det där med “höger” och “vänster”. Svensk media tvekar aldrig att brännmärka allt som deras (ofta svårt vänstergängade) reportrar av någon anledning inte gillar som ”extremhöger”. Ur dagens medieflod kan man exempelvis fiska upp att Likudpartiet (SvD 090316, DN 090316) i Israel skall bilda en regeringskoalition med “extremhögern” i form av det nationalistiska missnöjespartiet Yisrael Beitenu.

Detta är dock partiets program:

• A belief that the “land for peace approach” is fundamentally flawed – only a “land for land – peace for peace” approach, in which both parties compromise and commit to certain terms, can succeed
• The exchange of land highly populated by Arabs for land with Jewish settlements as a viable proposal for solving the Israel-Palestinian conflict
• The complete cutting of ties with Gaza and its separation from the West Bank
• The desire to see the introduction of a new citizenship law that would require citizens to affirm their loyalty to the State and readiness to serve in the army or in the National Service in order to be eligible for any state benefits
• The Maintenance of the Jewish character of the State as a balance of tradition, Zionism, modernity and tolerance as a political and educational imperative
• The easing of the conversion process for those who wish to join the Jewish people
• The adoption of the Norwegian Law, which would require Cabinet Ministers to give up their Knesset seat in order to reduce the role of partisan politics when deciding policy
• More funding for education, more training and higher salaries for teachers, and a tougher response to violence in the schools
• More funding for healthcare
  Increasing the police force so that it can reduce crime effectively
• Stiffer penalties for moving violations and more traffic police to enforce the law
• The clean-up of our sites of natural beauty and the passing of legislation for energy conservation
• The desire to see Israel join the European Union and Nato

Snälla, alla ni världsreportrar och andra som skriver om detta, svara på följande: Med undantag för punkten om hårdare straff och fler poliser, var finns det typiskt “högra” i detta? Jag tycker snarare det ser ut typisk socialdemokratisk/socialliberal mer-till-allt-politik...
