The American Right-Wing is the greatest threat to the survival of the planet. They stand in the way of progress being made to solving global warming.
A close second is the Israeli Right-Wing - http://www.thenation.com/article/172102/triumph-far-right-israel
"The rise of the hard right and the fragmentation of the left are not just isolated phenomena within the political system; they are the result of long-term demographic and social changes that have altered Israeli society in the past couple of decades. The Israel-born secular camp is shrinking, while the number of religious and ultra-Orthodox is on the rise. With immigrants from Russia supporting the right as well, the odds of a centrist candidate becoming prime minister are falling with every election. As a result, the settlers’ most important victories are taking place not on the ground in the West Bank, but within Israel’s institutions. "
Not a good sign. Reminds me a lot of what happened in the US, and what's currently going on in Canada.
