ethnic nationalism is already pretty horrible (especially when linked
to settler colonialism). It doesn't need to be linked to either
fascism or fundamentalism.

There is, however, a link between Sharon's secular Zionism
(Jabotinsky-type Revisionist Zionism) and old-fashioned fascism. (I
don't think Sharon embraces spiritual beliefs as much as he's a
supremacist asshole.)
