Popis:	DRAMATIC TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE ISRAELI political system and culture have taken place in the past decade. The introduction of internal party primaries and the direct election of the prime minister have contributed to decreasing party discipline among Knesset members, growing tension between the government and legislature, a dramatic decline in the parliamentary representation of the two major parties, and an increase in the representation of parties based on group identities and interests. These parties represent contesting visions of Israeli nationhood that directly challenge the traditional Zionist political culture, which has been hegemonic since before the birth of the state. Many of these changes have been attributed to "Americanization."
