Ben Ari is not a leftist, but he is absolutly not the man that the leftist media says he is.
Before the last election he joined Arie Eldad, that said that all the young jews that accused of "tag-mehir" should die in prison (Chaim made a video about this).
Maybe he is realy think like Chaim, but he is a coward, and that is couse him to say things that a real kahanist will never say.
