Amir's perspective: Israel will not collapse. It will not break into civil war. It will continue to be a fractious and chaotic country filled with highly-opinionated people who fight with each other, and then share arak and chamin and cholent and falafel. Per NTEB By Geoffrey Grider Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday brushed aside President Biden’s last-minute plea and oversaw the passage of a major judicial reform law ‘Reasonableness Act’ that limits the ability of the country’s courts to strike down government decisions. There is big change happening in Israel right now, and it’s being led and championed by Israel’s longest-serving leader, and the people are….hopping mad. Called the ‘Reasonableness Act’, which sounds a little too much like the ‘Enabling Act’ from pre-war Germany, it passed by a vote of 64-0. What’s next? Some are saying nothing short of civil war. Oy, vey! Israel on the brink. “Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which isin Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 The prophet Isaiah spoke of a time in the last days, where there would be no king ruling on the throne in Israel, but a council of men much like the Knesset system that exists in Israel today. When you get past the headlines and into the pages of scripture, it is there you see what’s actually going on. Israel is preparing themselves to enter into the time of Jacob’s trouble. Netanyahu snubs Biden, limits power of Israeli courts despite protests via so-called ‘Reasonableness Act’ From The NY Post: The measure passed with 64 votes in the 120-member Knesset — in defiance of months of massive protests against the controversial legislation, which opponents fear will move the country away from Western democratic norms of checks and balances among branches of government. Biden had made an unusual last-minute bid for Netanyahu to reconsider, saying hours before the vote, “it looks like the current judicial reform proposal is becoming more divisive, not less. “Given the range of threats and challenges confronting Israel right now, it doesn’t make sense for Israeli leaders to rush this — the focus should be on pulling people together and finding consensus,” Biden insisted Sunday. - Fair Use - Per Times of Israel Former PM Olmert after passage of overhaul bill: We are entering a ‘civil war’ - Fair Use - All I keep thinking is … “out of chaos comes order” and guess who is coming to town (to Israel soon?) and it ain’t Santa Claus … I reckon he will be “Mr. fix it” :whistle: This watcher brings up a good point. Something to keep in mind with Israel is that they have no written constitution, unlike here in the US. Over time their supreme court has taken an increasingly activist role, probably in part because the separation of powers in Israel isn't as clear as it is in many other republics. I wonder how many of these protestors are organic and how many are of the Soros rent-a-mob type. - Fair Use - And Lisa WW65 said I look at it like this. If the White House hates it, then it must be good. LOL - Fair Use -
