Step one of a programme to (1) limit judicial/constitutional review of Laws (2) appoint cronies as Justices (3) limit powers to prosecute corrupt politicians.
Checks and balances, and the separation of powers, would be weakened, strengthening the executive and legislature vs the judiciary.
The protesters think the government will then screw their rights and freedoms.
The Army seems to support the protesters, the police does not.
I disagrewe with the analysis.. Teh cronies heading up judicial review want absolute final power... the cronies that make up their parliment likewise want absolute power.
BOTH solutions are a failure as they wind up with one side having the final say and still no constitution... They should be arguing for a constitution, anything less is just corruption from 2 different ends.
@freemo @Akshay @realcaseyrollins Israel has forgotten how democracy works. For ALL of the people. Not just the gentried classes. Not just the “most Jewish”. Everyone who lives there.
@aaron @Akshay @realcaseyrollins
Im not sure they ever knew to be honest... israel is foubded on the very idea that genocide is justice. Thry never wanted a country that served its people, because it cant even define its people in a way that isnt wrong from thr get go.
@freemo @Akshay @realcaseyrollins there was equality written into it at the beginning. It didn’t last long. It’s certainly gone now for sure.
@aaron @Akshay @realcaseyrollins
Equality will never thrive in a coubtry that is fubdamentally against equality in its very birth. Even more so when the need for that inequality exists to this day.
@freemo @Akshay @realcaseyrollins the Palestinians were meant to be a part of Israeli society in the beginning. But that never really happened.
