Front page of Israeli newspapers today. The words read 'a black day for Israeli democracy'.

The pages were paid advertisements by the Israeli Hi-Tech Protest movement, a group containing representatives from hi-tech companies including CEOs, venture capital investors, self-employed entrepreneurs and hi-tech employees.

Very promising development in #Israel, but also a reminder that this only came after weeks of protest. I think Israeli #progressives need to be ready to continue to put pressure on the government to protect the judiciary.

For gentiles:

A common refrain we Jews hear is that no one can criticize Israel without being labeled as antisemitic. Here's a podcast of an analysis of Israeli politics. No one calls anyone an antisemite.

For Jews:

Whether you agree or not, this is a thoughtful analysis of the Israeli elections, government and future of Israeli Arab and Palestinian, and disaporatic Jewish relations.

More than 80,000 people turn out in the rain for Tel Aviv protest against Netanyahu government. My question: WHEN there are new elections...what will be different?

Surreal. Sitting now in the middle of #Jerusalem, surrounded with many of my favourite people (at #VanleerInstitute), while a few meters away, the Disappointment Gvnmnt is being sworn in by #Netanyahu. A new challenge for many of us.

I'm watching a live stream of our new government being presented in the #Knesset in #Jerusalem. Watching our legislators shouting at each other reminds me of Pro Wrestling.

Lots of posturing, drama, and indignation.

Right out of Trump's playbook: Bibi plans to change the laws of Israel, so that convicted criminal, Aryeh Deri, can serve as a Member of Knesset. Anyone up for Springtime elections?
