'Can it really be that a nation is powerless to stop a leader bent on destroying his country to save himself? That thought is almost too bleak to contemplate.'

From the article:

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration believes Israel’s far-right government has most likely abandoned its divisive plan to overhaul the country’s judiciary, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now motivated to come up with an alternative able to win a broad-based consensus, a senior administration official said.

Netanyahu announced Monday that he was postponing a vote on the proposal, which critics warn would weaken the judiciary and remove a vital check on executive power.

Fearing the plan would push the country toward autocracy, Israelis flooded the streets in protest and took part in a general strike. With Netanyahu's retreat, the strike ended, but the protests continue. The White House seemed to be relieved by an outcome that gives Netanyahu time to devise a more tenable substitute that might defuse escalating tensions.

: Stop alla riforma giudiziaria.
Per i palestinesi restano i tribunali militari, determinazioni amministrative senza accusa e processo, omicidi extragiudiziali, occupazione, apartheid...
Viva la democrazia.

"Le carceri israeliane detengono 971 detenuti amministrativi, il numero più alto di prigionieri senza processo in 20 anni."

La quasi totalità di chi riempie le piazze per la "democrazia" non ha mai protestato per questo schifo 8purtroppo uno tra i tanti).

Things in Israel are getting worse. From the article:

The defense minister, Yoav Gallant, said on Saturday night that the judicial overhaul posed a security threat to Israel. Military reservists have refused to sign up for duty and many more have threatened to do the same. Israel's consul general in New York resigned in protest.

Demonstrations are sweeping across Israel protesting an effort by the government to overhaul the country’s judicial system. In response to the firing, protestors swarmed the streets of Tel Aviv and started a highway bonfire. In Jerusalem, protestors broke through a police barricade outside of Netanyahu's home. Trade unions were calling for a general strike and universities were cancelling classes. Some 500,000 protestors took to the streets.
