Elective Dictatorship? Is this by way of a polite description and calling Israel a state bordering on Apartheid and Fascism in fear of being accused of being antisemitic? Jews in and out of Israel are protesting while Netanyahu is in the process of creating a unitary executive and doing away with the separation of powers. The Knesset has said yes to a specialized Domestic National Guard trained to focus on Israeli Palestinians and anti-government protestors, an SS force. Compared with Israel Palestine is UNITED nation.
The Israeli newspaper Arab 48 reports that on Monday, the Israeli parliament or Knesset passed the article removing the power of review from Israeli courts on grounds of “reasonability” in light of the country’s basic laws. The measure passed 64-0 in the 120-seat body, with the far right wing coalition of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu unanimously in favor and the opposition having left the chamber in protest. The country was thrown into chaos.
