  1. Court reform is needed to make Israel more democratic, not less. Nowhere in Israeli law is the court allowed to overturn laws, as Israel has no constitution by which to measure laws. But, about 30 years ago, the courts, seeing the country was moving away from its Ashkenazi controlled, soviet style government, towards a fairer, more equal society. This would not do, for the far left, self appointing courts. So, they started overturning laws, based upon their own ideas of "reasonableness", and enacting laws, without legislation. Since the chief justice gets to pick which five justices, out of eleven, that sit on any panel reviewing a law, they can opt for the justices they know will overturn it. Currently, judges and prosecutors are appointed by a panel of other judges, and members of the Israeli bar association. These are always people who side with the left, and usually are children of other judges. It is a very nepotistic system. Democratically elected officials, and the people, have no say in who is a judge or prosecutor. All the court reform, the nepo babies with connections, are fighting against would do is let democratically members of the Knesset, from both the government and opposition, choose who is on the committee choosing judges and prosecutors. Require the full panel of the high court be seated (not just a select five), to overturn a law, and give the Knesset the right to override the overturning, with a majority of the Knesset.

  4. Working against the need, to make one's country more democratic, is not courage, it is cowardly entitlement.

  5. The only way to do that, is take back some of the power, the courts have illegally taken for themselves.

  6. The people of Israel voted for court reform, because they love democracy, and want a fair country. The entitled, who have always had more proteksia, than others, are upset by the idea of true justice, not one that always favors them. That is why they lie in the press, and say making a country more democratic, makes it less democratic. Lt. Gen. Halutz is not just a retired officer, he has been very active in politics, in the now defunct Kadima party. He benefits from having autocratic friends, that do him favors, on the court, and is not an impartial interviewee. Like the January 6 insurrectionists here, he can't handle the fact the politicians he supported lost so badly. He has been one of the driving forces behind the lies and propaganda, against reforms needed to make the country more democratic.

  8. Trying to live in your own homeland, despite the violent invaders, is not immoral. It is the arab invaders who commit immoral acts, by killing innocent people.

  9. Your sad statistics are very biased. Most of the arab invaders, who die, die at the hands of other arab invaders.

  11.  @cfmpam498230  The arabs invaded the Jews land. The Jews are like Ukraine, the arabs are exactly like the Russians, used similar tactics, and fight side by side to commit genocide.

  12.  @madsleonardholvik3040  And yet, trying to stymie democracy is exactly what the protestors do.

  13. First, there are no crimes against the arab occupiers, only by them. Second, the reforms are needed to make the country more democratic. These deluded mutineers are trying to keep an autocratic, self appointing court in power. As it stands now, there is not justice from the extremely biased courts, who overturn democratically passed laws based upon their own feelings.

  14.  @esobed1  The arabs stole the land they are occupying, with the Jordanian army at their back. The Jews deserve reparations, for all the land the arabs have stolen.
