  1. Remember, Herzog comes from a Labour background, so doesn't mind that the far left courts rule, not the democratically elected government. In the US, judges and justices are either elected by the people, or appointed by those the people elect. In Israel, a committee of former judges appoint judges and justices. In the US, the Supreme Court can only overturn legislation if it is unconstitutional. In Israel, the courts only need to feel they are "unreasonable", a highly subjective measure. In the US, the president appoints the AG, who serves at his pleasure. In Israel, the same judicial committee appoints the AG, and the PM has no say in who it is. In Israel, this committee also appoints judicial "advisors", who have the final say in everything the government does. In Israel, there are no juries, and there is a 98% conviction rate, as judges and prosecutors collude. All the Israeli public wants, and voted for, was a justice system just a little bit more like ours, or at least like Canada's.

  2. It's long past time to free Israel of arab occupation.

  3. That isn't happening. But, what is happening is US tax dollars are going to fund arab terrorists, murdering innocent women and children.

  4. I'd suggest Caroline Glick's book.

  5.  @Muttinchopsforevermore  Why do you call Israel by the foreign invader's name?

  6. Funny how the only apartheid is in areas the arab occupiers control, and prevent the indigenous people even visiting.

  7. Israel deserves to have a just judiciary, instead of the self appointing judicial autocrats who now rule.

  8.  @willcox4561  Nice try, but it is written that Ishmael died in the wasteland, as a small child, and never fathered children. It's interesting that the Arab, a literate people, had no stories of descent from Abraham prior to Mohammed.

  9. Jews come from Judea, and Arabs from Arabia. It is very obvious that it was the Arabs, who stole Jewish land, not the other way around. The only occupation is by those Arabs, who drove the Jews from their homes and fields in 1948. Learn a little history.

  10. She agrees with Hitler and other racists.

  11. No need for judicial reform in the US. US presidents get to name their own AG, judges and justices don't appoint their own replacement, and the Supreme Court can only overturn legislation if it is unconstitutional. In Israel, judges and justice appoint their own replacements, all prosecutors, and judicial 'advisors', who can block any government action they want, needing no reason. Also, if the courts find a law "unreasonable" they can overturn it, and anything right of communism is unreasonable to them.
