Israel on brink of constitutional crisis

The Nationalists are mostly authoritarian tyrants, we know where that got us when this was the going-around thing in the latter 1930s.

Nuttin' Yahoo is also facing corruption charges. Will this Little Donny FINALLY face justice, and be booted out of office, as well?

Looks like BiBi is finally being retired.

"JERUSALEM — A diverse coalition of Israeli opposition parties said Sunday that they have the votes to form a unity government to unseat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving leader and its dominant political figure for more than a decade.

Under their agreement, reached after weeks of negotiations spearheaded by centrist opposition leader Yair Lapid, former Netanyahu defense minister and ally Naftali Bennett will lead a power-sharing government. WP

More right wing nonsense, just in another country. The irony of those who've long suffered under tyranny becoming the tyrants is staggering. Religion is such bullshit.

Lapid is a decent fellow, mostly a Centrist. Bennett, however, is further to the Right than Bibi was. I guess the only thing they could agree upon was that Bibi was an insufferable asshole in the Trump mold. I don't trust Bennett as far as I could throw him.

Netanyahu fires defense minister who urged a halt to overhaul of Israel's judiciary

https://www.npr.org/2023/03/26/11661...r-yoav-gallant

Authoritarians are really, really hard to get rid of. Now he's overhauling the judiciary to make it even harder. Yet some on this forum just love authoritarians in this country.

Netanyahu agrees to pause judicial overhaul following widespread unrest in Israel
The proposal by Netanyahu’s hard-right coalition in January would threaten the independence of the Supreme Court and limit judges’ powers, according to critics.

Conservatives love chaos. It keeps them in power.

A small coalition member said they would pull support if he paused. Bluff called, or well they do it? It would topple the government....

[Chicks]

Why Netanyahu paused the march of tyranny and nobody who loves Israel can rejoice yet
Had he not fired Gallant, the PM would right now be enacting his key autocratic edict. His overreach merely compelled a timeout, unless Herzog can somehow find a path to salvation

Nasty, totalitarian "conservatives". Whell's World.

[donquixote99]

All justified because, well, the Arabs are the enemy.
