Reply to comment by analhunter_RIPyoass in Israeli activists protesting Moshe Koppel, founder of the Kohelet Forum - the think tank behind Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul - while he spoke at the East Hill Synagogue in Englewood today by Artane_33

They are protesting overhauls of the government that make the executive vastly stronger for no other purpose than to prevent Bibi from being held accountable for corruption.

that’s one aspect among a couple other changes. they also prevent the supreme court from overruling laws/bills that the knesset has passed. israeli politicians have been complaining for a while now that the lawmakers who have been elected by a majority shouldn’t be bogged down by people who they say are a elite minority that don’t represent the populace. they want a greater say in selecting judges like we do in the us.

for what’s it worth, i think netanyahu will back down and the US will commend israel for being the good guys as usual and the occupation and apartheid will continue, business as usual.
