What the hell is Bibi doing in Israel
- Thread starter Jimmy McGill
- Start date
Changing the Judicial system unilaterally, firing Sec of Defense. Basically cutting off democracy while he is pending trial
Yup, he's dismantling the court so they can't stop him from doing what he wants to do.
If he is successful, we should cut all military aid
Jimmy coming with the jokes! I agree FWIW, but I would just cut it now regardless.
To be fair, you would have needed to look for Bibi, or Netanyahu, or judicial. That’s pretty tough.

Another country with a completely out of control right wing. BAU
Mass protests in the streets tonight. Bonfires being lit. Cops scuffling with protestors near Bibi’s residence. I guess we are going to find out how narcissistic Bibi is.

Bibi returning….much like Trump is one of the worst things to happen for Israel.
At least Israel is showing us what will happen if trump is elected so we don’t have to go through this shit. Sadly there are so many idiots who knows what’ll happen.
It's owning the libs so it isn't really a problem.
Bibi, much like Trump, see's himself not so much as a leader, but as an owner instead.
Bibi stepped back from the brink for now. I don’t know if he’s having second thoughts, or seeking a less provocative path to his goal. This really seems to signal some deep changes in Israeli society. The ultra orthodox and the hardliners want this power for a reason
Like in this country, the ultra religious, extreme right wing, is becoming a smaller percentage of the population by the day. If democracy prevails they won’t have much influence.
I’m not sure about this. I heard something today about one of the biggest sources of recent immigration to Israel has been Jews from Russia, who are more conservative. You’ve got a lot of anger building against the ultra orthodox who make up slightly more than 10 percent of the population, and do not serve in the military and are supported by everyone else.
Israel at best has a quasi-constitution to codify their judiciary. For 70+ years, the ruling party (who is duly elected) has power. This has not been a secret. When people vote, they know that the majorities in the Knesset have some control over the judiciary. The recent will of the people should stand for something. Most people there know this and do not want rule by chaos either. Temper tantrums in the street will not solve this. They are also subject to foreign influence and propaganda. These protests will ramp up as time goes on but it is not a new phenomenon.
