From Haaretz, “Despite the heightened police presence and the force used by officers against protesters earlier in the week, over 180,000 Israelis protested the government’s planned judicial overhaul throughout the country on Saturday night, for the ninth week in a row. … At the protest which drew a crowd of as many as 150,000, she addressed Netanyahu and Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who are driving the effort to weaken the judiciary: ‘We are not afraid.’ She stated that the government’s plans ‘are not a reform, they’re a regime change, with a D-9 bulldozer – a blitz,’ and called on Likud Knesset members to work against it. … In addition to the main protest in Tel Aviv, there were demonstrations in about 95 other locations throughout the country, including outside the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, which drew thousands [emphasis added].”
Eh! I’m not sure what these people were thinking when they returned the criminal Netanyahu to office. Did they think by bringing him back that he would cease criming? That he was a reformed criminal? He’s just the next iteration of a dictator that the people willingly brought to power — just like Hitler. How ironic that a Jewish leader should be taking a page from Hitler’s playbook, who also “reformed” the judiciary. I have no doubt that Netanyahu is looking for his Roland Freisler. I guess those oppressed do eventually become the oppressors. This is a real shame because Israel was on my bucket list. So, I guess that will never happen because Israel is about to become a Nazi state.
And you know you’re in trouble when military reservists start protesting. According to The Times of Israel, “Also on Monday, some 300 reservists of the Artillery Corps, including several senior officers, penned a letter to Gallant and Halevi, saying they were joining calls opposing the judicial overhaul. ‘The regime coup will cause Israel to cease to be a democratic state in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and cease to be the state for which we fought for,’ the letter read.” Oh, yeah. There are real f***ing problems when the military recognizes a coup when they see one.
Unsurprisingly, I blame the voters of Israel, just as I blame the voters in America for electing traitor trump and all the lasting consequences we’re living through. (In a democracy, there is no one else to rightfully blame.) This is what happens when stupid humanity takes democracy for granted. All this form of government demands is that a well-informed and interested electorate be engaged in the political process by f***ing voting every time. But no! People are lazy, stupid, and easily distracted. So, what happens? Citizens lose their freedoms because non-voters allow others who don’t want democracy to elect politicians to destroy said form of government. Israel is next. People only seem to be engaged and concerned when it’s already too late, and for Israeli, it is too f***ing late! Do these protesters think they will deter the dictator? Not! Going! To! Happen! Israelis elected the tyrant Netanyahu, and now they are upset he is acting like an autocrat? He was run out of office because of corruption and other illegal activities, yet they welcomed him back. Hmmm. What other notorious criminal was elected to office who destroyed a nation’s democracy? Who was it? The name is on the tip of my tongue? What is his name? Oh, yes! Now I remember. It was Hitler! As I repeatedly say, people get precisely the government they deserve and desire. Oh, well!
