This Was Always the Plan

According to Politico, “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday his government intends to move ahead on contentious plans to change the country’s judicial system after talks aimed at finding a compromise solution appeared to be crumbling. The government’s plans to overhaul the judiciary plunged Israel into one of its worst domestic crises ever earlier this year. Negotiations between the government and opposition parties somewhat alleviated the crisis with attempts to find a middle ground over proposed changes to the country’s justice system.”

Of course, he is. It was always the plan. The only reason Netanyahu backed down in the first place was to take the heat off the situation while pretending to negotiate. I don’t know what idiot Israelis were thinking when they re-elected a criminal to be prime minister. Did they really think their mass protests would stop the country’s slide into Jewish fascism? All their protests were merely a bump in the road to pacify the masses. Do you think those same people will rise up in the streets again? Do you think there will be the same boycotts by government workers and the military? Do you think the passion to stop the criminal prime minister will be the same? Nope! None of this will happen again. Protesters will meekly shrug their shoulders and move on. This is how democracies die — no one cares. Oh, well. People get precisely the government they deserve and desire. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
