Israel - a lot going on

Thank you for the post. IMO, as long as Israel keeps electing Beni the hater and crumudgeon, nothing will change. Turns out Israel's "democratic" nation smells more and more like a Putin dictatorship with the same tired right wing agenda at work. (Perpetuation of Power).

Except now its: Perfectly fine for the elected leader, his wife, kid and buddies to rob and steal at a whim.

Court finds them guilty? NO PROBLEM, just use Political office to change the court to allow for the corruption.

So very trumpian. So very undemocratic and corrupt.

But Bennie knows whats best...................FOR HIM.

 

I just finished watching the fourth season of the Israeli television show Fauda. It deals a lot with the Jenin refugee camp.

By the way, that is a fascinating series that illustrates a lot of the tensions in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

 

Is it in English or Hebrew?

 

The original is Hebrew and Arabic with English subtitles. There is also a version where the Hebrew is dubbed in English, but the Arabic has subtitles.

 

Well if big world gov setting up a religious state caint work, what can?

 

Benny and the zionists

 

Thanks.

 

The default on NF is the dubbed version. You have to go into subtitles if you want the original.

The dubbing is very good. It lacks that studio sound that most dubbing has. I watched 3 seasons not on owing it was dubbed.

 

I struggle with subtitles, and despite over 20 years of marriage, I have only learned 4-5 Hebrew phrases, and those are all repeated in the prayers during the High Holidays. However, I will ask my wife and maybe we give it a try together. Thanks again for sharing and then the additional information on the various versions.

 

This is interesting. So current Israeli law allows the high court, and maybe lower courts also, to rule on the “reasonableness” of government actions. So if the national or local governments do something the court thinks is unreasonable or fails to do something the court thinks would be reasonable, the court can intervene.

This article explains the pros and cons of that doctrine.

The reason for reasonableness: A doctrine at the heart of the overhaul explained

One side thinks this is critical for preventing corruption in government and outrageous actions. The other side thinks the courts get involved merely because they don’t like an action and basically has the courts legislate.

From the public demonstrations, a lot of people do not want any restrictions on the courts ability to it rule on reasonableness.

 

Meanwhile in Israel ........

Surgeons in Israel performed a miracle surgery and managed to reattach a boy’s head after he was hit by a car while riding his bike, a Jerusalem hospital announced this week.

Suleiman Hassan, a 12-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank, suffered what is known as an internal decapitation, with his skull detached from the top vertebrae of his spine — officially known as a bilateral atlanto occipital joint dislocation, according to The Times of Israel.

Hassan was riding his bike when a car hit him. The boy was rushed to Hadassah Medical Center and immediately put into surgery in the trauma unit. The doctors said his head was "almost completely detached from the base of his neck."

Dr. Ohad Einav, the orthopedic specialist who led the operation, said the procedure took several hours and required the doctors to use "new plates and fixations in the damaged area."

so the legislature approved the rules gutting the onyl check on Net and the far right and massive expansion of settlements that the people and the military oppose.

what happens now? will the military refuse orders and prompt a far-right false flag to enflame tensions?

not good

 

You know, we have a relatively young country here in the US, but ironically we also have the oldest written constitution in the world. The reasons for this are no doubt myriad and complex, but I can’t help to think that our system checks and balances is absolutely necessary for such longevity. I don’t understand Israel’s system very well, but if they are jettisoning some of the core checks on power as it appears, I wouldn’t be very sanguine on their future stability.

 

Sanguine being the operative word. This opens the doors for Bibi's far right militias to legally exsanguinate Palestinians.
