Why The Protests In Israel Are A REALLY Big Deal
Nationwide protests continued for the 10th week in Israel as citizens filled city streets on Saturday to voice their opposition to the hard-right government's plans to limit the Supreme Court's authority. Critics view these plans as a threat to judicial independence. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who claims his intention is to balance the government's branches, holds a parliamentary majority with his coalition partners who are religious nationalists.

Meanwhile just an update last Wednesday we had Marin Rappaport who is a writer in both 972 mag and also the editor of a local call who spoke to us from Tel Aviv and explained to us the context of the massive protests that we're seeing. You have to understand that when 200,000 people come out to protest in Israel it would be the equivalent of about 6 million in this country. wow. We have never seen six million people protest in a specific City in this country. so I don't even know if we've had six million people protesting simultaneously. I think during the Iraq War it was like three million. I mean the women's March, what was it up to like five-ish or something like that. I guess that's possible. Throughout the whole country. And we should say this is happening every week every weekend now it's happening. And the real question is that well here's some of the footage of this. again handmade tail outfits they get all our Netflix there. And the bottle culture. Now the interesting thing is of course their concern is not fundamentalist Christian Christianity it is fundamental Judaism. and you know just to recap what Marin Rappaport told us basically we have a government over there in Israel now where you have a Rock Solid sort of Coalition between the ethno-nationalists and the religious fundamentalists. And they don't really you know they don't have too many points of contention between the two of them. Let's put it down that overlap is pretty seamless there's a really healthy dose of racism that really in many ways is essential to both of those ideologies. And the real question for someone like and we should say this is for allowing the Knesset which has 120 members a vote of 61 would overturn any ruling by the Supreme Court and presumably any other Lower Court effectively saying that the court is really there if only for administrative purposes. that any major questions that are meaningful in any way the Knesset can overrule them. it's essentially their system of judicial review right? For that kind of legislation? No no no no. There is no judicial review of this legislation. There is no constitution in Israel. There it would basically be the Supreme Court had a certain Primacy in certain areas in which it would rule. That is gone under their proposed changes.
