Previously: American Jews “On a Collision Course” with Upcoming Israeli Government
Net and Yoohoo has no right to tell people what they can and can’t do in our democracy of values of who we are.
Tens of thousands of Israelis joined demonstrations on Saturday against judicial reform plans by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government that protesters say will threaten democratic checks and balances on ministers by the courts.
The plans, which the government says are needed to curb overreach by activist judges, have drawn fierce opposition from groups including lawyers, and raised concerns among business leaders, widening already deep political divisions in Israeli society.
“They want to turn us into a dictatorship, they want to destroy democracy,” the head of the Israeli Bar Association, Avi Chimi said. “They want to destroy judicial authority, there is no democratic country without a judicial authority.”
Just shut up, Jew. No one likes democracy. It’s gay and retarded and everyone thinks it sucks ass.

Netanyahu has dismissed the protests, now in their third week, as a refusal by leftist opponents to accept the results of last November’s election, which produced one of the most right-wing governments in Israel’s history.
The protesters say the future of Israeli democracy is at stake if the government succeeds in pushing through the plans, which would tighten political control over judicial appointments and limit the Supreme Court’s powers to overturn government decisions or Knesset laws.
As well as threatening the independence of judges and weakening oversight of the government and parliament, they say the plans will undermine the rights of minorities and open the door to more corruption.
“We are fighting for democracy,” said Amnon Miller, 64, among crowds of protesters, many bearing white and blue Israeli flags. “We fought in this country in the army for 30 years for our freedom and we won’t let this government take our freedom.”
If Bibi really wants to rile these faggots, he should appoint his son Yair in some high level position.
That Jew Yair is a total Nazi. The Jews have been after him for a long time. A long time.
There are also huge protests in France this week.

People all over the world, for various different reasons, are upset about the way things are going.
When even the Jews themselves are mad, you know the Jews have gone too far.
