The Israeli supreme court's attack on the country's constitution
American Jews have in recent years heard mounting warnings about the erosion of democracy in Israel and threats to the rule of law. In the coming weeks, Israel stands on the verge of a profound political revolution. This attack on Israel’s constitutional system, however, has received almost no public attention, because it has come from an unexpected source—the judges of the Supreme Court that invented the constitutional system in the first place. On Dec. 22, the court, which has struck down many laws as unconstitutional, will try something much more radical—considering whether parts of Israel’s constitution itself are, in its view, worthy of continued validity.What's going on here is decidedly another example of leftism no longer willing to respect rightism, and is going out of their way with irrational measures bound to destroy cohesion in every possible way. It's a terrible shame, but another reminder why the left is no longer qualified to govern. Yet don't expect US Jews who're left-leaning themselves to actually care, because they're so far gone in their own way anyway.
