Netanyahu shows how to deal with the "deep state"
Joel Pollak tells how Benjamin Netanyahu, following election, shows how to deal with the "deep state", and is surely something Republicans can learn from:
Incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not just coming back to office after he was unfairly pushed out; he is also taking down the entrenched “deep state” that tried to get rid of him, and nearly did so.As explained, Netanyahu was subject to flaccid charges of corruption, but also:
Netanyahu’s approach, while shocking to the distraught left-leaning Israeli media, is a model for any future U.S. Republican administration, and shows what Trump might yet achieve, if he has not destroyed his own chances.
Netanyahu was also double-crossed by a small conservative party, denying him a governing majority. Though his Likud was the largest party in four successive elections, a coalition of small parties ousted him last year.And the "leader" of that party, Naftali Bennett, is now out of the Knesset, and we'd be far better off without him.
Initially, Netanyahu’s rhetoric seemed to echo that of Trump. Both claimed that they had been cheated out of reelection — though Netanyahu stressed the overall circumstances rather than alleged fraud at the ballot box.And maybe it's for the best if the education ministry's split into a few parts. That might avail better in the long run in how to manage education in Israel.
But Netanyahu accepted his new role as the leader of the opposition, and used it to exert constant pressure on the new government, which broke various promises it made to voters and slowly alienated its own members.
Netanyahu won the recent elections with the support of a coalition of right-wing parties. Now, with a solid governing majority for the first time in many years, he is rooting out the centers of establishment power.
He is starting with the judiciary, reining in the power of activist judges to strike down laws, which left-wing judges have allegedly abused. He is also planning to reform the police, who have operated without oversight.
He is also planning to divide up the education ministry, where activists — as in the U.S. — have used their control over the curriculum to impose a set of postmodern values that devalue patriotism and tradition.
