Ben Shapiro defends Netanyahu on the issue of the supreme court
Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro defended the Netanyahu government’s plans to reform the Israeli judicial system, and excoriated media coverage of the proposed reforms.See, this is a considerable problem in Israel - no constitution similar to what the USA's got, and no proper committee where authorities can testify before in the Knesset itself on specific issues. And that's got to be changed, and the left cannot be allowed to get in the way. Shapiro's right to speak in Netanyahu and Levin's defense here.
In a segment on The Daily Wire, Shapiro called the Israeli judiciary a “dictatorship,” and argued in favor of the reforms proposed by Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud).
“Benjamin Netanyahu has come under fire from the Left for pursuing a plan to democratize the Supreme Court of Israel,” Shapiro said.
“The media are so hypocritical about this stuff…particularly in the United States. The media in the United States keeps saying that Benjamin Netanyahu is some sort of fascist, that the newly-elected Knesset majority in Israel is some sort of fascist organization for seeking to…change the procedures for Supreme Court’s nominees… so that they are nominated by the Knesset or nominated by the Prime Minister and then confirmed by the Knesset, which sounds very much like the American system.”
Shapiro highlighted Israel’s lack of a written constitution, arguing that the Israeli Supreme Court’s judicial activism without a constitution offers the court unlimited power to effectively legislate from the bench.
