Leftist protestors desecrate democracy
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the behavior of certain members of the opposition and participants in the protests against the government's planned judicial reforms during the weekly Likud faction meeting Monday, calling their actions antidemocratic.To think that some hoodlums would stop a child suffering from impairment from going to school; it's truly obscene. Assuming they have jobs, they don't deserve any, and they should leave the country.
"In a democracy, the people vote in elections, and the people's representatives vote here in the Knesset. We call that democracy," Netanyahu said. "Unfortunately, the protest leaders are trampling on democracy. They do not accept the election results, they do not accept the decision of the majority, they do not condemn calls for the murder of the Prime Minister, and members of his family, they do not condemn calls to harm members of the Knesset. They block roads and call for civil disobedience, they shamelessly call for civil war and blood in the streets They threaten through bullying against MKs."
He criticized those protestors who attempted today to block coalition MKs from being able to reach the Knesset to vote on a bill which would change the makeup of the committee which selects Supreme Court justices. "We thought we had seen everything and this morning they reached a new low: this morning they tried to forcefully prevent MKs from leaving their homes and coming to the Knesset in order to exercise the most fundamental right to vote,"
Netanyahu singled out the protesters from the Block the Revolution organization who surrounded the apartment of MK Tally Gotliv (Likud) in Givat Shmuel, linking arms to block her from exiting. Police were called to the scene, ordering the demonstrators to disperse.
The prime minister said that MK Gotliv "has a daughter with special needs, and they tell her, 'You won't leave the house and your daughter won't leave the house.' These are the thugs who want to preach ethics to us?! Who sound so high and mighty when they talk about values, about the rights of the minority and the individual - while at the same time they trample to dust the rights of a girl with special needs and the rights of a public representative."
"I thank those in the opposition who condemned this terrible thing, and those who did not - shame on you. Did you fall on your head? What happened to you? Have you no shame? Did you lose it somewhere? Look how the protest leaders talk about democracy while in reality they trample on democracy," he said,
So far, as noted before, the judicial reform bills have passed the first reading, but it remains to be seen if the far-leftists will cut out their offensive acts. As Nadav Shragai notes, the USA government also blatantly tried to interfere, which was just as harmful, and that's got to stop too.
