Letters to the Editor: Israel's conscience is its protesters, not Netanyahu's despotic government (via latimesopinion )
The Israel that I have loved, supported and defended from its very inception is now represented by the hundreds of thousands of Israelis in the streets protesting the would-be despot serving as prime minister and his bigoted far-right pals in the Knesset.
Benjamin Netanyahu and his American brother from another mother will do anything to stay in power, up to and including destruction of democracy and the ethics on which it is based. Netanyahu has vowed to return to his ugly plan to rob the Supreme Court of its powers after Passover. I hope the protesters will return to the streets in even bigger numbers.All this hand-wringing over what Israel is going to do and what it’s not going to do is just noise now. Many commentators and reporters are pandering to the worst-case scenario.
Israel has always had a strong democracy with a mix of left and right in every one of their governments over the past 75 years. Let’s wait until something, anything actually happens in regard to the judicial reforms before going wild. All we have now are sky-is-falling mantras, using a supposed crisis to take another shot at the Jewish state. Real life, as it occurs, will paint a different picture.
