Over 1,000 Air Reservists Threaten to Stop Serving, as Israel’s Political Crisis Grows
New York TimesMAR 31 2023
Netanyahu and his far-right government are holding Israel hostage as they look to transform the country’s judiciary and strip it of its power. Israel claims to be a democracy, but everything that's transpired in recent months suggests it's the furthest thing from a democracy. Israel is slipping further and further into a fascist dictatorship as the far right looks to solidify its power without the intention of ever letting it go.
While the opposition may claim to have popular support in opposing the government’s judicial reforms, they don’t realize that they are in the minority for a reason. Most Israelis stand with Netanyahu and his pro-Israel party, and they don’t want a politicized Supreme Court to overstep its bounds and interfere with legitimate legislation. A real democracy allows the people to support the politicians and policies that they want, even if those politicians happen to be on the right.
