After months of increasingly strident mass protests against his government’s plans to reform Israel’s out-of-control and highly partisan judicial system, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have given in to the pressure. He said he was going to be “delaying judicial reform to give real dialogue a chance.”(Snip)On the contrary, Netanyahu is waving the white flag on judicial reform--and everyone knows it. And since the ultimate goal of the protests was not just preventing legislation from being passed but to topple the government, it’s far from clear whether the prime minister can long stay in power after this humiliation

Although lengthy, the article is well worth reading with respect to this country’s current political atmosphere.
FTA: “He failed to understand that—like the willingness of the American political left to do anything to defeat former President Donald Trump, even if meant dragging the country through three years dominated by the Russia collusion hoax—his opponents were prepared to set the country on fire, destabilize its economy and even weaken its national defense to throw him out. The notion that restraining the power of the court—something that opposition leader Yair Lapid used to support before he realized that latching on to the resistance would give him a chance to erase his defeat last year—was the point of the protests was always false. The same could be said of the claim that preventing the courts from selectively exercising unaccountable power without any basis in law was the end of democracy or the first step towards the creation of a theocratic state. (Snip) Whether they succeed is not as important as the implications of a political battle in which large numbers of people were prepared to sabotage the country in order to preserve the establishment’s power to determine policy regardless of who wins elections. (Snip)”

"..out-of-control and highly partisan judicial system..." Sound familiar?

Bibi didn't have a chance when 100s of thousands were in the street, and even reservists were joining in. Very sad. Lucky their enemies didn't strike at that moment.

Deep state reigns in Israel, too. Probably more of a threat to the Jewish state than all the Muslim terrorists combined.

You would think that a country that is surrounded by Israel-hating muslims who would eradicate Israel in a heartbeat if they had the chance, would have its crap together internally. Evidently this is not the case. Bibi rolled the dice and lost...for now.

These people are supernaturally blind to the evil surrounding Israel, and the encouragement they are providing to it.

Israel has the best leader in the free world who could and will make Israel Great Again but the commies are there, too and Prime Minister Netanyahu has, not only the Palestinians, Iranians, Soviets and now China to deal with but he has not friends in the diapers demcommie party in the USofA

Israeli democracy. That pretty much explains it. Israel has one of if not the most screwed up legislature, parliament what ever , of governance ever conceived.

90% of the multitude of political partys, sects, tribes, or whatever you call them are fighting Bibi strictly to get their hand on the MONEY.

Netanyahu's best lesson would be to leave Israel to the radicals and see how they all live under idiot leadership while dodging Palestinian rockets. Sometimes people just need to get what they want to figure out how stupid they are. It's like a headstrong daughter who wants to marry a biker bum with no job or permanent address. Give her a goodbye gift with a note explaining why there will be no return home and no financial assistance whatsoever.

This does not bode well for Israel. However, I believe it will get much much worse before it gets better. There is an evil force working very hard in the world to set up what is coming. It will be global and the most brutal time in the history of the world since the flood. It is interesting to watch it all fall into place, but it is scary to know what devastation the world will go through before evil is finally defeated. God is faithful and loving but He also will judge the world and I don’t believe it will be too far in the future. Seek Him before it is too late.

We are to pray for Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem.
The End Times are starting and The Lord will take His people home soon.
Get right with the Lord now, before it is too late.

The resistance is antifa funded with billions of dollars from outside interests. The Supreme Court appoints its own Members and make their own Lars and is totally corrupt and that’s why the left wants it as is. BB wants justices elected and end the inside job corruption. This article is more fake news and part of the big lie.

10, these people are first, foremost and always leftists. Jewish is a label they use only when useful to score political points.

1 Peter 5:8
King James Version
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
So, the adversary is everywhere. A party base that is taking God out of society will have actions of the adversary. Everywhere. It is sad because there are a lot of Christians who don't read the Bible and know nothing of these verses in the Bible. More and more people including Christians are unequipped.

AMEN #14... I pray that many pulpits would preach that "sermon". We are closer to the Coming of the Lord than we think!
We encourage others to pray for Israel daily. It will only take seconds. It can be a quick arrow prayer,
such as, "Lord, save Israel! Another quick prayer is, "Lord, Send peace to Jerusalem." or "Send confusion into the enemy's camp!"
Prayer changes things, circumstances, people and even Countries.
