Drunk With Power, Netanyahu Gov't's Vengeance Campaign Against the Judiciary Marches On
The more time passes, the clearer the picture becomes: this is a violent, humiliating campaign of vengeance led by a government with no shame and no mixed feelings
The amendment to the Basic Law on the Government, known in Knesset jargon as the “second Dery law,” is meant to end judicial review of ministerial appointments. It’s a personal law from A to Z, protecting a minister’s right to commit a crime and then lie to the court. It reveals not only flawed values and a lack of moral inhibitions, but also arrogance and chutzpah.
“Even someone who doesn’t understand what an override clause is, and doesn’t want to understand it, understands what’s going on here very well,” an opposition MK said. “The government is working with all its might to legitimize corruption, and to this end, it’s crushing the court.”
They’re so power-drunk and shameless that instead of playing down their plans at this polarized moment, they are sticking their fingers in the eyes of any Israeli who sees any value whatsoever to upholding the law.
And in this entire glorious government coalition, there wasn’t even one righteous man who would say that not only has the madness overflowed the pot, but it’s now dirtying the entire kitchen.
