Think we have problems? Look at Israel; Netanyahoo has given it...

[TreasonousBastard]

the government Trump would if he had the brains to figure it out.

The Israeli public has figured it out, and they are pissed. But, nothing will be done about it.

[Funtatlaguy]

1. Why isn't Netanyahoo in prison

[uponit7771]

3. Didn't he just get the Israeli congress to override their SC? Sounds like the Israeli form of MAGA

... doing what they want to do here.

Scary shit

[Lonestarblue]

6. No need to override our Supreme Court. It's already filled with six MAGATs.

[spanone]

27. They're probably asking the same about trmp

[JT45242]

2. This is what many Israeli's wanted...not all but enough

The UN declared Israel an apartheid state in violation of international law and human rights over its policies in Palestine that discriminate against the majority residents, Palestinian mix of Christians and Muslims.

They have continued to vote for Bibi's party.

They were ok with apartheid repression in the occupied territories.

Guess they are finding out that when you elect face eating tigers, that sooner or later your own face is on the menu.

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. Israelis hate the Palestinians

like the magas hate the non-whites here. Divide and conquer. Hard to undo. Here we are.

[thatcrowwoman]

8. Not all Israelis, MOMFUDSKI. Not all.

There are Israelis and Palestinians working for peace. Always have been. Always will be.

[Marius25]

23. First of all, not all Israelis hate Palestinians.

Second of all, the Palestinian government literally has the extermination of all Jews as part of their governing charter, so why aren't you pointing out that Palestinians hate all Jews?

[2naSalit]

12. +1

[Joinfortmill]

14. Ironic on a hideous level

[paleotn]

18. They got the government the majority of voters wanted apparently.

This is what happens when hate trumps good sense.

[Marius25]

24. The majority didn't vote for this government.

[paleotn]

28. The Knesset passed the judicial overhaul bill.

Not surprising since Likud and various religious nut job parties hold most of the seats. If that's not an elected majority leaning crazy to the right, I don't know what you'd call it.

[Marius25]

31. You said the majority of voters voted for this government.

They didn't. This coalition got less than half the votes. Netanyahu only got 23% of the vote.

[BannonsLiver]

32. Yes, I think the OP is watching a different movie.

[Mr. Sparkle]

5. The republicans here have done the same thing, by appointing right wing ideologue's to the court

I guess that wasn't an option in Israel due to their proportional representation system

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. If Israel goes FASCIST, reduce the aid we give them.

Money talks.

Israel has no other gross national product other than tourism. Plus, many in the region like Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia view Israel as an interloper for its treatment of the Palestinians and aggression towards its neighbors.

Political consequences abound.

[Joinfortmill]

15. Israel going fascist. Depraved.

[Chi67]

17. Completely messed up

We save them from the nazis just to have them become nazis? No more aid for them. Fuck that.

[pecosbob]

26. You can't base treaties with nations on what a minority would do, only what the majority have done.

By my scorecard they effectively went there a long time ago, not just under Netanyahu. When an ethnic majority in a given nation through demographic changes becomes a minority there will likely have to be accommodations. I see locking up the new majority in prison camps as a bad choice.

[orangecrush]

9. Something will be done

If the Army turns on him.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. As it is, big chunks of reservists are bailing. No idea how far that goes

[orangecrush]

30. Yes

And their reservists aren't like ours.

They make up a large part of the Army.

At least that's what I read.

What's up with this seemingly simultaneous urge of fascist assholes globally?

[Javaman]

10. yahoo wants to be generalissimo for life. nt

[Joinfortmill]

13. The situation is disturbing on many levels.

[paleotn]

16. Yep. A cabal of right wingers and religious nuts have taken over.

Israeli Air Force reserve pilots have had enough. Israel doesn't have a large number of soldiers, sailors or airmen on active duty at any one time. The core of their military is based on reservists. Not in addition to a large active duty force like the US. And Nutinyahoo and his merry band of religious whackadoodles are creating a national security crises. Simply put, if you want to attack Israel, now's the time. Good job, Nutinyahoo. You're playing right into the hands of your enemies.

[Chi67]

20. Ugh

Like I said above, we didn't save them from the nazis just to watch them become nazis. Our support MUST be pulled.

[Sky Jewels]

25. Religion, the scourge and cancer of the planet.

[wnylib]

19. The OP says that nothing will be done.

I'm not so sure of that.

The protest movement is strong. Military reservists are pulling out of service.

Netanyahu might face a revolt that puts him out of office.

[bluestarone]

21. Not sure, but i thought i heard some where that this JERK was invited to the white House? (not sure)

Hope this is CANCELLED! (if true)

[Midnight Writer]

22. It can't happen here.

Can it?

[paleotn]

29. It can happen anywhere.
