  If Israel isn’t going to be a democracy then we can’t support them anymore. The entire justification for us providing them with money and weapons has been because they were “the only democracy in the Middle East.”
context: Netanyahu is facing charges for corruption so the laws are to protect him. He should not have been able to get the role back given this fact >
  
  An independant judiciary benefits nobody except everyone who isn't a corrupt, aging politican who's currently being prosecuted. /smh >
  
  The American conservative model of democracy. >
  
  TLDR: French President Emmanuel Macron has warned Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that
  If the planned judicial reform is adopted as it stands, France would be forced to conclude that Israel has broken away from a common understanding of democracy.
  This warning comes as financial institutions and leading economists have raised concerns that the overhaul could harm Israel financially.
  US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also touted the importance of democracy during his recent visit to Israel and appeared to intervene in the domestic argument around the reform, suggesting it should be a non-partisan process led by President Isaac Herzog. >
  
  Hold up are they dismantling judiciary independence? That's literally a shot to the heart of democracy. I doing think enough people appreciate just how important total judicial independence is >
  
  Yes they are, yes it is, and yes people realize.
  The current government in Israel is composed of people who are personally loyal to Bibi in coalition with a bunch of ultrareligious and ultranationalists who are willing to sign off on Bibi doing what he needs to to stay out of jail as long as it lets them push their own fairly radical agendas. >
  
  Otzma Yehudit 
  
  Otzma Yehudit (Hebrew: עָצְמָה יְהוּדִית, lit. 'Jewish Strength', or 'Jewish Power') is a far-right political party in Israel, which has been referred to as Kahanist and anti-Arab. It was originally formed as Otzma LeYisrael (Hebrew: עָצְמָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל; lit. , Strength for Israel), which was established on 13 November 2012 by MKs Aryeh Eldad and Michael Ben-Ari, who split from the National Union to form a new party ahead of the 2013 elections.

  There ultimately aren't too many different ways to be a fascist . >
  
  But did Macron SLAM the judicial overhaul? I don’t react to headlines unless I see that someone or something got SLAMMED. >
  
  Would you listen to Macron if he just BLASTED it? >
  
  As an Israeli myself  , you need to know that Netanyahu geninuely only cares about getting away with his corruption trials , he will do ANYTHING in order to achieve it including destroying the country . Macron is wasting his time trying to warn him .  He should've boycotted him and other members of his government .
