Bending to a wave of mass protests, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delayed his contentious judicial overhaul plan Monday and said he wanted 'to avoid civil war' by making time to seek a compromise with political opponents.
The announcement appeared to calm some of the tensions that have fueled three tumultuous months of unrest. But it failed to address the underlying issues that have polarized the nation, and the antigovernmental protest movement vowed to intensify its efforts.
In his prime-time address, Netanyahu, who had previously rejected calls to delay the legislation, took a more conciliatory tone than in recent speeches. He acknowledged the deep divisions in the country and said he was hitting the pause button 'to prevent a rift in the nation.'
'When there's an opportunity to avoid civil war through dialogue, I, as prime minister, am taking a timeout for dialogue,' he said. He vowed to reach a 'broad consensus' during the summer session of parliament, which begins on April 30.
He spoke after tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated outside parliament, and the country's largest labor union launched a nationwide strike in a dramatic escalation of the mass protest movement against his plan.
Netanyahu and his religious and ultranationalist allies presented the overhaul in January just days after forming their government, the most right-wing in Israel's history.
The proposal has plunged Israel into its worst domestic crisis in decades. Business leaders, top economists and former security chiefs have all come out against the plan, saying it is pushing the country toward an autocracy. Fighter pilots and military reservists have threatened not to report for duty, and the country's currency, the shekel, has tumbled in value.

That didn’t age well, did it?
Or 1/6, Americas Reichstag Fire.
Oh, heck. We started off almost communist.
It’s been a long haul dragging our country OUT of socialism. I can’t believe there hasn’t been bloodshed yet. Probably 30 years this has been going on.
The Deep State is almost tipping in Israel. This is but one of the battles.
Zechariah 12:2
Jehovah’s doing his wonderful working! It’s Judah vs Israel again.
The Haredi(Orthodox and their rabbis) in Jerusalem are growing in numbers and influence.. I encountered this on a daily basis.
What a blessing that God has given us a nation of Israel to see his faithfulness and end time workmanship/faithfulness. Remember if God can’t keep his promises to Israel through the covenants,can we trust Him to keep faithfulness to His promises to all nations?
Only Israel can defeat Israel.
Maybe out of this Mashiach will come and the Torah State will be restored.
Thanks for the explanation.
Conclusion - the left can riot and protest to protect their judicial or bureaucratic powers against reforms from legislative or executive reform.
This is our future.
I have no doubt that is true.
Great post.
Thanks.
Now it makes sense.
You are correct sir. Get here.
I need an F-4 Phantom II. With extra tanks.
And I’d still have to take off not that far away.
LOL
Oh yeah, I’ll need a guy in the backseat. LOL
It looks like there is an international issue—the woke zombies vs the normies—and there are part of both factions everywhere.
One of my concerns with Israeli spying is that it gives cover for “swapping” of intelligence service data—so Israeli spying on Americans can be “traded” to the CIA (for whatever the Israelis may want at the time) to create de facto domestic spying by the CIA.
I suspect it happens in the US also.
Indeed. Not that the goyim are doing very well either...

I don’t disagree. Although the UK is your main enemy there.
But that is certainly one of the concerns. Our Deep State undoubtedly reaches j to our intelligence forces. Those groups tend to attract pretty hard and driven people in Israel, though. So they are not as bad as some parts (like our judiciary and domestic police).
I’ve flown a F4 (dragging a target).
The bricks do not really turn. More of a giant meander.
Fast though. Think a 70s muscle car in the sky.
Yeah I’ll bet. Though I do enjoy watching some old stories of Vietnam. Though they always said, do not get into a turning fight with a MiG-17 nor a MiG-21.
I’ll bet when you firewalled those J-79’s it was quite a push. At least back then.
About 1970 or so, I was a kid riding my Honda 50 Mini-Trail when a blue and yellow Blue Angels F-4 Phantom II streaked over - seemed like 50 feet. There was an airshow going on at a nearby base that day. I don’t know if this was just practice but IIRC it was a Saturday. So probably the show was in session.
Didn’t you fly the F-15 a bit too before the F-16?
After, but not nearly as much.
You don’t get nearly the flight time in F15 units due to cost and mission so it’s kind of boring.
