Biden wrestles with Israel's defiant turn to the right
The Washington Post (via MSN.com) ^ | 24 July 2023 | Meryl Kornfield

The Israeli parliament parted ways with President Biden on Monday in taking its explosive vote to weaken Israel's Supreme Court, rebuffing weeks of pleas from the president not to do so without first building consensus..."It is unfortunate that the vote took place today," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in a gentle but unmistakable rebuke. "It happened with the slimmest possible majority."

Israeli Conservatives have been constrained, obstructed, and neutralized by a Hard Left Judicial dictatorship for decades.

Should the Democrats get enough power to pack the courts, be prepared to have ALL of their reaction to Israel Deep-Sixed, as the Democrats will also be INSISTING that our courts need to be ‘reformed’.

Defiant? It’s hard to hide behind language like that.

Liberals pretend there is no such thing as a left-wing dictatorship and so they push for it constantly. And they also pretend that limited government is synonymous with fascism.

The only thing Biden “wrestles” with is getting a diaper change and pudding cup.

Note that it’s ISRAEL’S defiant turn to the Right, as in a free and fair election without subterfuge by the Right on their plans to reform the judiciary.

Israel’s Left can read demographics like anyone else. They were always going to lose in the long run, whether in 2022, 2026 or 2030. That’s why Israel’s Left has opened the country to non-Jewish immigrants, legal and illegal, and wish to bypass elections having consequences altogether.

Here’s an idea for the esteemed Mr. Biden. Do not concern yourself with another country’s internal affairs. Instead focus on your own country’s many problems.

There’s the federal deficit. And urban crime. And the threat from China. I could go on and on. Suffice to say that America has enough problems at home. Do not go abroad in search of dragons to destroy.*

* A wise quote from John Quincy Adams.

Defiant? The language of the press is so twisted.

Side note: my last day fishing in south Florida last Sunday, there was a boat 20 miles out named simply “FJB”

My mostly conservative wife didn’t believe me when I told her what it means.

If the Biden White House disapproves, it was a good move.

The idea of a political spectrum where Communists are on one extreme and Fascists are on the other extreme is a ruse pulled by the left after WWII.

The confusion came when Hitler and Stalin appeared to be at odds.

First, it is important to note that Hitler and Stalin were allies when hostilities began! This fact is omitted in most history texts since it does not fit the narrative.

Second, it should be pointed out that “Nazi” comes from national “socialism”. So Communists and Nazis represent different forms of socialism.

A proper political scale places those who espouse the power of the state on one end and those who espouse the power of the individual on the other end.

Thus, Communists and Nazis, being different forms of socialism, belong on the same side of the scale along with dictatorships. Libertarianism and anarchy belong on the other end. Democratic and republican forms of government belong in the center.

slimmest possible majority?

The amendment limiting the Supreme Court’s powers to void some government decisions if it deemed them “unreasonable” passed by a 64-to-0 vote

“Defiant?” Defying what Boss? Who is the israrli citizens’ Boss that their elected government is “defying?” Let’s have sone clarity, please. Thank you

Incidentally,
a “liberal” or a “conservative” can both support freeing a representative democracy from a self- perpetuating hard- leftist “court” that undermines their country and its citizens’ rights on a regular basis.

Looks like MSN doesn’t allow comments on their articles.

Re: "MSN.com doesn't allow comments"

They used to, but they would get swamped with Conservative rebuttals from people like me.

They have experimented with several new Comment platforms, but Conservatives keep finding a Back Door inside, so MSN.com keeps reverting to no Comments at all on politically sensitive subjects.

Too bad. Oh well. The only reason I clicked on the link to their website was to see what kind of comments they got for this article.

Liberals have zero capacity for criticism, which they seem to perceive as a criminal act.
