Israeli Jews without Torah are just irascible Arabs.

So, sorry, but I read three articles on this “impending civil war” today and all three were deeply rooted in the iron clad assumption that I knew the details of this caper.
Can anyone give me a quick run down on why the reserves are stepping down and what a civil war would be about?

This is Obama’s army now attacking Israel.

It’s complicated - Right now, any liberal judge can invalidate a law passed by the Knesset if he thinks it’s “unreasonable”. This change to the legal system would take away that power from the Judiciary.

This is a Biden-Obama lead revolt over Israel’s attempt to clean up its Judicial system of corruption.

From CNN:

The so-called reasonableness law takes away the Supreme Court’s power to block government decisions by declaring them unreasonable. Its passing could trigger a constitutional crisis – if the court declares the law itself is unreasonable.

THIS is the only concerning headline from that group. Everything else is pathetic leftist puppetry.

Israeli Jews without Torah are just irascible Arabs.

It's the secular "Jews" from New Sodom (Tel Aviv) who despise the Torah and religious Jews, and are going insane because they know that Israel's demographic shift means they may never win another election again...and the Marxist "Court" was their veto against the right-wing and Torah-observant parties.

Yeah…I was thinking about that too. How many are actual arabs taking the opportunity to create more chaos? How many have infiltrated the protest from neighboring countries?

Netanyahu has gone Trump as far as Biden is concerned dramatic events are possible in the weeks ahead.

But what I see is a Leftist Insurrection talking “Democracy” with Netanyahu called “Putin” by the Biden backed insurrectionists.

That portends something potentially drastic happening.

Yes, but at the same time Israel enemies are keeping a close eye for an opportunity or open door to attack Israel. If anarchy happens consider Israel a sitting duck! The veggie and his anti-Israel administration won’t lift a finger to aide them!

We’re the Democrats saying that “Judicial Reform” is a GOOD THING when they were trying to PACK THE COURTS???

Israel had to pass this law. You cannot have a free country in which unelected tyrant judges overrule the elected government.

It was becoming a judicial dictatorship.

Elections have consequences and Netanyahu’s majority in Parliament (64 out of 120) is governing.

It was my understanding that the reforms were not going to be put through.

I’m not in favor of judicial juntas.

There are a series of reform bills on the table still waiting in the wings.

Today the first one was passed in parliament.

We will see if the judges intervene to challenge it in the coming days.

What comes next stay tuned.
