WhatsappMark Levin lives in the United States of America but understands the genuine challenges in the State of Israel better than most people in the State of Israel. But his criticism is a bit too biting. His criticism of Israel’s Director of Intelligence is certainly partially true. But credit must be given to Israel’s intelligence for the massively successful beeper operation in Lebanon, the downfall of Syria, and the successful defense and counterattack against Iran. So, a more balanced analysis is necessary.

As much as the Supreme Court in Israel is overreaching and seemingly all powerful, Levin exaggerates a bit. The Prime Minister also has more power in Israel than the Executive Branch does in the United States. Due to the parliamentary system, as long as the Prime Minister has 61 votes in the Knesset, he can play one party off another, even if it means that the will of the people is disregarded.
Similarly, the Army Brass in Israel has more impact on political decisions during a war than they should. When a group of top Army Generals present the civilian leadership with limited options due to their political biases, it creates enormous pressure on the leadership to accept the Army’s options, even if they are wrongheaded.
In a nutshell, Israel is a country without sufficient checks and balances. Therefore, there are competing power structures that all wield too much power. But it is not only the Supreme Court that has too much power. Even much of the press has too much power due to archaic laws that allow monopolies to continue to dominate on TV and Cable channels.
But very few understand this as well as Mark Levin. He is not just a true friend and supporter of Israel. He truly sees what very few see and is willing to say what very few are willing to express.
