WhatsappRight now Israel is experiencing a crazy and dangerous protest movement.
Unfortunately, more and more public statements are being publicized of IDF reserve soldiers openly called to no longer serve in the IDF, with some pilots even saying that they would not attack Iran if ordered to defend Israel.
Yesterday, Israeli Defense Minister Galant who campaigned on the importance of judicial reform, not only did not put an end to the insubordination of army officials calling to no longer serve, but he legitimized their insubordination by appeasing it and calling to stop the necessary and just reform. In reaction to that colossal and dangerous precedent, Prime Minister Netanyahu fired him as Defense Minister.
In addition to that, last night, the political left took to the streets, caused chaos and even closed down the major highway in Tel Aviv, with the support of high-level police officers in charge of Tel Aviv.
Now heads of Universities, Hospital directors and workers unions are planning on shutting down the country unless the law to neuter the veto power of Supreme Court judges to choose other Supreme Court judges is stopped.
Unfortunately, the left is showing that they are willing to destroy the country over a law that takes away veto power from the Supreme Court judges in choosing new Supreme Court judges. And for that they are screaming the end of democracy, failing to realize that their actions are the epitome of destroying democracy! (See my friend’s great post below for more on who is actually representing democracy with this law)
Even opposition party leader Benny Gantz today said that he would sit and negotiate the judicial reform. However, the political left had over 10 weeks to sit and negotiate, yet instead of negotiating they decided to create absolute chaos, calling for removing money from Israel, asking foreign countries to isolate Israel diplomatically, and even supporting IDF soldiers to refuse to serve, as a tactic to protest the very just reform that they could have peacefully negotiated!!!
Understand, this protest movement is not about judicial reform, it’s about overturning a democratically elected government.
This is a political terror protest campaign. Period.
Again, making quite clear that it’s those protesting the judicial reforms who are destroying Israeli democracy. Protesting is fine, but calls to support the destruction of the country unless your demands are met, is no longer protesting.

If you ever wake up you will see this is CIA sponsored anarchy, not a protest.
RE: “Understand, this protest movement is not about judicial reform, it’s about overturning a democratically elected government.”
This is similar to what happened in Ukraine in February 2014 during the “Maidan” coup d’état. And the “leftovers” from the Obama Administration are using the same “modus operandi in the Biden Administration.
