Ronen Bergman, Patrick Kingsley and Isabel Kershner NYTimes, Apr. 8, 2023 “Israeli political commentators said on Sunday that the leaked assessment appeared to confuse the notions of “encouraging” and “allowing,” and to mix up the actions of former Mossad employees with those of current employees.” The Israeli government issued a statement on Sunday firmly […]
Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, Apr. 9, 2023 “If The New York Times report and the American intelligence cables are disinformation, they could have been concocted by Russian intelligence and trumpeted by elements in Israel who wish to discredit the protest movement.” A debate raged throughout the day on Sunday about the veracity of what appeared […]
Melanie Phillips JNS, Mar. 30, 2023 “Whatever individual protesters may have told themselves, the real purpose of the uprising was not to stop judicial reform. It was to get rid of Netanyahu.” Whatever one thinks about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, any true Israeli patriot will surely react viscerally to U.S. President Joe […]
Elliot Kaufman WSJ, Mar. 30, 2023 “He was met immediately with a revolt not of Israel’s underclass, but its overclass. The military leadership threw its weight against the reform.

WARNING BELLS SOUNDED What the War Against Judicial Reform is Really About: Caroline Glick, Mar. 24, 2023 — The left’s total war against the Netanyahu government’s judicial reform plan seems to know no bounds, and appears impenetrable to information or substantive discussion.

Weinberg, Jerusalem Post, Mar. 8, 2023 _______________________________________________________________ LISTEN: Liberalism […]
Editorial Board WSJ, Mar. 12, 2023 “Shrewd thinkers on Israel’s right understand that compromise is needed to lower the stakes, regain the public’s confidence and pass something durable. The opposition, however, sees Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing on a ledge and has no desire to let him off lightly.” Opposition to Israeli judicial reform […]
David M. Weinberg Jerusalem Post, Mar. 8, 2023 “… opposition to public policy reforms must be debated on their merits, without semi-automatic screeching about intolerance, repression, dictatorship, thought police, and the crushing of democratic norms.” Have you heard of a country that is “drowning in a sea of sensed betrayal?” That is “awash in […]
Evelyn Gordon Mosaic Magazine, Mar. 6, 2023 “Right now, both sides believe they can win. The government has the votes to pass its own plan as is; the opposition believes that the protests and pressure will force the government to fold.” Anyone reading the press out of Israel these days would probably […]

In Israel, the threat is deeper and wider than either […]
