It is Unacceptable to Try to Intimidate the Supreme Court

The message recently from the Israeli government has been one of intimidation towards the Supreme Court of Israel. The notion that the current extremist Israeli government can shield any piece of legislation from judicial review by making it part of a quasi-constitutional basic law is infuriating. The notion that the Supreme Court is responsible for the government causing a constitutional crisis by defying the Supreme Court is absurd and contemptible. Everyone is responsible for his, her or their own actions, however, the government knows perfectly well that the Supreme Court understands that it is within its jurisdiction to strike down a basic law. If the government defies the Supreme Court and causes a constitutional crisis then they must surely understand that a military coup d’état as ordered by the Israeli Deep State will follow so as to avoid civil war.
