☆ Opinion | The War Ended Israel’s Democracy Protests, but Not the Threat to Democracy

Alas, since the horrific Hamas attack on Oct. 7 and the ensuing war in Gaza, celebration would have felt grotesque. But the all-consuming conflict should not be allowed to obscure the fact that the struggle for democracy in Israel continues. In a single decision handed down on Jan. 1, the court ruled on two issues. The first concerned an overarching principle: The court affirmed that it could overrule even constitutional measures if they violated core democratic principles. An overwhelming 13 of the 15 justices concurred on that point, establishing, as a result, a protection against the government exploiting basic laws to hurt democracy.

☆ Opinion | Netanyahu Led Us to Catastrophe. He Must Go.

In a jittery loud voice, a man from across the hall told about us the Hamas invasion of Israel that had just begun. That moment repeats on a loop in my mind — when I wake up at night and when the sirens repeat. Mr. Netanyahu has been prime minister for 13 of the past 14 years. While the head of the Shin Bet security service and the commander of military intelligence have publicly taken responsibility, the prime minister has glaringly failed to do so. But if the army and country were unprepared for the Hamas invasion — as they clearly were —- there is no place else for the buck to stop.

☆ The Strength of Israel’s Divided Democracy Protests - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-08-03 | by ( Gershom Gorenberg | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
In central Jerusalem, thousands of people marched the short distance from the president’s residence to the prime minister’s house. The size of the protests has been possible because the main banner is defending Israel’s internal democracy, but also because people who oppose the occupation are intensely involved. That choice has allowed Israelis from the center right and right to join and even take leading roles. But for many other protesters, it makes no sense to talk about democracy while ignoring Israel’s occupation of the West Bank. And in principle, they’re right: There is an essential contradiction between liberal democracy and the denial of rights to Palestinians.
