Yesterday, on Tuesday, September 12, I spent my day switching back and forth between the livestreams of the historic hearing in the Supreme Court of Israel and the talking heads on Israel’s channel 12.
So, what do you think will happen if the Supreme Court rejects the law? One can hope that society will work out its differences in a civil manner but if the divide is as you describe, I'm not hopeful.
And why do we still refer to political positions based on which side of the chamber the elite vs hoi polloi sat in Louis XVI's Estates Generale?
Ha! As for the second point….it’s so much easier to reduce complexities to a parody. So rather than deal w the broad range of political ideology in the “anti” bloc….just reduce them all to being leftist anarchists. Problem solved!
As for que sera……I expect that the Supreme Court will find a way to send the law back to the Knesset for a rethink within certain parameters. The variations on that are endless. But they will find a way to put the gov in a corner: follow the law or not. If the gov takes the wrong fork? All bets r off.
