Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu puts Israel's democracy at risk by supporting controversial justice reforms that are tearing apart Israeli society. He says these reforms are the same as what already exists in Canada and elsewhere. But that's not true. We expose the hypocrisy.
I wrote about other aspects of the judicial reform. Specifically did NOT get into appointment issue. I did not compare judicial appointment process in Canada. And I would never suggest that the Canadian…..or US appointment processes are worth emulating.
What is being proposed in Israel on that score is a whole other topic. Read my piece. I’m talking about the impact of the override clause as contemplated, primarily.
I have not seen a similar comparison as per your article, made between the judicial selection process in Canada and the proposals in Israel. If I understand correctly, in Canada, judges at all levels are selected by politicians. Why is a similar proposal in Israel so reviled in Israel but ok in Canada?
