The sour grapes of the ashkenazi elites, sensing that the days when only they called the shots are over. Vivian Bercovici, a prime example of this club; former diplomate, because you were born in the right family with the right connections, so morally superior to the sefardic average Joe, cannot stand the fact Israel is drifting away from a western-oriented past to a middle eastern future.

How amusing to see her trying to sell her temper tantrum as moral virtue.

Where were you protesting when the supreme court under Aharon Barak assumed the power to not only check the laws adopted by the Knesset for their legality, but also their validity, in essence assuming overall power by a body that isn't chosen by the people nor can be voted out of office by the people?

Oh right, you were nowhere, because the supreme court is left leaning and suits your agenda. If that ain't hypocrisy, I don't know what is. The internal strife in Israel at the moment is as much on Itamar Ben-Gvir as it is on Aharon Barak (such a shame for a man with his history).
