Let's see recent trash Politico's article about Israel exemplifies “reporting” by a corrupt and uninformed media and its agents.
First, read the Politico headline and attack on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his judicial reform efforts: “Israel's Supreme Court overturns key elements of Netanyahu's polarizing judicial reform.”
For those who don't know anything about this, just looking at the headlines will tell you that Prime Minister Netanyahu is undermining Israel's judiciary. “Bipolarization”? The truth is that since the 1990s, Israel's Supreme Court, without any legal authority, has taken power from the elected parts of Israel's government: the parliament and the prime minister. it is It's polarized.
Israel has no constitution.Therefore, in this vacuum, over time, an all-powerful judicial oligarchy or political bureauSo to speak, was born. As you might imagine, this Judicial and Political Bureau is filled with left-wing lawyers.
In fact, this Judicial and Political Bureau is so undemocratic and incestuous that it controls the majority of the appointment powers of the Judicial and Political Bureau. own courtthereby ensuring that the left of the court is always in control and never replaced by a conservative or non-leftist majority.
The tyranny of Israel's judiciary is as vicious and harmful as the tyranny of any other form of government.
The Judicial and Political Bureau has become so powerful that individuals, groups, and any political party no longer even need to stand to raise issues. In other words, a party is a legitimate claimant even if he or she has no substantial personal connection to the facts or events of the issue before the court. This practice is not allowed anywhere else in the Western world, as it allows courts to step into areas of governance to which they do not belong.
But for Israel's Judicial and Political Bureau, this is intentional. This is because left-wing judges will be able to choose from tens of thousands of cases brought to them and legislate the ones they want. And the people who bring cases to the Judicial and Political Bureau know that.
The only limitation is the sole discretion of the Judicial and Political Bureau. The Judicial and Political Bureau calls this a “test of rationality,” a laughably absurd justification for its tyranny. And they've been getting away with it for the past 25 years or so.
This Judicial and Political Bureau is so antithetical to enlightened democratic government and republicanism that it has been condemned by several leading legal and judicial scholars, including our own. This is judicial tyranny as vicious and harmful as any other form of governmental tyranny. In fact, our own damn Woodrow Wilson wrote frequently about controlling and coercing the will of the people and the popularly elected part of government through the judiciary by hiding like-minded ideologues among the judges. Ta.
After years of tolerating increasing authoritarianism in the imperial court and constant intervention and control of the Knesset on a wide range of issues ranging from national security, military decisions, religious practices, and just about anything else imaginable, the Likud party and its smaller Conservative political parties operated, in part, on the agenda of reforming the most egregious abuses of the Judicial and Political Bureau.

After winning a large majority in the elections and after much debate and negotiation, Prime Minister Netanyahu ultimately supported a fairly moderate reform plan that is much closer to our own judicial system. The bill passed the National Assembly, but as you might have guessed, it was taken up for review by the Judicial and Political Bureau.
Throughout this process, far-left forces in Israel campaigned against judicial reform, with support from groups in Israel as well as in the United States and Europe. And they raised millions of dollars, including black money from abroad, to eradicate it. They carried out large-scale, organized protests with the support of Israel's notorious left-wing and anti-Netanyahu media, and with the cooperation of all segments of Israeli society. Indeed, some military and intelligence services were encouraged to join the rebels and to defy Prime Minister Netanyahu's orders as an act of defiance.
The Judicial and Political Bureau represents approximately 25% of the electorate and is therefore the only means by which Israel's far left can control governance. Thus, in order to protect the corrupt judiciary, he pushed Israel into near-civil war. And, of course, it positions itself as a champion of democracy.
In our country, too, when Joe Biden and his administration have issued authoritarian laws and corrupt courts have abused their power, such as denying Donald Trump the right to vote, denying him the right to vote, and denying him attorney-client privilege. The same kind of propaganda is used when dispossessing people.
The campaign in Israel is based, in part, on the unpopular and discredited former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who negotiated a horrific deal with Yasser Arafat to hand over nearly 100% of Judea and Samaria, the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. It has been led by. Important parts of Jerusalem, the Jewish capital, also went to the PLO.
However, if President Arafat withdraws, Israel will no longer be modern Israel. It would be, among other things, a besieged state with indefensible borders. Mr. Barak has been hailed as a champion of democracy and judicial independence of sorts, not only by American, Israeli and European media, but also by Democratic politicians (Biden among them) and operatives. At the same time, Prime Minister Netanyahu is stigmatized as a dictator and an enemy of the people.
Thus, Israel's Judicial and Political Bureau is in the middle of a monumental act of judicial dictatorship, and more importantly, a war for Israel's survival! — has done more to destroy Israel's democracy than any other enemy. No wonder Israel's far left and media celebrate this. our The far left, our media (like Politico), and other social and cultural groups that hate Israel and America.
