How does that work

You share powers, allow for checks and balances and let people vote for their representatives.

We don't have a lord.  We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week ...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting....by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs...

And what is Netanyahu suggesting we do instead

Someone ask Shaky the Mohel.

this is where Eagle_Va would tell you to go do your research. 

Lol...he's doing the "beat around the bush" by asking a million retarded questions thing again, instead of just saying what he wants to say.

Curb one of those checks. And you agree with it because…say it…

...and the Defense Minister is fired

The latest I read on the topic is that he's still in office and was never served with formal notice that he's out.  I guess we'll see.

A common thread in Israel is that many former generals and Mossad members turn to the left after experiencing the horrors of war.  I challenge any leftist posting here to see how they would deal with neighbors that want you eliminated and killed.  But I suspect with recent political realignments in the Mideast that are a direct result of Democratic party foreign policy blunders will ultimately draw conflicting sides in Israel together.  One thing that unites Israelis more than anything is the threat of annihilation.  Now that the Biden administration has pushed Saudi Arabia (and probably the UAE) in the China camp along with Iran, Israel again is becoming more isolated and at risk for again facing existential threats.

Rightfully so from what I am reading 

Curious as to what is your source material and whether or not you understand the nuances behind the proposed reform and the background of why it is being proposed.

Legit news sources

Legit news sources 

Such as Reuters, CNN, the Jerusalem Post?  Which ones?  And do you really understand the background behind proposed reform or the gist of the reform?

I didn't stutter when I said legit news sources.

Your response doesn't reflect legit informed sources or understanding on your part - no disrespect intended.

What legit sources are you thinking about?  Shoving what is in essence a constitutional and structural change down a country's throat without proper due course, debate, collection of consensus, etc. is never a morally good thing.

DaEagles was the one who said he was basing his statements on "legit sources" without ever naming them - so your question on legit sources should be directed to him, not me.

Israel has no constitution, so there can be no constitutional change.  The actions of the Knesset and proposed legislation are in direct response to a horrendous power grab by Aharon Barak who was the equivalent of the Chief Justice of the Israeli Supreme Court.  Even opposition Yair Lapid supported a version of judicial reform.

Yes, of course I know there is no constitution (part of the problem).  I'm saying it is a level of change that is at the level of a constitutional change.

Judicial reform is a good thing for Israel.  The manner in which they are conducting it and the proposal itself are not.

This would depend to me on the urgency of the change being proposed and the potential consequences of doing nothing

There are other ways of handling those issues.  What has changed recently?

Would it be fair to say that you think there’s a long way to go before we are bankrupt, or is what you’re saying is somehow we will help despite being bankrupt?

Doesn’t matter either way
