Links:El Lazaro wrote:In the last few weeks and months, far-right extremism has been on the rise in both Israel and Palestine as Israel carries out frequent and aggressive attacks on Palestine and groups such as Hamas have allegedly lost funding from Iran, undermining confidence in their ability to secure territory. At the same time, Netanyahu negotiated with the most racist and authoritarian parties in the Knesset, including a deal to place Itamar Ben-Gvir - a criminal with multiple convictions for supporting an ultranationalist theocratic terrorist group and upfront pogrom incitement - in charge of national security and administrating occupied Palestinian areas.
Now, with the anti-Arab and ultra-Orthodox coalition achieved, the government has taken the agenda a step further with a move for the de facto abolition of Israel’s constitution. Here’s how it works in the proposal: the ruling coalition gets to pick the majority of the Supreme Court appointment committee members, and if even one SC justice doesn’t decide a law is unconstitutional, the ruling is null. Once it is implanted, it will almost certainly be used to “self-pardon” Bibi’s acts of corruption and permit the killing and expulsion of many more Palestinians than before. Beyond that, however, they may have more ambitious plans: getting one yes-man on the court would mean the Likud/Far-Right coalition would be able to tear down democracy with impunity. Perhaps the worst case scenario is a Machtergreifung, where the far-right is able to wrest power from Likud and rule without constitutional restraints.
It goes without saying that this new government is an abomination, not to mention a problem for the allies and enemies of Israel alike. The US State Department has condemned the far-right’s attempts to provoke ethnic violence and make power grabs, Ukraine has expressed distaste for the administration, and the IDF’s top brass has denounced some of the coalition’s foreign and security policy initiatives as dangerous and unconstitutional ploys. With Iran and Russia struggling to project influence into the Levant as of late, however, historic and drastic measures may be the only way to pressure Israel out of it, if there is one.
Idk, Something along the lines of “terrorism” or “hate crimes”...I know many of us favor one side over the other in the Israel-Palestine conflict, but if anyone is willing to support a severe and destabilizing escalation undertaken by a government more radical than that of Palestine, why?
Pretty bad, worst part is that Knesset has legitimized this, not like back home (a la Trumpism but Israel Version: Round 2)Finally, how severe is the issue?
Yes.Is this the dawn of fascism in a nuclear armed regional power or just Bibi being a crook?

Seriously, this is too far. it's time to kick all the ultranationalist camps out of power and re-establish liberal democracy in Israel.

You can hate a government and it's military without wishing ill on it's people. Just say you want the government overthrown, it's not that fucking hard.

Let's not have Israel at all. There should be no apartheid whatsoever, liberal or not.

So then where do the 9 million Israelis go? They live there now, and like it or not, they don’t deserve to be kicked out of their homes either. What’s the solution to the crisis?

It's a slow process, but the priority should be moving Palestinian families back to their own homes.
If a lack of homes is an issue, they could build more or something. A good portion of Israelis will probably leave because they don't want to live around Palestinians.
