JERUSALEM — Ask Israelis what has taken hold of their country — which has been paralyzed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “legislative blitz” and the massive protests it has triggered — and they’re more likely to reply with a sound than with an actual word. A grunt, or a long, drifting whistle. Very often, a deep sigh. A nervous titter accompanied by a shrug.

For most Israelis, there are no words to describe the consuming fear that, as former Mossad director Tamir Pardo puts it, the country is “on the verge of collapse.” He says his fellow citizens stand at the very precipice of “the total destruction of the state of Israel.”

Former PM Ehud Barak calls Netanyahu’s project “the assassination of the Declaration of Independence, which will turn Israel into a dictatorship.” If a government uses the tools of democratic rule to “destroy it from within,” Barak says, Israelis must prepare to resist. “It is not just the right of citizens; it is, in my judgment, the obligation of citizens to turn unfortunately toward civil disobedience.”

Israelis voted in a fairly placid election on Nov. 1, the fifth successive vote since 2019, when a then-recently indicted Netanyahu lost his last functional coalition. The campaign focused on inflation and post-pandemic cost-of-living issues. Now, stunned and scared, they’re making a run on foreign passports “in case Israel is no longer a viable place to live,” an Israeli television channel explained.

I don't know enough about their politics to understand why Netanyahu's plan will render the judicial branch obsolete but whatever it is, it doesn't sound like a good idea.

“ Half a million Israelis took to the streets in the tenth consecutive week of protests against plans by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu to overhaul the country’s judicial system, organizers claimed. …. They carried Israeli flags and chanted slogans including “Israel will not be a dictatorship ”

Israel is a tiny country so 1/2 million protesting in the street is comparable to about 18 million people protesting in the US.
