Netanyahu Let the Dogs Out

“In the past few days, some 250 officers from the Military Intelligence’s Special Operations Division have signed a public letter stating that “they would stop showing up for duty” should the government proceed with its autocratic judicial overhaul, The Times of Israel reported. They added their voices to ‘groups of pilots, tankists, submariners, sailors and other special forces who have penned similar letters.’ Israel has never experienced a Palestinian intifada, a Jewish settler intifada and an Israeli citizen judicial intifada all at once. But that’s begun to unfold since Netanyahu’s far-right government took office.” Thomas Freidman sums up the threat to Israel’s democracy (and more) in the NYT (Gift Article): Netanyahu Is Shattering Israeli Society.
