Over the past 30 years, to compensate for its loss of power at the ballot box, the left has transformed Israel’s legal fraternity into a means to control government policies and Knesset legislation. The Netanyahu government’s proposal to reform the judiciary represents the first real threat to their control over the levers of power.
In this week’s “Caroline Glick Show,” I discuss the nature of Israel’s legal system, and discuss how the left is speeding into a head-on collision with the State of Israel in its effort to maintain its control through the legal system. I explain who responsible outsiders and the heads of the opposition must act responsibly to pull the out-of-control lawyers from the brink before they bring down the country. Continued American Jewish support for Israel’s legal fraternity serves only to pour kerosene on the flames. American Jewish luminaries like Alan Dershowitz and Abe Foxman should use their voices to chide the voices on the left and in the legal fraternity calling for and moving towards civil war.
My guest in the studio this week was Naomi Kahn, the head of the NGO Regavim’s International Division. We discussed one of the critical issues that has suffered due to the stranglehold the radical left has on Israeli policy through the legal fraternity. That issue is the wholesale destruction of Jewish antiquities and heritage sites in Judea and Samaria conducted by the Palestinian Authority as an official policy.
The P.A.’s criminal efforts are guided and aided openly by the European Union and UNESCO, says Kahn. Kahn provides the grim details on the manner in which the P.A. and its allies are deliberately destroying the treasures of the ancient world to blot out Jewish history in ways even the Romans could never have cooked up.
If you want to understand the stakes of the current fight, and the toll the legal fraternity has taken on the record of Jewish history in Judea and Samaria—the cradle of Jewish civilization—you don’t want to miss this episode.
