Danger in Tel Aviv? Danger in Isreal? Is the nation teetering into falling into the hands of Benjamin Netanyahu?
The nation boiled over yesterday with people pouring into the streets to protest Prime Minister Netanyahu's firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, after he spoke out against the overhaul of the judiciary system.
It is the judiciary overhaul that has the people angry. And when somebody finally stands up against the changes, as Gallant did, they get fired? If the people fear the overhaul is designed to give Netanyahu autocratic control, the silencing of voices that speak against it only furthers their concern. If you disagree with a dictator, yes, that's the way it works. If dissent is not allowed, that's the way it works. But, it shouldn't be that way.
Just as we worry about the possibility of autocratic rule taking over America, so should we be concerned about it possibly happening in Israel.
