Author of The Broken Covenant: Netanyahu and Israeli Democracy. Exploring the threats to Israeli democracy, Jewish identity, and responsible leadership.
A vote meant to be secret has become one of the most controversial political moments in Israel’s recent history.
Reports alleging pressure on lawmakers during the State Comptroller election are raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and the independence of institutions meant to oversee the government itself.
With Netanyahu’s personal lawyer now leading that office, critics are questioning whether democratic safeguards are being weakened from within.

After a chaotic vote, Netanyahu’s personal lawyer was elected State Comptroller — despite allegations that lawmakers were pressured during what was supposed to be a secret ballot process.
Critics say the incident raises serious questions about judicial independence, political influence, and the future of democratic oversight in Israel.
Where does reform end — and control begin?

@DoesntM60801@davidnour@CENTCOM@brithume Actually, you are mistaken. If America would finish the job Iran would be in a position to negotiate seriously. The Gulf States are holding America back and giving into Iranian blackmail. The free world must grow a backbone and be more determined than the IRGC & the Mullahs!
@MarkJCarney If you were serious you would have the RCMP arrest the anti-semitic protestors when they break the law and ensure that the justice system actually prosecute these activists.
A growing debate is unfolding inside Israel over the balance between elected power and judicial oversight.
New legislative proposals could weaken the Attorney General’s authority and make investigations into senior elected officials more difficult to pursue.
Supporters see reform. Critics see a dangerous concentration of power.
As tensions rise, one question remains at the centre of the debate:
what happens when institutional checks begin to fade?

Israel’s political battle over judicial power is intensifying.
Newly advanced bills could significantly weaken the authority of the Attorney General, while also making criminal investigations into senior politicians more difficult to launch.
Supporters argue the reforms strengthen elected leadership. Critics warn they could erode key democratic checks and concentrate more power within the executive branch.
The debate is no longer just about policy — it’s about the balance of power itself.

50,000 troops in a zone meant to have far fewer?

With reports claiming troop levels may exceed limits set under the 1979 peace agreement, concerns are rising over regional stability and whether warning signs are being ignored once again.
What’s really happening in Sinai — and what could it mean for Israel’s security?

@CrimeLdn Helen Mirren represents all that is good about people and the shouting anti-semite in the video represents those who love to hate people who support the State of Israel for that reason only.
Power in politics isn’t always loud—it’s often strategic, consistent, and deeply rooted.
The “Haredi Bargain” reveals how loyalty, influence, and long-term priorities shape decisions behind the scenes… but at what cost for the future?
Is this sustainable—or just delayed consequences?

@StarrJpost Nothing will be done because Carney values the support of the now 2,000,000+ Muslims in Canada who have done little for Canada over the long-established 400,000 Canadian Jews who have been instrumental in Canada's history.
