Israel’s Supreme Court on Monday struck down a key component of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s contentious judicial overhaul, a decision that threatens to reopen the fissures in Israeli society that preceded the country’s ongoing war against Hamas.
Those divisions were largely been put aside while the country focuses on the war, which was triggered by a bloody cross-border attack by Hamas. Monday’s court decision could reignite those tensions, which sparked months of mass protests against the government and had rattled the cohesion of the powerful military.
…
In Monday’s 8-7 majority decision, the court narrowly voted to overturn a law passed in July that prevents judges from overturning government decisions they deem “unreasonable.”
The country was literally established by extreme right-wing zionist ideals. Read the book “The 100 Years War on Palestine.”
No, it was established because the Allies didn’t particularly want a Jewish population in their countries even after WW2.
So they “gave” them Israel, with the bonus of knowing it would be a magnet for religious attacks due to its location.
So now to avoid WW3, the world powers had a place for proxy wars that also happened to have an insane amount of fossil fuels and easily bribable governments.
The whole thing was/is fucked. And generations of people have been caught in the crossfire, and we’re still looking at WW3.
Plus Israel now has those nukes they won’t admit to openly…
“Gave” is an interesting choice of wording, considering.
But please, do go on.
Israel has had nukes for a long time, presumably tech gifted by the Americans that they have bent over a barrel.
I have a vague memory that apartheid South Africa hooked them up with the bomb.
