Israel has a constitutional crisis, too.

Netanyahu made clear to Bar that, in the event of a constitutional crisis, he expects the Shin Bet chief to obey the prime minister, not the High Court. If Netanyahu indeed made such a demand, the very act of making it constitutes a serious criminal offense that warrants investigation.

Netanyahu repeatedly pressured Bar to issue a security decree that would effectively prevent the prime minister from testifying in his ongoing criminal trial. A draft of such an opinion, prepared by someone within Netanyahu’s circle, was passed to Bar for signature – but he refused.

Netanyahu asked Bar to deploy the Shin Bet’s surveillance tools against Israeli citizens – specifically, the leaders of the 2023 protest movement against the government’s judicial overhaul – citing alleged “subversion.” In so doing, he disregarded the Shin Bet’s own criteria for deploying its powers in such cases, including the balance between preventing subversion and upholding the rights to protest and free expression, as well as the principle of keeping the Shin Bet out of the political arena.

Netanyahu delivered these requests orally, at the end of work meetings, after sending out his military secretary and the stenographer operating the recording device – in an apparent effort to avoid documentation.

Bar sent a letter to Netanyahu and Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs, in which he detailed the national security importance of establishing a state commission of inquiry into the events surrounding Hamas’s October 7 invasion and massacre – not only because it would be the right thing to do from a governance standpoint, but because the security establishment requires such a process to draw conclusions and implement structural reforms in doctrine and operations. Netanyahu continues insistently to resist such a probe.



Times also has an unofficial translation of the public portion of Ronen Bar's affidavit regarding Netanyahu.

These are the same people, funded by the same billionaires and social media who have been leading the charge in the US. There is a huge overlap.

This! It's all the same billionaire takeover. Hopefully, the citizens of the world put 2 and 2 together before it's too late.

Who cares? Seriously, a puny little annoying gnat of a country whose motto is "Always Be The Victim".

Because that puny little country is basically the testing ground for the weapons they will use to keep us all in line, or kill us all, much like the Palestinians as climate change continues to escalate, resources get more scarce, more land becomes unlivable, and more governments turn to fascism as capitalism continues to fall apart.

The Supreme Court regularly issues rules, and also controls who sits on the Supreme Court.

It is surprising to realize that in many ways Netanyahu reflects a more moderate position in Israeli. Many of the high ranking politicians want him to "genocide harder" and that includes a significant percentage of the Israeli population that when last polled, claimed he wasn't using enough force on Gaza.

Scary.
