1/n Have been watching this Italian referendum on #JudicialReforms and the post failure assessments regarding Premier #GiorgiaMeloni and her right wing coalition. In the lead up to her election Iโ€™d taken at face value the portrayel in mainstream media of her โ€œfar right coalitionโ€ as gaining ground.
In reflection clearly the โ€œfar rightโ€ in #Italy right now bears little resemblance to what is far right here. Meloni appears to be more like what traditional conservatives used to be hereโ€ฆ

The contract signed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu & opposition legislator Benny #Gantz to form an #emergency #wartime #government includes a crucial line that will delay โ€” & could spell an end to โ€” controversial #JudicialReforms advanced by Netanyahu earlier this year.

"Exposing the extreme nature of some the demonstrators, groups of them were seen donning stickers that expressed support for Jewish terrorists such as Baruch Goldstein, who murdered 29 Palestinians in Hebron in 1994; Amiram Ben Uliel, who is in prison for the 2015 deadly firebombing of a Palestinian family in the West Bank village of Duma; extremist rabbi Meir Kahane; and former prime minister Yitzhak Rabinโ€™s assassin Yigal Amir."

The ongoing protests in #Israel are about #JudicialReforms and saving #Democracy, but deeper divisions are driven by shifts in ideology, including a push for a more religious definition of Israeli identity.

Liberals attempt to balance Jewish and democratic values has failed, with religious Zionists now exerting more influence in the country's institutions. This ideological shift has lasting future implications, despite Israel's foundation as a secular Zionist state.

Balancing Act Is Over: Israeli Protests Are Not About Democracy, But Ideology

@morgfair Still unclear if misunderstanding the meaning of "ethics" is an inheritable asset of the Gorsuch family or an issue of family education.

Guideline: Justices/ judges, who violate ethics norms, rules & values are potentially vulnerable to blackmail, compromising their impartiality & independence.

@Freedman Netanyahu is Israel's Trump โ€” with a couple more brain cells.

The difference: There's no "Netanyahu Tower" in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem or elsewhere harboring Russian mob bosses. (As far as known...)

Trumpโ€™s Russian Laundromat

How to use Trump Tower and other luxury high-rises to clean dirty money, run an international crime syndicate, and propel a failed real estate developer into the White House.

@black_intellect Which simply means Netanyahu hasn't given up on his shameless attempts to subvert Israel's judiciary & the #RuleOfLaw so he can evade the laws & justice.

Can't be any clearer, what ties brothers in crime Trump & Netanyahu...

Criminal is as criminal does.
