Hi,
The Reasonability Law (which cancels the Reasonability argument by Bagatz) has passed today. Making it the 2nd law of the judicial reform.
29th weeks of protests against the reform in Kaplan, the march to Jerusalem, and the protests in the capital of Israel did not stop the government from passing the law.
But the protests did not stop, and it will not stop. The rest of the day and the evening were full of protests around Israel as the police reactions became more and more violent.
That is after the incapacity law had passed 4 months ago. This law allows the PM to keep functions even if he is incapable to so (physically or mentally). Only if the PM, the government (with a majority of 75%), or the Knesset (with 90 KM majority) can do so. Bagatz (Israel Supreme Court) will not be able to do it. For my opinion a majority of 64 (out of 120) can pass a law that only 90 KM can cancel…
In march, the Histadrut (Israel’s national workers organization) declared on strike, which stopped the government for a while. Yesterday, the Businessman declared on Strike, which did not change the result.
But July of Resistence had not yet ended. The judicial reform has many more laws it can pass. If we think things are now bad, after those 2 laws had passed, it might get even worse, and it is on us to stop it.
Take Care

Fire camps at Kaplan Street and the Democracy Square
A government which prevents public transportation cannot complain on freedom of transportation abuse
A government passing a law to allow one sector not to the IDF, can complain about duty servants stopping from volunteering
A government who supports house burners cannot complain on disturbing public order.
A government who changes the system of government cannot complain on abusing the democracy
