„Veteran Israeli reporter Noga Tarnopolsky says Israel’s democratic institutions are “crumbling”.“

Not crumbling but in an unprecedented clash between the supreme courte and the government that can lead to a constitutonal crisis and a serious danger to the liberal democracy.

A very good video too in the way it explains the dynamics between the sides inside Israel. Not a civil war in the classic way but kind of a non-violent one.

The Shin Bet is perceived here as the guardian of democracy against Netanyahu's actions and as one of the most crucial protectors of Israeli citizens' security. Its interactions with terrorists, suspects, or other Palestinians (corruption does exist) remain largely outside the public consciousness, much like the US military's actions in Iraq are for American citizens.

Looks like they smashed the camera to not be caught. This may get the film more attention.

@Raze Horrible. 

They need the media blackout to cover for what they’re doing.

When does it become genocide? Isn’t Gaza currently under siege being starved?

Is the West (who has the power to stop this) going to wait for Palestinians to die off slowly through malnutrition and untreated diseases?

Does it even register to them what is happening? It seems that when they do, their only way of acknowledging this is by saying whoopsie, we should have done something sooner.

@zazen She can funtasize how much she want (I bet she didn't visited here even once) but Israel is divided into two Jewish countries.

WTF. I just watched this film recently too.

You will not hear it from Al Jazeera.

Hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza are protesting against Hamas and for peace.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g71lk09npo

They have been controlled for years by extreme right-wing, worse than Ben Gvir, terrorists (Hamas), who play with their lives and receive significant international support through manipulation.

But unlike Israel who is currently fight to maintain its democracy, Gaza don’t have a liberal party to oppose Hamas, they are literally stuck between their extremists and Israel's extremists.
