delegitimization of the Supreme Court for at least a decade under Netanyahu’s leadership.
That campaign never had the best interests of democracy or the liberal constitutional order in mind, as it mendaciously claimed. Rather, undermining the top court, and constraining its ability to review executive action, is important to achieve this government’s desired policy outcomes. The fanatical prewar governing coalition has kept its eyes on the prize. These
parties want to cut down civil liberties, constrain the media and civil society, suppress or even disenfranchise Arab citizens, deepen the theocratic influence on Israeli public and private life. And the jewel in the crown: they want Israel to rule permanently over Palestinians in all occupied territories through brazen, institutionalized inequality forever.
