Palestinians, as well as some left-wing Jews, are being suspended from studies, fired from jobs, or arrested at night — all because of social media posts.

      Yes, and he was deflecting and prolonging the trial. If he could gerrymander it, he would.

      A grade a, slick piece of shit. Sociopath.

        Gerrymandering isn’t a thing in Israel.

        The knesset (Israel’s only lesgislative body) uses party-list proportional voting, using closed party lists and the d’hont method for apportioning seats.

        Basically, each party publishes a list of candidates. As long as that party gets at least 3.25% of the vote, they’ll get a seat.

        On the plus side, everyone has a voice. On the minus side, it’s not hard for the crazies to get a seat at the table and an outsized voice due to having to make a governing coalition.

          He declared himself the only person to declare himself absentee (even if he were to die right now).

          That doesn’t mean his term won’t end after 4 years, or that the government can’t disband for elections.

          He still hasn’t become Arduan or Putin, which is why most of the violence in the protests was the government vs the people and not a mutual thing.
