‘Israel Has Transformed Into a Dictatorship’
2021-12-17
Israeli politicians do enjoy their hyperbole.
[GatesOfVienna] In the following video an Ethiopian Jew who is a member of the Knesset in Israel describes the draconian totalitarian laws that have recently been enacted by the new leftist government, ostensibly in response to the latest surge of the Eternal Corona.

Many thanks to RY for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

Video transcript:


00:01 Shalom. It’s 4:00am, on Friday.
00:08 Like thieves in the night,
00:13 right now, they pass a draconian legislation...
00:18 One can argue that Israel has been transformed into a police state.
00:23 In fact, it’s the Knesset coalition, members of Meretz, Labor party,
00:27 all the progressive Left, liberal democrats —
00:31 they pass a draconian law stating that it’s possible to arrest an Israeli citizen in the street,
00:36 to enter his/her home without a police warrant,
00:39 and to transform Israel into a dictatorship.
00:43 Now, after 73 years since Israel’s independence,
00:48 officially, owing to the Left, Israel has transformed into a dictatorship.
00:54 This is the ’contribution’ of this Knesset,
00:57 that such a law is passed in the Israeli Knesset, by Meretz, and the Labor Party.
01:01 They enact this cruel legislation against the citizens of Israel.

I’m not subtle, dear Vespasian Ebboting9735, so you need an emoticon ;-) or a LOL to let me know things like that.

Friendly teasing is good. :-)

#14  But apparently it's not enough of a dictatorship to stop what really needs to be stopped:

#12  #10 - blanket statements are usually wrong in the exceptions, but the American Democrat Party Jewish constituency, they seem to value left wing liberalism over Jewishness

#3  Former Ranburg commenter, Gee I wonder who that could be ?
URGENT: A huge Israeli study shows natural Covid immunity is far superior to the vaccine-generated kind
And getting vaccinated if you have natural immunity appears basically useless.

Finally, the study offered a disturbing signal that vaccination may ultimately interfere with the development of lasting immunity in people who are infected after being vaccinated. (An excerpt)
