[IsraelTimes] 10,000 rally outside court in Jerusalem ahead of crucial hearings; organizer says there’ll be ’chaos’ if judges nullify legislation; Smotrich: Don’t you dare invalidate Basic Laws Thousands of government supporters rallied Thursday evening outside the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, encouraging the coalition to continue its push to weaken the judiciary ahead of crucial High Court of Justice hearings on the divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... judicial overhaul. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other ministers at the protest warned the High Court against striking down part of the coalition’s legislative package after the hearings, with Smotrich telling Chief Justice Esther Hayut that she had better not "dare" to overturn the law. There were no official turnout figures, but some 10,000 people were estimated to attend the protest, lower than at previous pro-government demonstrations and far lower than the mass anti-overhaul rallies held in Tel Aviv every week. Exposing the extreme nature of some the demonstrators, groups of them were seen donning stickers that expressed support for Jewish bully boyz such as Baruch Goldstein, who murdered 29 Paleostinians in Hebron in 1994; Amiram Ben Uliel, who is in prison for the 2015 deadly Molotov cocktailing of a Paleostinian family in the West Bank village of Duma; bad boy rabbi Meir Kahane; and former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassin Yigal Amir.
