Israel’s judicial reform strengthens democracy – opinion – The power of the Supreme Court to mold legislation goes far beyond the self-conferred authority to annul laws of the Knesset. | The Jerusalem Post

Leading opponents of the judicial reforms proposed by Justice Minister Yariv Levin have, with the assistance of a fully enlisted media, sanctimoniously cloaked themselves with the mantle of the protectors of democracy and have refused to engage in any serious, open-minded discussions. Their hysterical and unfounded claims about the reforms, threats of violence and civil uprisings, calls for shutting down the country and horrific comparisons to the Nazis, belie any fidelity to democratic norms and principles.
