 לא הסתם אנחנו עושים בחירות הדרך שבא מיעוט לקבל החראות בקלפי בין צעות של תונרות לא באמצעות חמש עשרה שופטים שהם חושבים שהם יכולים לעשות מה שהם רוצים ולא לתת הדין לבוכיר איפה שתיגר את המלדתי איפה שירד? שפקד יאללה מה לחזיים בואו נבשר גם היום אתה פשיר לי לחגוש שלנו ועושים מה לחזיים כאגי שירד שפקד מש fearful מה להתעבד ולילד thee רק טלוי זה פתוח חלטה פשיר ללדתי ישראל ללדתי זה פי משפט ישראל נהי whatever whatever מילה חלטה חלטה only check and balance on Israel's somewhat fiscal system of democracy. Israel doesn't have a single constitutional document, but rather a series of basic laws which set out some of the fundamental principles of the state. And if these reforms are passed, the ability of the judiciary to be able to strike those down is going to be it best extremely weakened. Worth pointing out as well that you can see the protesters floating in from all over Israel. As I mentioned, there is a small counter-protest 100 meters across from me and standing and those people are in favor of the reform saying that basically the independence and the powers of the judiciary and the Supreme Court have gone too far and some kind of rectification or modification such as the ones being proposed are as necessary, but to point out the numbers, we're talking about probably 40 people fortified with border police in all directions to keep themselves from the other protesters versus I'm not sure what the turnout has been reported on as yet for probably thousands or tens of thousands of people. It's the beginning of a slippery slope, we are comparing ourselves to what happened in Hungary about five years ago and that's how it started over there and pretty quickly changed to academia's whole university having to move to one famous example of one university actually moving to Austria but really it's, the moment people are afraid to say what they think, the academia cannot function anymore, people leave if they can, the better people leave. Are you worried that the good standing of Hebrew university, these ready universities has been a plummet because of these? Yes, for sure, people like me, like my friends will not want to stay here, we will not stay in a non-democratic state. Do you already see your colleagues in the university leaving? Yes, actually I have a friend who is a professor in Weitzman who took a leave of absence, is it related or not but he has left for now, so people are responding very badly. But it's just to begin, most of us are still hoping that the sense will return and people will understand that this is something that's going to hurt everybody, not just the opposition. I came back one month ago from Birmingham, from Alimoud night with a lot of good Jews and half of our people are overseas and they have to understand that we are even a very big crisis and we need them, we really need them in this moment. The form of Judaism that is forming now in Israel becoming less and less acceptable for many people, we feel ashamed, we feel ashamed right now, many of us to be Israelis. We will not stay here to keep your country, if this is the form of Judaism, it's going to flourish in here. Have you experienced anti-Israelism yourself already because of this? I feel very deep anti-Israel, feeling inside me and among my brothers, I don't need others to tell me, I don't need to be the S, we are not going to support more even though I love Roger Waters songs, I'm not going to support him today because this is my country. And I love it and I have to fight it, not to fight against it. My name is Dror, I'm living in Jerusalem. It's not a reform, it's an anti-democratic revolution, tries to say that the people itself, the nation itself has outmost value as if the nation itself is God. And I'm here to say that this is an idolatry, this is not Judaism, most important revelation of God is justice. And our government today is non-Jewish government because it is against justice, it is against the justice of God. Do you think among the religious community and Judaism there's a lot of people feel the same way, a lot of opposition? No, unfortunately there is a deep mistake in Israel as if democracy and Judaism is vice versa. The challenge is to explain to the Israelis, national Zionism forgot that Judaism is much deeper message than the nation itself. אני חושבת שהקהילה הגיעה תהיה מהקהילות הראשונות שישלמו את המכיר על החוקים החדשים, כי את הממשלה מנהלת חבורה של אומופובים, שמעוניין את לפגוע באפשרות שלהם לעשות פונדקאות בישראל, שנוצרה רק בשנה האחרונה ותמשיך לפגוע בהזכויות שלהם גם בהמשך את המעט שהם הצליחו לעשי. אני יכולה להגיד לך שהקהילה הגיעה בהתחלה הפחדו לדבר בהפגנות למשל, עכשיו הם מתחילים להתעורר. אני חושבת שהם פוחדים ובצדק. אני חושבת שהראשון של היו של הפגוע שבאנגה של המכיר,我說 that independent judiciary is an essential part of the genius of American democracy, which he says is shared by Israel and that building consensus around fundamental changes to society is vital towards establishing support for them. So it's sort of a veiled criticism of Israel's move towards the system, rapid change in the system of governance, סיסטמה גרוביננט, שלא היה ספורטי רפררנדם או אולקטיון או כל kinds of direct democracy from Israel citizens. We've seen a lot of interesting groups turn out to the protest here. We spoke to some religious Jews, members of the LGBT community. We spoke to some high-tech workers. We spoke to academics, lots and lots of academics in particular concerned about how these reforms could impact the freedom of speech in Israel and by proxy Israel standing not only in the international community, but specifically in the academic world. I hope this video was interesting.
