  1. Why do you post headline suspend when it's just a stall to con the protestors. Doing your bit for the right wing in Isreal. Only reason this guy is in charge is like the GOP in US. They could only elect a head of congress by caving in to every lunatic right winger who believes in white supremecy, bigotry, sexism… just like in Israel, Russia… and every other wanna be dictator using fake 'nationalism' to terrorize their way to power

  2. We need this kind of protest to ban assault weapons and abortion.

  3. Too many dictators in this world. Every country deserves democracy. I also wish Israel would leave the Palestinians would be left alone on their land. If any people should understand it would be Israeli's.

  4. Netanyahu is just hoping people would forget about it then he would quietly push through with the overhaul again.

  5. Anyone besides me see Trump watching all this and taking notes?

  6. BREAKING: Democrat mega donor Sam Bankman-Fried is charged with $40M bribery of government officials 😳

  7. This gives me hope! The people are standing up for their Democracy.

  8. The world needs to replace all leaders that have no interest in peace.

  9. How does one leave a country BLACK but comes back WHITE?

  10. How does this guy still hold power. He's aky been a war monger.

  11. Can anyone explain what does he plan to do with this "Judicial Overhaul" actually mean!?

  12. 'Reform' usually implies improvement.
    This is just a power grab.

  13. The headline in this report is incorrect.
    There is an obvious difference between suspending/ceasing something and just pausing it.
    Also why would 2 million Palestinian citizens of Israel be required to use a separate Military court system, unless Israel was an apartheid state?

  14. We should all stand for equality for Jewish people everywhere. We should also all stand united for equality for the Palestinian people and against Zionists. Zionists are Nazis, not unlike the American Republicans supporting their decades of occupation, oppression, murder and ethnic cleansing genocide.

  15. Israel is just another brutal nation and of course its leader would try to weaken a system of checks and balances .

  16. So he’s just pausing it 🤦‍♂️ how does that make anyone happy!

  17. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
