The State of Israel Needs Experienced Fearless Leaders

One of the reasons I'm voting for HaYamin HeChadash, The New Right is because I want them to have enough seats in the Knesset so that the Likud will have to give Naftali Bennett the Defense Ministry. The worst thing for the State of Israel would be for Netanyahu to continue holding multiple ministries, including Defense, and even worse than that would be for him to invite the Four-Headed Monster Party aka Blue and White to join a massive Center coalition and crown one of their failed wimpy IDF heads with the Defense Ministry.

I hope you know enough Hebrew to get the message from this campaign video by The New Right. The message is that it was only due to Bennett's pressure on Benny Gantz, then IDF Chief of Staff, and Bogie Ya'alon, then Defense Minister, that the army put together an operative plan to destroy the terrorist tunnels in the south. The clip quotes actual security cabinet meetings to prove it.



An important theme of the New Right campaign is to give them your vote so that Ayelet Shaked can continue rehabilitating the Israeli Judicial System and Naftali Bennett can take charge of Security/Defense.

Judges aren't Gods- Israeli Judicial System Unjust

electionloomis

I was raised in the United States which has a governmental principle very foreign to the Israeli system. It's called "Balance of Power-Checks & Balances," and in theory at least there must always be agreement between two out of the three branches of the government:

Executive
Judiciary
Legislative

OK, I know that recently the US President Barack Hussein Obama has used something called "Executive Privilege" to dictate policies without going through normal governmental processes, but I'm not getting into that right now. When I learned how the government works a half a century ago, there was no such thing taught to us in Social Studies class.

Inside the Israeli Supreme Court Building

One Thing I'm pretty sure still exists is that the judges are supposed to decide according to law, and when lawyers and judges explain cases to a jury they are supposed to make sure that the jury understands the law and not decides just according to personal whim and ideology.

In Israel, we have a very serious dual problem with the Judicial branch of goverment in that not only do the judges choose judges, but they have a strong Leftist ideology and believe that their job is to enforce their ideology on the country:

Supreme Court President Miriam Naor responded on Sunday, accusing Erdan of encroaching on the independence of Israel's judicial branch while attempting to violate "the principle of a judge's personal independence, which is a central tenet of a democratic regime*." (Jerusalem Post) (*emphasis mine)

I find Naor's statement totally outrageous. There is no such principle as "personal independence" for judges' decisions in the concept of democracy. That's anarchy when a  judge judges according to his/her personal opinion and ideology, rather than law. The job of a judge is to enforce the law through the courts, not make law according to arbitrary individual/personal opinions.

Democracy is the rule of the people who elect legislators who are in charge of making laws. And there were just recently elections in Israel. One of the issues that brought votes to the Likud and Bayit Yehudi was just that problem, the Leftist hold on the Judiciary here in Israel.  The people, the voters, the citizens of the State of Israel do not want judges who override the law and go against the democratically legislature aka the Knesset.  What's anti-democratic in Israel is the way the judges make decisions, like Supreme Court President Miriam Naor.
