    This is interesting, and it is bad as it seems to be affecting all aspects of Israeli culture and work. Even the military has called for strikes and not showing up.

    Would be curious for Yoni to provide some input on this one. Since I don't watch the news, I am ignorant on the topic.

    One of the most disturbing things about this is the legislation they are trying to pass that gives the government the power to override their Supreme Court…

    One thing’s certain they’ve pissed off the entire country.

    I've been watching this develop over the last few months but I just don't know enough about internal Israeli politics and their judicial system to come to an informed opinion. I certainly am in no position to express one.

    Seems a little over the top, but it ain't my yard.

    The situation is still dangerous, according to Times of Israel:

    IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi issues a public letter addressed to all active and reserve servicemen, saying that Israel “has never known such days of external threats combining with an internal storm.”

    “This is a time for responsibility,” he writes amid huge nationwide protests following the firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

    Indeed...the same type protests / scenario is happening in France as well.

    I believe the French are protesting the changing of the retirement age.

    If you are going to institute big societal changes, don’t do it in the sping. College kids are looking to not go to class, people are fed up with being inside all spring. No real problem getting people to mobilize by skipping school or crappy jobs.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.
