Utdrag:
Om Netanyahu:
"We’ve
heard that Netanyahu is a true democrat, amid quotations from the past
in which he enthusiastically defended the independence of the courts.
Levin, meanwhile, has been portrayed as someone who sat in a forest
hideout for 20 years working on a bomb to destroy democracy. But these
depictions conceal the truth: Netanyahu is an authoritarian leader,
heart and soul.
He palled around with populists like Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, and maintained close relationships with shameless dictators like Orbán and Vladimir Putin.
The judicial overhaul we’ve been experiencing for nearly seven months
is just the tip of a long process that has been pursued – fortunately
for us – incautiously. There has been plenty of strutting, hubris and
eye-poking, but the process has been Netanyahu’s goal for many years,
even before he was indicted."
Om utdannelse:
"Forgive us, Israeli children, for we have been inattentive. The struggle over education has been neglected; it’s as if the ultra-Orthodox schools
were part of a different country. The religious-Zionist community has
an independent education system, and if that weren’t enough, there’s the
long tradition of religious-Zionist politicians demanding the education
portfolio in order to influence children of secular families as well."

Konklusjon:
Leseverdig informasjon, med tydeliggjøring av en prosess som har pågått lenge.
Og om Netanyahus langsiktige plan, samt om et flerdelt skolevesen.
