Israel’s New Justice Minister

NYT: “For Ms. Shaked, a former computer engineer, the main thing is “to strengthen the Jewish identity” of Israel…”

“That translates, in policy terms, into promoting Israeli annexation of most of the occupied West Bank and ousting African asylum-seekers. It means curtailing the power of the Supreme Court, giving politicians more sway over judicial appointments and prohibiting foreign funding of advocacy groups — which could put the main internal critics of Israeli actions out of business. And it entails a “nationality bill” that many see as disenfranchising Israel’s Arab minority, about 20 percent of the population.”

Would that America do something like this. I particularly like the bit about ousting asylum-seekers and running the country according to the needs of its majority.

Here’s another area where America should follow Israel’s example: Israeli government to refugees: Go back to Africa or go to prison
