Transnational leftist scum pushing NWO fascism.
Is this not what they voted for?
They voted leftard. Tel Aviv is where they put all the crazies.
Could you give those of us not familiar with this situation a brief run down?
Is the new government conservative or liberal, and what of the protestors?
Conservative, and wants to reform the court system to reduce the hard left bent and excessive activism of the judiciary. The Leftards are therefore out in force. They like their hard-left activist courts.
LOSERS!
PLM?
You gotta wonder...
Caroline Glick, an honest Israeli news commentator explains the current situation quite well.

What are the powers of the Prime Minister vs. the President?
President serves for a fixed term, and approves the government coalition proposed by the victorious parties. Other than that, he shows up to cut ribbons, get awards, and entertain foreign dignitaries. The Prime Minister is the head of the government coalition, and has executive power, but only so long as his coalition stays together, or remains viable. If enough parties leave his coalition so that he doesn’t have a majority of the seats in the Knesset, then elections are held ahead of schedule, and a new coalition government is formed. It’s similar to the British parliamentary system, except their parliament members represent specific geographical districts, and Israeli knesset members are party members who have won mandates for their party in the election, so the top ranking party members get seats, until they run out of mandates. There are 120 knesset seats, so to form a government you need a coalition of 61 at minimum. If you lose your magic 61-member coalition, the government is dissolved, as stated above. Small parties in this system have a lot of power, if they’re in the government and the government coalition has a thin 61 majority. I think the British geographically-tied parliamentary system is better. Politics should be local. Often, however, different parties have power bases in specific regions, so it amounts to the same thing.
As Glick explains, Israel has it’s own Deep State, and they won’t give up power without a fight.
The Deep State is global, they are the same players across the globe.
