Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Justice of Israel held an open, televised debate of the recent modification of a Basic Law (part of a future Constitution). My impression is that the judges know that they cannot repeal the legally approved legislation, however horrible it may be in their view.
The opponents voiced fears of the eventual long-term consequences, but the judges said that they cannot deal with eventualities, they judge only facts.
The most ridiculous of the speakers was "Adam, Teva, etc." environmental organization, which said the new law will make impossible the elimination of micro-elements from drinking water.
The most serious was the military exposition that European countries are looking for a case to invalidate Israel's system of justice, so they can start jailing Israelis for war crimes. They are not doing that because the Israeli system is so severe and defends so effectively Palestinian terrorists. Should happen that a soldier inadvertently kills one and is not immediately jailed, the Europeans will declare it a war crime and start taking measures against Israel. They hate us that much. And more.
