'Netanyahu showed what it takes to win as a conservative, or as any kind of anti-establishment politician, left or right.'
The judicial reform that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu passed through the Knesset this week was the mildest change, barring Israel’s Supreme Court justices from making up their own ideas of “reasonable” government policy.
He showed a willingness to compromise, too, breaking up his reform package into separate proposals, and slowing down the legislative process to allow for talks. When the opposition balked, he did what his voters sent him there to do. Netanyahu also stood up to global pressure. U.S. President Joe Biden isolated Netanyahu as if he were a tin pot tyrant, rather than a democratically-elected leader.
This combination of pressures is what many observers likened to the “color revolutions” that have toppled governments in former Soviet Republics . Like Trump, who had to be escorted to a White House bunker as the mob attacked, Netanyahu and his wife were subject to threats and assaults by mobs, as were other legislators.
