Israel’s Judicial Reform Shows Growing Left-Right Divide Among Jews: "The success of the Israeli reforms could potentially have a cascade effect... heralding a major blow for proponents of deep-state governance everywhere"

Israel's Judicial Reform Shows Growing Left-Right Divide ...

The Israeli government last week passed preliminary approval for the nation’s hotly contested judicial reforms. For the first time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a coalition unanimous in its decision to pursue reforms, including two articulate, determined partners in the figures of Yariv Levin and Simcha Rothman, the current Minister of Justice and the head of the Israeli parliament (Knesset) Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, respectively.

Predictably, the 63-47 vote to advance the proposed reforms immediately drew large numbers of left-leaning Israeli protestors into the streets. If the reforms reach final approval, they would allow for a simple legislative majority to reject Supreme Court decisions that do not reflect the will of the people, as represented by their elected officials. Considering that since the late 1970s, most Israelis have tended to vote for right-wing or center-right parties, the Israeli left is facing the threat of losing a major component of its continued stronghold over the country’s institutions.

This threat is also the reason these reforms have drawn much interest from other corners of the world, including, recently, from U.S. President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The success of the Israeli reforms could potentially have a cascade effect internationally, showing that a progressive justice system could, indeed, be reined in, and heralding a major blow for proponents of deep-state governance everywhere.

The global significance of the Israeli reforms also helps to underscore another important trend noticed by numerous commentators in recent years: that political liberalism and economic globalization undermine national and religious loyalties in the name of ideological affiliations. https://chroniclesmagazine.org/web/israels-judicial-reform-shows-growing-left-right-divide-among-jews/]

"Well, 'either one gives up the scapular or they give up immodesty'. The point is they cannot coexist."

By Mary's Secretary In my book The Practice of the Presence of Mary: To Live and Die with Mary , I dedicated Part II to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Her scapular (fitting as Her feast is approaching), and I specifically mentioned how the scapular and spaghetti straps DO NOT go together. What I mean by that is I have noticed that those in the Church who DO NOT follow the Catholic dress code typically aren’t the ones wearing the scapular. I went on to say that modesty and the scapular go together and if you ever were immodest in dress, the scapular, being Our Lady’s sacramental that it is, gives one the grace to BECOME modest. I can attest to this in my own life. Only after I was enrolled in the scapular did I begin, little by little, become modest. It’s a process. Kind of like the rosary quote, “one either gives up the sin or they give up the rosary.” Well, “either one gives up the scapular or they give up immodesty”. The point is they cannot coexist. In fact...

To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...
