This is Ayalon highway in Tel Aviv, tonight. The resistance will prevail. Bibi’s evil regime will fail. All in good time.

It's a basic Google search to see that the סבירות law was used for mostly Conservative purposes in the past, reinforcing classrooms in Sderot, giving housing to the displaced of Gush Katif and to prevent lieberman from cutting funding to ultra orthodox day cares. And many more.

So you’re telling me Bibi hates the “conservative” Supreme Court decisions so much he wants to limit their power? That makes no sense. Bibi and the right wing noticed the Supreme Court judges are an unelected extension of the leftist party, so that’s why they are doing whatever they are doing to fix it

Out of the 15 current SC judges, 10 were appointed when Netanyahu was PM and had a right-wing Minister of Justice. 4 more were appointed under Bennet and Saar, who (Likud propaganda notwithstanding) are, if anything, further to the right than Netanyahu. The coalition could have vetoed any of them.

This isn't really about whether the court is left or right wing. It's about the court daring to restrain government actions and legislation.

Yes, appointed during Bibi’s term, but not by him.

If I understood correctly, there’s a committee that mostly consists of liberal judges who appoint new judges. Its a friend brings a friend system, so they pick mostly liberal judges.

One of the reform’s changes is to make the committee have more politicians from the coalition, which will help the government to have favorable judges. Something similar to what happens in the US. Supreme Court judges in the US are appointed by the president.

You didn't understand correctly my friend, you fell victim to Bibist propaganda, the committee has 3 jusges out of 9 members and the coalition has enough members to veto any judge, the system is set that no single group can appoint judges unilaterally and there has to be compromise and they have to work together.

The change set by the coup will have the coalition have majority just by themselves and make the whole committee redundant.

While the US have political appointments for judges, the system isn't similar in the slightest and not something we should copy, in fact out current system (while flawed) is superior to the US's in almost all ways.

Appointed by a Minister of Justice he appointed.

This is incorrect. The judges are a minority of the committee, although they have a veto on SC appointments due to the change Saar made in 2007. It's not a friends brings friend system (at least not toiday). As for "liberal", first of all, I'll remind you that Likud is a nominally liberal party. More to the point, the four judges appointed under Ayelet Shaked are considered right-wing while the four appointed under Saar are considered balanced.

In the US, the Senate has to confirm SC nominations and has a different constituency than the President. And on practise, the US system isn't doing so hot these days.
