Israel’s genocide has mutated Zionism into political obscenity
Israel this week passed deplorable laws…
Netanyahu buys political loyalty with controversial legislation ahead of election
The most politically charged element of the package was legislation that enshrines the mass evasion of ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, youth from military service. While Israeli law requires all 18-year-olds to serve, ultra-Orthodox men have long been exempted under historic arrangements the Supreme Court has repeatedly struck down.
The draft-related laws are only one piece of a broader coalition trade-off. Ultra-Orthodox parties supported several of Netanyahu’s own priorities, including legislation curbing the authority of the attorney general, a key component of the government’s broader judicial overhaul. The measure could allow the government to override legal interpretations and potentially reopen efforts to remove Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara – an attempt blocked by the Supreme Court so far.
A separate bill overhauling broadcasting regulation, which critics say expands government influence over the media and threatens the freedom of the press, also passed this week, as did legislation expanding gender-segregated academic programs. The latter drew sharp denunciation from universities and women’s groups, who argue it excludes women, undermines equality and threatens academic standards.
