The Rabbi's Opinion on the Legal Revolution

I have explained this clearly in several places. As is the custom of reform advocates, you point out the difficulties and failures that necessitate reform. I agree. But the question is whether the proposed reform is the right one, or whether another solution should be adopted. What is important for this question is the consequences of the reform, not the problems that require reform. The move the coalition is leading is atrocious, as is its path on almost all issues. Not because there are no problems in the judicial system. There are, and I have written about them more than once. But their reform shows that they are not really interested in the judicial system or the state. It's like killing a fly with a cannon. You will kill the fly, but you will create much more serious problems. And as for the list of problems you raised, you were wrong there too. A demolition order is not always justified, and each case needs to be examined on its own merits. A demolition order can also be issued against you, and you wouldn't want there to be no system to review these decisions. People have rights and it's important to protect them even if it's necessary to create deterrence and punishment. And there's more to discuss about that. In general, it is very convenient for the coalition to throw everything at the High Court of Justice. But no reform is needed to solve all these problems. Let them enact a law not to pay the family of a terrorist, and that's it. They don't legislate, but they come to the High Court with claims. It's a shame that people are being led astray by their demagogy. This does not mean that every decision they make is reasonable and logical. But there are many decisions that people make without reading and without hearing the reasoning that these are wrong and unfortunate decisions. This is not always the case.
