The startling picture of the 11 Supreme Court justices discussing the cancellation of the results of the democratic vote of millions, provoking fear and wonder: How does the High Court not understand that it paralyzes the state and does not allow the political system to function? There is nothing to be surprised about, this is exactly the idea of ​​the Israeli elite: to weaken the entire political system. Weaken the political system to weaken the democracy that endangers the old hegemony. We are at the peak of a fight that is not legal, but social. A struggle that dates back to the 1977 revolution, a struggle of a determined hegemony to preserve its supremacy and to defend against ... democracy. 

Hegemonic elites find it difficult to give up their power and privileges. So is the church in front of the emperor, so is the king in front of parliament and so is the old Israeli elite, who are not prepared to accept the democratic results of the Israeli elections. Since the revolution of '77, the veteran hegemony began to gradually transfer its power and powers from the political system to the legal system, which acted to preserve the hegemony of the "enlightened public", as instructed by Aharon Barak, inter alia, by exacerbating the criminalization of Mizrahi attempts to participate in democratic life. For the judicial system, it was a continuation of a familiar pattern: from Wadi Salib and the Black Panthers, to the tents, to Abuchatzira and Tami, the struggle for Yemeni children, the Likud Center, Deri and Shas - time after time attempts of political activity by the Second Israel were marked as a criminal event.

But the move seems to have expanded, and no longer amounts to harming Israel II. At the center are representatives of the national-camp, but since she lost total control in '77, the elite has been preoccupied with crushing the entire political system. 

The figures are more than symbolic. Elite advocates claim corruption investigations were also conducted before '77. This is true, but one must be aware of proportionality and proportion. The current right-wing government has indicted more than recommended by the presence of Minister of plus or minus, including three party leaders, rather than every 30 years Mapai. And several Knesset members were convicted of corruption before becoming 77? Well: zero. 

I do not claim that the investigation is conducted before the revolution, But since the 1970s, the political system has become a preferred target for investigations and enforcement, not that the moral codes for corruption have changed, but we would probably also see parallel investigations of senior judges, but the legal system has been marked as a political tool to ensure continued enlightenment of the enlightened public. More than 20 Knesset members have been convicted of corruption, and here too the data is interesting. Head: Shas 7, Likud 7, Aharon Abuhtsira, Director of Tami 1. Go ahead with 4, but see what happens in the first Israeli Hazel parties: Meretz 0, and Labor 2; And guess who: Salah Trif and Yosef Vanuno ...

Thus the hegemony recognizes democracy as a threat Lhgmonioth, so pumped weakening trend of the entire political system by using the legal system as a political tool. it focuses in Hlaomi-msorti, its purpose is to weaken the democratic system as a whole.
