The words of Ambassador Tom Neides, about "shared values" between Israel and the US and the need to reach changes in the judicial system by agreement, remind us of a state of protection. It's as if someone came into your home and patted the child's head, saying: "You have very nice children, but look Out - the fire is burning in your backyard."
Naides' words, and President Biden before him, reveal the involvement in creating internal pressures in Israel against the elected government.
At the same time, Secretary Blinken held a conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu on Saturday night, in which he decided to bring back the "two states" issue in the Palestinian arena.
The moves send a clear message that the Americans oppose the Abraham Accords, are prepared to sabotage them, and are also trying to create a "give and take" on the Iranian issue.
Blinken entered the political issue with the assessment that the riots here weakened Netanyahu.
He does not expect to achieve peace with the Palestinians, but to further undermine the government and stability in the country.
Commentators such as Tony Badran state that the democratic administration sees the world as a mirror image of the intra-American division of power.
Therefore, in Israel there are good people, loyal to the Democratic Party, such as Yair Lapid and the security establishment;
And there are bad ones, who went with the Republicans.
But when you check contents and ideas, there is a question mark about the "values".
Precisely within the Democratic Party, there is a current that thinks about the status of the Supreme Court things very similar to what we think on the right.
In other words, major changes need to be made in that court, which prohibits abortions - but not in the Jerusalem court, which receives petitions every Monday and Thursday from the Movement for the Quality of Government, which has received financial infusions from the State Department in recent years.
"The idea that the Supreme Court will be the final arbiter of what the Constitution allows is part of a strange annual ritual for a nation that next month will once again celebrate its independence from an unelected king," wrote Prof. Dafna Renan and Prof. Nicholas Bowie of Harvard in their article last June in "The Atlantic", titled : "The Supreme Court should not have so much power."
According to them, "the judicial decisions destroyed the definitions that the majority of the public considered essential for a functioning multiracial democracy."
It is impossible to speak more succinctly about the court in Israel.
The spread of anti-Semitism in America indicates social decay and the deterioration of democracy.
According to data from Beit Hillel, about 25% of undergraduate students at Harvard in 2015 were Jewish, and in 2022 there would be only 10%.
At the same time, the percentage of students who identify as Jewish has decreased within three years, since 2019, from 10% to 5.3%.
Sorry, but in the US in 2021 more than 105 thousand people died from drug overdose. Much has been written about the retreat from the values of freedom of thought, speech and the press, and the democratic government has a large part in the phenomenon.
Americans have something to learn from Israel.
