Editor’s Note

The only extremists Israel needs at the moment are extremists in favor of national healing.

In their zeal to keep our eye off the ball, defenders have scrupulously avoided telling us a few things they know can demolish their case.

“Happy enough” tends to bring out our humanity. We respect the reality that other people and groups have different views and agendas.

The term “judicial overhaul” was always misleading. What this extremist coalition is after is an Israel overhaul. Neutering the Supreme Court is simply the instrument to get there.

With a crucial final vote on a key part of the legislation scheduled for early in the week, the protestors timed their march to have their presence felt with legislators. If the coalition continues to dig in, a dangerous tipping point looms.
