The latest fighting between Palestinians and Israelis serves as 1) a diversion from controversy over Binyamin Netanyahu’s judicial subordination plans that 2) makes protesters appear disloyal.
The fighting, which began on Tuesday [May 9, 2023] and has seen nearly 1,000 rockets fired at Israel, has led to the cancelation of this week’s mass protests against the Israeli government in Tel Aviv. The protests [against the Binyamin Netanyahu government’s judicial subordination plans] have taken place every Saturday night for much of the year and regularly draw tens of thousands of people.[2]
