> This rule didn't hold in Israel [...] It did (ie. Revolutionary thresholds) until 10/7 and Hezbollah's shelling of the north changed the calculus. There was increased pressure from senior IDF careerists, industry titans, and intelligence alums (oftentimes the 3 were the same) against the government's judicial reforms which was about to reach the tip over point (eg. threats of capital outflows, leaking dirty laundry, corporate shutdowns/wildcat strikes, and resignations of extremely senior careerists), but then 10/7 happened along with the mass evacuation of the North, which led everyone to set aside their differences. Israel is a small country (same population and size as the Bay Area) so everyone either knows someone or was personally affected by the southern massacre or the northern evacuation. | ||||||||

More to the point, despite your downvoters, the judicial reform did not pass as proposed. | ||||||||
