Is democracy dismantling in Israel? Understanding the months-long protests.

Protests in Israel have continued since January, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his party proposed judicial reforms. They say they want to reign in the Supreme Court, but many citizens think these reforms will remove checks and balances and dismantle the country’s democracy. There’s a lot to unpack to understand the situation, so we called on Rabbi Josh Weinberg, VP for Israel and Reform Zionism at the Union for Reform Judaism and Executive Director of the Association of Reform Zionists of America. He explains what these protests are about and what’s at stake, both in Israel and internationally.
