Frank, thanks for this background information. It is clear that "Forever War" is a feature of the liberal system.

The thing that should be emphasized, imo, is the changing demographics of Israel. It doesn't matter who wins this particular Supreme Court crisis because the writing is already on the wall. Among Jewish women, the highest fertility rate was for ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) women at 6.64 children per woman, followed by religious women at 3.92 and 1.96 for secular women. The average birth rate of Israeli Muslim women is 3.0 and of Palestinians in Gaza, 3.8 in 2019. Therefore the future of Israel belongs to the Orthodox and the Muslims, regardless of any of the twists and turns of daily political life.

Want a leftist Israel longterm? Better find a way for them to dramatically alter their ideology away from materialist nihilism which is inherently ant-natalist, although it's too late imo.
