Peloni:  Totalitarians continue to collapse democracies around the West at the behest of the judicial elites who were invisioned to preserve liberty and impose justice when the complete opposite has become far too common of late.   When Judicial Reform was first seen to have become a real potential in Israel following the last election, so many jurists around the world raised concerns while describing the Israeli judicial system as the gem of judical systems in the west, even as its rulings are based upon the whim of the High Court jurists.  And now, even as Israel is taking only modest steps to deal with its out of control judiciary amid a very real contest of wills with its own Juristocrats, courts around the Western world are moving to cement their own whims as being relevant enough to undue democratic norms.  The fate of freedom in the West will depend upon the spirit and will of the public to resist the imposition of autocracy by judicial fiat, and failing this, the life spring of liberty in the West will fail as well.

As a former Muslim apologist and preacher, I once stood in the ranks of those who fervently defended Islam’s image at every turn. I debated, I argued, and I sought to present my faith as a beacon of justice and truth. But those days are long gone. Reality has a way of breaking even the most fortified walls of delusion.

Nothing has exposed the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the so-called “pro-Palestinian” movement more than its shameful, unrepentant embrace of Hamas.

For the past year, Israelis have watched wave after wave of protests sweep the country, with the political left proclaiming their mission to “save democracy.” From mass demonstrations and road blockages to storming the Knesset and launching international campaigns, the narrative has been loud and consistent: The Netanyahu government is supposedly endangering Israel’s democratic system.

Update going to post.  As of Wednesday this is starting to settle out a little.  The entire text message chain has been released, and boy, is it a nothingburger.   At the end of the original article text, I’ve appended some comments from another forum on why it’s a nothingburger.  For those who want the short version, the updates at the top, and the concluding comments, may do the trick.  (For perspective, I do recommend not missing the ”Key takeaway” section titled with a break in bold letters.  And sorry about any redundancies.  It’s either get this up as-is, or not, at this point.)
