Brilliant analysis by Gadi Taub.Also as a very lucid, clear explanation of Israel’s present defacto “constitution” that with background in Israeli law and politics.
In my opinion, the closest historical precidents for Israel’s “judaiocracy: were the :aristocratic republic” of Venice before the Venetian state was incorated into a united Italy in 1866-70, and the “Council of Ephors” of ancient Sparta iaround 400 BCE. This was the council whose unwillingness to send any reinforcement to King Leonidas when he and the heroic 300 heroic Spartan warriors were holding the pass at Thermopolye from the Persian hordes led to their being all killed. There was irony in the message that the betrayed Leonidas sent to the Ephors shortly before the final Persian assault–we lie here in accordance with the (Spartan) laws.
Israel’s supreme court is a modern reincarnation of the Council of Ephors. I just hope that our thousand of heroes who have fallen in battle fighting the Iran-backed terrorist organization will not be forced to “lie there” in obedience not to Israel’s actual laws, but to the High Court’s illegal decrees.
