Is the End of Israeli Democracy Nigh? Israelis Debate Its Future
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/31/world/middleeast/israel-rivlin-netanyahu-democracy.html
Arabs, peace activists and Israel's left wing have long
challenged as undemocratic the right-wing government of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But now that criticism is being
leveled by former security officials and members of the
right-wing establishment itself, including veterans of Mr.
Netanyahu's own political party and his Justice Department.
They say that the government's efforts to control the news
media, curtail the authority of the Supreme Court and
undermine once-hallowed institutions like the military
threaten the future of Israeli democracy. Their warnings have
thrown Israel into an impassioned debate over what kind of
country it is becoming, and if its democracy -- now in its
70th year -- can survive.

The words [religion] + State -- any religion -- should never be
juxtaposed. It's always a path to tyranny.
