I want to thank Chavak and Linde for their replies, both of which appear to confirm my own difficulties in discovering on the Internet:
1) What are the Israeli government's concerns such that would justify their proposed legislation about the Israeli Supreme Court.
2) What is the track-record of decisions of the judges of the Israeli Supreme Court regarding Jewish self-determination within the Jewish ancestral-homeland which of course includes the "West Bank" (Judah and Samaria) and the whole of Jerusalem (in other words do the previous decisions of those Judges indicate pro-Zionism or anti-Zionism).
Here it might be appropriate to take the opportunity to express my concern (though I am not an Israeli citizen) about just one of the many proposed changes about the Israeli Supreme Court, currently proposed by the Israeli government: I do not believe that it will be appropriate in any event, to override judicial decisions by a majority Knesset vote. There can be no point in my view, in having a court if its decisions can be overridden by simple majority Parliamentary vote.
Let's take a look at what options might be used (and as I have said, I have no information on the decision-making track-record of the Israeli Supreme Court) if for example, an Israeli court were complicit with the political bias against Israel in the United Nations, and thus were making decisions incompatible with Jewish self-determination within the Jewish ancestral-homeland of Israel:
1) As is normal in many countries, some political input into the appointment of judges.
2) Term limit for judges.
3) Articles of appointment that would include both matters of good conduct, and also adherence to the basic principles of Jewish self determination within the Jewish ancestral-homeland.
4) Impeachment procedure for breach of the latter.
I have a further concern, which is about the protests:
How many of the protesters have examined the track-record of decision-making by the Israeli Supreme Court and also of when its judges sit as lower court(s), as to whether their judges show collusion with the U.N.'s anti Israel policies, or, whether it is consistent with Jewish nationalism - the Jewish people's right to live within their ancestral-homeland of Israel including the "West Bank" (Judah and Samaria) and the whole of Jerusalem.
(As I have made clear here, I cannot see for myself what that decision-making track record is, by looking on the Internet - I have to research in English, but the protesters can research this in Ivrit (Hebrew).)
How many of the protesters have done that research?
