The “judicial coup” of the Government in Israel is leading to unprecedented situations: tens of thousand of people on the streets in protest week after week and an enormous number of reserve military forces refusing the serve politicians turning their backs on democracy.
In the middle of all the instability, there’s a tendency surging: that of people leaving the country. The “relocation” is in the plans of whoever feels their rights are being threatened and of whoever fears the effect on their business, according to the Israeli press, and the potential destinations are varied, among them being Portugal.

10% of the Portuguese population in Portugal are of Jewish descent, the Jewish people started coming to Portugal more than 2,000 years ago. And if more Jewish people want to emigrate to Portugal, they are welcomed to make Portugal their 2nd home, and live free in Peace, in a democracy.

Israel has true strong democracy, The representatives of the people who will be elected in a democratic process enact laws. the elections were 7 month ago, a government was formed after the election with a clear majority of 64 member of parliament. Some of the minority did not accept the election results and chose to demonstrate. Changing the legislation initiated by the coalition is necessary to strengthen democracy. The claims of the anarchist minority that did not win a majority and are protesting about a lack of democracy are absurd claims.

Zahi Landa's comment cannot go unchallenged. The Israeli state is hardly democratic, with a single chamber, no checks or balances, except the Supreme Court, no written constitution and a number of political parties blatantly anti-democratic inside the current botched-together coalition. The Supreme Court was the one, independent, string if government free from direct political control. Now that is gone 'Bibi' can pass 'unreasonable' laws such as protecting himself from prosecution!

A complex issue that merits more than the cursory and easily misinterpreted article you have published. I would like to refer readers to the website of the American Jewish Committee where a balanced explanation can be found. To compensate for some ill informed comments here, I am copying one part of AJC’s information: “Proponents of the law have argued for years that the High Court, which consists of unelected judges, has exerted too much power and has overturned laws and decisions by the duly elected members of the legislative and executive branches (which in Israel’s parliamentary system, are largely one and the same). Therefore, reforms such as the removal of the reasonableness standard are designed to rein in the High Court’s power and restore balance between the judicial, legislative, and executive branches.” The whole article can be found here https://www.ajc.org/news/what-does-the-passage-of-the-reasonableness-bill-mean-for-democracy-in-israel

Sadly, Israel has become an authoritarian state, under Netanyahu, who is being criminally investigated. With his allies, he is seeking to remove the checks and balances provided by the highest court in Israel, and thus bolstering and consolidating his power. He is dangerous to Israel, and to democracy around the globe. There is nothing "democratic" about what has happened in Israel, so I would suggest the person who thinks there is nothing wrong there should up sticks and move. Portugal today is a strongly democratic nation, and there is no room for totalitarian regimes among those who believe in the separation of powers.
