Скачать или смотреть How Israel's legal system took center stage in a culture war (w/Gadi Taub) | Basic Law

Israel’s democracy, judicial power and national identity take center stage in this episode of Basic Law, hosted by Aylana Meisel, Executive Director of the Israel Law and Liberty Forum. This week, Meisel sits down with leading Israeli thought-leader and podcaster Dr. Gadi Taub for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation filmed live at the JNS International Policy Summit in Jerusalem.
In this special episode, Dr. Taub—one of the most compelling conservative voices in Israeli academia—traces the historical roots of Zionism and explains why Israel’s current constitutional crisis is about much more than legal reform. Together, Meisel and Taub unpack the rise of Israel’s “judicial aristocracy,” the political capture of unelected bodies like the Attorney General and Supreme Court and why Israel’s left has shifted power from the ballot box to the bench.
