Quote of the Day
Countries can go from a democracy to a dictatorship, as is happening by us. A country that is a dictatorship can only become a democracy via spilling of blood. That is the history of the world.
-- Mayor of Tel Aviv Ron Huldai today at the protest against the judicial reforms.
Huldai later explained that he is not calling for the spilling of blood but was talking historically how it happens and that once we become a dictatorship there is no going back, and therefore the legislation being advanced that will turn our country into a dictatorship should be stopped now
An MK filed a police complaint against Huldai for incitement, and others called for him to be investigated.
Wild. This is really heating up.

"Countries can go from a democracy to a dictatorship, as is happening by us."
ReplyDeleteWhat an absurd comment. As though anyone is proposing dissolving the Knesset or ending elections. The left is really acting Orwellian in this case.
Not that it makes a difference, the entire statement is idiotic, but the second part of his comment is also false: "A country that is a dictatorship can only become a democracy via spilling of blood."
ReplyDeleteThere are many examples of totalitarian regimes that became democracies without bloodshed. When the iron curtain came down, almost all of Eastern Europe adopted democracy without spilling any blood.
And almost always countries go the other way *with* spilling of blood. When I see that, I'll start getting nervous, but not before.
DeleteMS: That's true, but Eastern Europe experienced dictatorship imposed from without, i.e., the Soviet Union. Whenever they tried to undo it (Hungary, Czekoslovakia), the Soviet Union brutally imposed dictatorship from without.
