Thousands of Israelis rally against Netanyahu legal reforms: 'We came here to fight for democracy'

Tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated in three major cities on Saturday against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial reform plans, with organizers accusing him of undermining democratic rule weeks after his re-election.

Leading a religious-nationalist coalition with a solid parliamentary majority, Netanyahu — now in his sixth term — wants to rein in the Supreme Court in what he has described as a restoration of the balance of the three branches of government.

"We came here to fight for the democracy," demonstrator Jacoub Yosha said. "We will not accept it."

Critics say the proposed reforms would cripple judicial independence, foster corruption, set back minority rights and deprive Israel's court system of credibility that helps fend off war crime allegations abroad. Among those opposed are the Supreme Court chief justice and the country's attorney-general.

APOCALIPSIS 6. 3 Cuando abrió el segundo sello, oí al segundo ser viviente, que decía: Ven y mira. 4 Y salió otro caballo, bermejo; y al que lo montaba le fue dado poder de quitar de la tierra la paz, y que se matasen unos a otros; y se le dio una gran espada.
