More than anyone else, the person who heralded the “Jewish democratic” revolution was former Chief Justice Aharon Barak. When Barak was asked what, in his opinion, a Jewish state was, he explained that whatever is democratic is Jewish. In other words, in Israel’s High Court, Israel became democratic and democratic. When former president Peres resigned, he had no qualms about saying, “For me, the state of Israel is the state of all its citizens.”

To sum it all up, my dear democrats: Democracy is the last thing that interests you. Your intention is to erode Israel’s Jewish identity and you do so by means of what you call “democracy.” The Jewish State Bill does no harm at all to democracy. On the contrary; it preserves the values of the majority and does not allow a small minority to act against its will. But the Jewish State Bill somewhat curbs your quest to erase Israel’s Jewish identity. And that is what makes you so livid.
