Israel's top diplomat says VP Harris is clueless about judicial reform 'won't be able to answer anything'



At an event celebrating Israel's 75th anniversary of their founding, Vice President Kamala Hahahaharris opposed Israel's potential judicial system reforms and implied that the current Israeli court should remain in its current form. The problem is, however, Harris has no idea of how the Israeli judicial system works, nor any clue as to what reforms have been proposed because she hasn't read them.

But why should a little thing like knowing what you're talking about stand in the way of your opinion?

“Under President Joe Biden and our administration, America will continue to stand for the values that have been the bedrock of the U.S.-Israel relationship, which include continuing to strengthen our democracies, which… are both built on strong institutions, checks and balances — and I’ll add an independent judiciary,” Harris told a crowd of thousands in Washington, D.C. on Monday night.

Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rothman, [Israel's equivalent to Jonathan Turley] had drafted most of the framework for the reforms attended the celebration when Harris said words. Unlike the clueless seals in the audience, Rothman did not applaud after Harris' statement about the independent judiciary. 

In an interview with radio station Kan Reshet Bet on Wednesday morning, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen responded to Harris’ comments. “I can tell you that if you ask her what she’s actually opposed to in the reform, she won’t be able to answer,” he correctly pointed out.

He said that Harris “would not be able to quote from a single clause” in any of the judicial reform bills. And it's highly doubtful she could do the same with the U.S. Constitution, but that's a horse of a different gender.

Cohen said during a recent trip to Washington, “I heard comments from [Biden administration] officials [against the reform.] I asked them, ‘What exactly bothers you [about the legislation]?’ And no one knew what to tell me.

“I don’t know if [Harris] actually read the laws. My assessment is that she did not.”

It's like a Democrat bill on Capitol Hill: they are 10,000 pages long and Congress has five minutes to read it before signing it. "You need to pass the bill to know what's in it," former Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi said about a similar bill proposal.

The Biden administration has repeatedly expressed its disapproval of the floated changes to Israel’s legal system, much to the chagrin of some American lawmakers and Israeli politicians.

Biden told media that he was “very concerned” about what just happened in his skivvies and, oh yeah, the reforms. He insinuated that he was refusing to invite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House due to the ongoing legislation, but, like Harris' word utterances, he had no idea what the teleprompter was referring to.

The U.S. government has also reportedly attempted to interfere with Israel's self-governance and funded numerous protest groups involved in organizing the ongoing demonstrations aimed at stopping the reforms and bringing down the current ruling coalition.
