Israeli media has reported that the Netanyahu government plans to approve new rules that will authorise police to use live fire on protesters blocking roads or entrances to cities inside Israel during the war.
According to the report, the rules have been championed by Itamar Ben Gvir, the ultra-nationalist settler and member of Netanyahu’s cabinet who oversees the police. They have received the rubber stamp of Israel’s attorney general, and will be brought before the government for authorisation on Sunday.
Before the war began on 7 October, Israeli demonstrators had been turning out weekly by the hundreds of thousands against the Netanyahu government’s plan to weaken the judiciary, with protesters regularly blocking major Israeli thoroughfares. Much smaller demonstrations have been taking places since the war started, calling for the government to work to release the Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
The war has sparked a crackdown by the Israeli government against perceived dissent, with hundreds of people arrested or disciplined for speech sympathetic to Gazans. Police have been given wide new powers to determine what applies as “support for terrorism”, and have declared they will not allow solidarity demonstrations in support of Gaza.

…and so it begins! I called this a few weeks back as soon as the attacks happened. It’s straight out of the despot playbook, not that it takes a super brain to see it was an obvious play about to be executed. Desperately sad that any judiciary reform that was vehemently opposed will now sail through under the banner of ‘national security’ when Israeli citizens are at their weakest and most vulnerable.
What next? More judiciary reforms to erode civil liberties? More mechanisation of military services? More plundering of lands for material wealth? Are Rumsfeld, Bush and Cheney political advisors?
I think we can safely say in light of this, any open cases into illegal open fire cases on Palestinian civilians (murders) will now be whitewashed:
