The General Assembly, featured only one session on judicial reform, with exclusively anti-reform panelists. Queried by JNS, JFNA president and CEO Eric Fingerhut explained that the panel—titled, “75 Years of Israeli Democracy: Understanding What’s Motivating the Largest Protest Movement in Israel’s History”—was about the protesters, not the reforms themselves.

They said that their “love and support” for Israel has caused them to follow “the increasingly acrimonious debate” over judicial reform that would “allow the Knesset to overturn decisions of the Supreme Court with a bare majority vote.”
