In case of abuse, David Simon asks: JAMES, tell us something we don’t know about what is going on in the Knesset, because the government has only one seat majority and even that is wavering. So is the government winning any votes? Hello David: On Tuesday night, the opposition once again made it very difficult for the government to pass legislation that will allow a committee of religious judges (Dayanim) to decide on matters of kashrut and conversion. Opposition parties used the “filibuster” tactic to delay the move. But at 3am and after 35 long hours, the government won the votes needed to turn the passage into law.
