ISRAEL’S SUPREME COURT ANTI-RELIGION IRKS

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

If the moral base in the United States has an ongoing contest with its courts, including the Supreme Court, regarding their lack of Judeo-Christian heritage regard, the same exists in Israel. There the irritation is with their courts not caring that much about Judaism’s concerns.

In other words, Israelis regarding precious their religious heritage are irked at their Supreme Court increasingly pushing for a sheer secular culture. And this is in Israel? Yes. The lands of the Jews? Yes.

It doesn’t make sense when a culture is gradually wiped out of its religious backdrop just because unbelieving judges sit ensconced on their secular thrones. How can a court system set its goal of rewriting a nation’s history via changing laws that change a society? Yet it’s being done in the United States. It’s being done in Israel.

According to Arutz 7 News, Israel’s Supreme Court has made decisions now reaching 80%+ that are against "Jewishness." Many Jews in Israel have come to state publicly that their Supreme Court is indeed the enemy of the people.

Is not this what is echoed throughout the United States? Yes. The courts have become so high loaded with hubris that they have turned against the populace.

Headlines in Israel read: "Supreme Court Generally Rules Against Religious Interests."

"Research covered over 8,700 rulings handed down between 1993 and 2001. It studied 185 cases in depth that dealt with religious issues and requests to change or uphold the religious status quo.

"Almost two-thirds of the decisions during this period went contrary to the traditional Jewish position – and this number grew to 80% in the years 1999-2001. The rate of anti-Jewish rulings is on the upswing, having started at 53% in 1993, and growing to 80% in 2001.

"In addition, while a third of the rulings in 1993 were favorable to traditional Jewish positions, that number was only 9% in 2001."

Reaction to the pompous totally secular position of the Israeli courts has brought distaste at the Jewish grassroots. It’s abhorrent. It’s anti-Jew. It’s a purposeful plot to erase that Jewish backdrop to the Jewish nation.

"Law Professor Ruth Gavison said, ‘There is no other court in the world that has taken for itself authorities like that.’

"Prof. Shlomo Avineri said, ‘The Supreme Court's judicial activism has led to much of the population in Israel to begin seeing the Court as an enemy.’"
