1:00 Which laws have the Israeli Supreme Court struck down?
1:30 Is a dictatorship always necessarily worse than a democracy?
2:00 Who voted for the members of the Israeli Supreme Court?
3:00 If democracy is the opinion of the majority of voters, why is it assumed that most voters are wise? If they are not wise, why care what they think?
5:00 Does democracy necessarily always bring about better government than a dictatorship? How do we know when we enjoy good government? I would suggest that when we enjoy good government, our society is not polarised and close to a civil war. What is the culture war about? Essentially, half of Israelis want to continue worshiping at the shrine of liberal democracy and the other half have had enough of it after six elections in five years. Those who want to continue worshiping their idol of liberal democracy are those who want to enjoy sexual liberation from the rules of marriage and good parenting, and those who have had enough of the Israeli Supreme Court are social conservatives who see the point of two married biological parents living together in a loving relationship bringing up the children of their marriage.
7:00 What are the values of liberal democracy? Are they in harmony with Torah principles?
9:00 Is liberal democracy idolatry? Do Jews ever discuss hidden idolatry?
12:00 Which rights should be "human rights" and who gets the casting vote if not God?
