What really undermines the Israeli democracy is disrespect to the law by the political fringes, equally by the extreme right, often represented by settlers and ultra-religious community, and the extreme left, represented by Meretz, Hadash and their supporters:
"MK Zehava Gal-On (Meretz) on Thursday slammed a High Court of Justice decision Wednesday upholding the Citizenship and Entry Law, saying the decision leaves a stain on Israel's law books. The court rejected a petition against the law, which makes Palestinians married to Israelis ineligible for Israeli citizenship. Gal-On filed the petition along with The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel (Adalah)."
I might agree with Gal-On's opinion on the matter, but I do disagree with her thinking that her opinion is more correct than the supreme court decision.
Note: MK Gal-On has already a rather scandalous reputation - see here.
