The demonstrations against the controversial judicial reform ended in riots, the cabinet decided to reintroduce the death penalty, the finance minister publicly demanded that a Palestinian village be "erased". Do we have to worry about Israel?Unfortunately, yes. It's really scary what's happening right now. Sometimes I don't recognize my country.
