I agree about the judicial review, but disagree about selection of judges.
You can see in countries like the U.S. where judges are elected or appointed only by politicians, that they lack the independence required to persecute politicians, and they usually get corrupted similar to politicians.
Israel putting judges out of politicians and the media's reach was the one good thing about the justice system.
I wouldn't mind a revert back to before Aharon Barack, but I wish we could keep the judge selection the same as it was.
Remember that the Parliament could be leftist tomorrow, would you want the left's politicians to have the same powers? I'd rather none of them have it. Not the right today and nor the left tomorrow. Them and the media are equally corrupt.
Unlike any other change in this reform, I can guarantee that the left won't revert the judge selection process if they returned to power, they will abuse it themselves. There's only going downwards from there, no politician has ever voted to reduce their power.
