More to the point, despite your downvoters, the judicial reform did not pass as proposed.

It's because I called 10/7 a massacre, which it was.

I don't quite know what you mean by that phrase. The conversation was about what constitutes a massacre, and I was trying to get a calibrating sense. Surely we both agree that 70-100k dead civilians disproportionately targeting children and medical workers/facilities would be at least one massacre, maybe several dozen.
