Israel's Approval of Ben-Gvir's "National Guard" Raises Concerns over Democracy and Human Rights,


 Israel's approval of far-right lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir's proposal to establish a "national guard" has raised concerns over the potential abuse of power and the impact on democracy and human rights in the country.

While the government has placed limitations on Ben-Gvir's powers, civil rights groups and critics remain wary of the potential consequences of this move. They fear that a "national guard" could lead to vigilante violence, discrimination against minorities, and a lack of accountability for abuses.

Ben-Gvir's proposed "national guard" has been criticized as a private militia that would operate outside the bounds of Israeli law. Critics have accused him of seeking to promote the interests of a particular group or individual rather than protecting all citizens and upholding the rule of law.

This move also underscores the urgent need for stronger checks and balances on power in Israel. As a democracy, Israel must ensure that any new law enforcement body adheres to the highest standards of professionalism, fairness, and impartiality.

Moreover, Israel must listen to the concerns of civil society and take action to prevent the creation of a "national guard" that could undermine the country's democratic values and principles. This includes ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their background or identity, are treated with dignity and respect and have equal access to justice.

As Israel navigates a complex political landscape, it is crucial that it remains committed to the principles of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. The approval of Ben-Gvir's proposal must be met with vigilance and scrutiny to ensure that it does not compromise these fundamental values.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
