Israel Debates 'Total Suspension Of Individual Freedom' In Knesset Intel Hearing

Israel has NO constitution, by the way. Bibi must be slavering at the thought of taking away all personal freedoms of his personal and political enemies. They can barely maintain a govt as it is. Don't be surprised at a civil war there soon, mutiny of the IDF, etc. Wow.

Zerohedge article

Is this where we're all headed? Will the "Israeli model" soon be the reality across the West amid the coronavirus pandemic? 

After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced last Saturday that authorities will tap the country's 'counter-terror' technology and systems to combat the "invisible enemy" of Covid-19, Israeli media is now reporting the government is actually considering the "total suspension of individual freedom" — as a new Haaretz headline reads

Israel’s public health services chief is now urging just that: Sigal Sadetsky told the Knesset Subcommittee on Intelligence and Secret Services this week that “A lockdown and personal monitoring of people, and a total halt to personal freedoms” is urgently necessary.

The public health chief's alarming remarks raised eyebrows among lawmakers in the emergency session. When pressed on what the "halt to personal freedoms" would entail, she emphasized that going beyond a mere curfew was needed - in short a total lockdown on a national level. Haaretz reports

Sadetsy and Moshe Bar Siman Tov, the Health Ministry’s director general, tried to persuade committee members to give the Shin Bet the go-ahead to use “special technological means” to detect where people diagnosed with the disease had been and the people they were exposed to while they were contagious, and to isolate them.

Consider too this shocking exchange between an Israeli lawmaker and health services chief Sadetsky, where the latter essentially concedes that the state needs to be given totalitarian powers like China in order to combat the pandemic

Ashkenazi then asked: “When did they start it, and how effective was it?”

Sadetsky: “It’s about when you start and how strenuously you apply it, because the fact that it was all collapsing there … there was no doubt about it. Everyone will do the same. How do we see it? They will do it after the collapse and then they will…”

She was interrupted by Kish: “Lockdown?”

Sadetsky: “A lockdown, while personally monitoring people and placing a total suspension on individual freedom.”

MK Yair Lapid (Kahol Lavan) tried several times to point out that China is not a democratic country and, therefore, its situation is different to Israel’s. The health officials did not respond directly, but reiterated that both the timing and strength of the response were critical, and therefore there was scope to approve the extreme measures.

Ashkenazi noted that the extraordinary measures they were requesting would affect a great many people, because they wouldn’t only be applied to those infected but also those who were in their proximity. Bar Siman Tov confirmed this.

So what's being proposed is far beyond merely applying to those quarantined or believed exposures, but broadly and bluntly across communities, cities, and towns. 

Previously an opposition party leader from Meretz party, Nitzan Horowitz, pushed back against Netanyahu's plans for blanket counter-terror measures employed in the crisis, noting that tracking citizens “using databases and sophisticated technological means are liable to result in a severe violation of privacy and basic civil liberties.” 

Meanwhile, former US special forces soldier and now journalist Jack Murphy recently put it more bluntly and articulated what everyone's thinking

Once these "emergency measures" are implemented, they will never ever be repealed.

That's right JR the poor little jew man has no concept of a constitution. He is unable to see or comprehend what he can Not see, feel, touch, read, hear, hold and therefore Have and he will base his opinion of Loss on these facts and will Not seek further into the invisible realm. Other countries follow this 'Israel' type set-up also, but they know well how to 'create' their Own individual constitution at any time or place and have it manifest right into reality from the invisible deep. If the little jew man had any sense at all he would consult and seek advice with his Arab or western friends in the same boat or situation. Oh that's right he doesn't have any, so I guess a welcome to doom is in order. ( In an invisible constitution situation you still have rights But you have to Know where to Find them, Know how to Use them, Know when to Decline them, and Know when to run. )
