| Ayelet Shaked |
In Israel, the New Right party released a campaign ad on Monday mocking left-wing fears about its positions, reports The Times of Israel.
The faux perfume video ad poses Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, a co-chair of New Right, as its sultry model, and an affected, whispering narrator listing Shaked’s goals — all under the pretense that the perfume is called “Fascism, by Ayelet Shaked.”
“A judicial revolution,” the narrator whispers, according to TOI, “scaling back [judicial] activism … judicial appointments … governance … separation of powers … reining in the High Court….”
Then, 30 seconds into the 44-second spot, Shaked picks up the perfume bottle and sprays it in the air. The soft music cuts out and, raising her eyebrows, she quips in her signature blunt tone, “To me, it smells like democracy.”
This is one of the most bizzare election ad you have ever seen: Israel's Minister of Justice (!!) Ayelet Shaked plays a model, sprays herself with "Fascism" perfume and says: "Smells like democracy to me". Viktor Orban on steroids pic.twitter.com/s8Y4Oziw75— Barak Ravid (@BarakRavid) March 18, 2019

ReplyDeleteA few more details on this. Supreme court judges are picked by other judges. She wants to end this. That's the point of the whole thing. The left has a monopoly on the Supreme Court since the court basically appoints itself.
ReplyDeleteOnly a fascist would want to prevent waves of 3rd world immigrants from coming in and contributing their skills and genes to the nation. Am I right?
