Labor MK Gilad Kariv says the government’s plan to radically reform the judicial system is the best possible gift to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

“If there is a gift to the BDS movement, it is the destructive reform that you are leading against the judicial system,” Kariv says from the Knesset podium. “If there are winds of support for all those who claim that a Jewish and democratic state is an oxymoron — it is [due to] your plans.”
