Justice Minister Levin and other right-wing politicians are being criticized on social media as well as by some right-wing commentators for their celebratory photos moments after passing the reasonableness law.

“You know how painful this is for so many people. Millions of Israelis are worried now, truly sad and fearful,” writes Hanoch Daum for Srugim. “So why do you need these selfie celebrations? What good does it do?”

Some are also noting that while the prime minister hurried to leave the plenum after the vote, it was Levin who was seen as the day’s big winner and who received much of the credit on the right.
