Dozens of supporters of the judicial overhaul are protesting outside the home of former Supreme Court chief justice Aharon Barak.
“May God strike you,” one of the protesters can be heard shouting at Barak through a megaphone.
The 86-year-old Holocaust survivor has long been the target of right-wing anger regarding the current state of the judiciary, with his critics claiming he acted to give it too much power.
״שאלוהים יכה בך״. הפגנה ממש עכשיו על דלת ביתו של אהרן ברק. אדם בן 86, שמגיעים להלך איימים עליו ועל אישתו המבוגרת שלא בקו הבריאות. הפגנה שאירגנו אם תרצו. טיפת מוסר. בושה. pic.twitter.com/yq6BMMgHXn
