Since the beginning of the protest movement against the judicial overhaul, The Times of Israel has written that protesters were faced with a continuous question of “how much, if at all, should the demonstrations focus on Palestinian rights?” … hundreds of Israeli and American academics published a statement claiming that the ultimate purpose of the judicial overhaul was to “annex more land, and ethnically cleanse all territories under Israeli rule of their Palestinian population”. The statement characterized that the Palestinian population living under the Israeli-occupied territories in the West Bank and Gaza as living under apartheid, and it criticized Jewish American leaders for paying insufficient attention to this “elephant in the room.” … One of the group’s members told Haaretz that the overhaul had led the protestors to connect the judicial overhaul to the occupation after looking at the politicians pushing the reforms, who are all settlers: Smotrich, Rothman and Ben-Gvir. On 9 September 2023, a statement signed by over 3,500 Israeli academics, artists, writers and former officials called on U.S. President Joe Biden and United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres to avoid meeting with Netanyahu, claiming that the ruling government undermined Israeli democracy and was “ignoring the historical conflict that is tearing Israel apart – the forceful domination of the Palestinian people.”
