Fascist Israeli government? They get crazier by the minute.
The Israeli government seems fairly progressive authoritarian. Granted, they haven't abolished the Knesset, but its structure and legislative freedom would suggest tyranny of the majority.
Not that I'm complaining.
What exactly constitutes tyranny?
Well... oppression.
Wasn't a well worded comment, though. What I mean is that the Knesset isn't bound by the any great constitutional measures. They can dictate law through simple majority, and there doesn't seem to be any safeguard against tyranny of the majority.
It'll be interesting to see how the arab uprisings within Israel proper are handled.
So you basically meant majoritarian. Yes, Israel does not have a constitution, but the Supreme Court has decided that it's still going to hold the government to general principles of law.
The funny thing is, many European countries also do not have judicial review.
