The responsibility for that decision should never have been given to police in the first place. Anyone seeking to curtail civil liberties needs to be accountable to the electorate.
So this just confirms that they wrote the laws to cover Herzog’s visit. How’s that sitting with everyone that we had our democracy upended for someone who inspired a genocide.
You could have bet the house on this happening.
The reasoning given to extend them – “we need them to maintain social cohesion” – was always obvious bullshit. They were extended so that they could keep a lid on what would have otherwise been far larger protests against Herzog’s visit. This just confirms what we already knew.
