A Unique Constitution for a Unique Country
@Haviv Retti Gur and others have been calling for an Israeli Constitution. I've written one. Israel isn't like other countries. You can't draw nice district lines, the ideological splinter lines are truly multi-faceted, and most importantly - Israel's various factions all...
